Look at Arizona's schedule!!! They play the 3 playoff teams in their division. They play the Chargers, Denver and KC. They play Philly, Dallas and Detroit. And they get the Giants, Washington, New Orleans, the Jets and Raiders. One or two of those last 5 could be good. Who knows? That's a tough schedule, particularly for a weakling like Arizona. 9 playoff teams and 3 other teams who most are predicting for the postseason. Whew!!! Some things just don't seem fair!!!
The Rams may be getting all the ink but a lot of lofty goals stated by either players or coaches, or both on some teams.........
Lots of talk about Chicago and Johnson wanting to have the best offense in NFL history. If they get there, they will have earned it. 6 games vs top 10 Ds; 9 games vs top 12 D's. 6 tough division games. Plus Philly, New England, Seattle, Jacksonville and Buffalo. They get the NFC South though. It's going to be interesting to see if Caleb gets better during the first 3 quarters and doesn't have a drop off late in games. They're a strong offense but that defense........
There's also lots of talk about Dallas (by Dallas!!!) GOTI. Not the mobster. Greatest offense there is? They play 6 top 10 Ds also, and 2 more in the top 13. They play the NFC West, Green Bay, Houston, Jacksonville, Baltimore and Indy. Plus 6 crazy division games. I keep hearing they could have the best offense in the NFL this year. And their defense is going to be stellar.
Teams predicted to become playoff teams in 2026 (however wildly some may be)
New Orleans. It should help them that there's only 5 playoff teams on their schedule and 3 of them are Carolina, Carolina and Pittsburgh. All early exiters. They do get Detroit, Baltimore and Cincinnati, all predicted to be playoff teams by some in the media. Cupcake games? I know there aren't any in the NFL but the closest might be Las Vegas, Atlanta (twice), NYG, Cleveland, Tampa (twice), Arizona, which is almost half their schedule.
Some talk of the Giants being a surprise team now that they have sanity on the sideline in Harbaugh. They play 7 playoff teams...Rams, Houston, Jacksonville, SF, Seattle and Philly twice. Plus teams thought to be on the rise in Dallas, N. Orleans, Detroit and Indianapolis. Cupcakes would be Tennessee, Arizona and Cleveland.
Detroit is predicted to win the division by some people. That could be accurate. They face off against 7 playoff teams, 2 from their division (4 g). They also get Buffalo and New England, as well as lightweight Carolina. They get Tampa who some think is the best team in the South but I'm not so sure. Cupcakes galore!!! The Jets, Arizona, Miami, Atlanta and Tennessee.
Minnesota with Kyler? They have a crazy unpredictable D. 8 playoff teams, 4 in the division plus Buffalo, San Francisco and New England (Carolina too). They have 2 more tough games vs Detroit. They also play Tampa, Indy, New Orleans and Washington all with possibilities. Cupcakes are Miami and the Jets.
The heavyweights?
Before I start on these teams, what's wrong with this picture? The Rams and Niners have to go to Australia but what do they get when they come back? The Rams get the Giants on MNF, go to Denver and Philadelphia. The niners get Miami, Arizona and Denver all at home.
Green Bay. They lost their DC and Micah Parsons won't be back until around mid-October. Is Tucker Kraft (a guy who raked for me in fantasy until being injured) going to be weapon right out of the gate? Ram fans worry about a suspended Puka or Alaric. Well if Josh Jacobs doesn't get 4 or 5 times as much as those guys, something is wrong. They have a lot of weapons so they should be in the mix unless there's another rash of injuries. 7 playoff teams. 6 tough division games. And Dallas. But they own Dallas, having lost just once since 2008. 7-1-1 in the regular season and 3-0 in the playoffs.
Philly. AJ Brown was the problem right? We'll see. As one sports show put it, if things go South is it Mannion's fault? Hurts' fault? Siriani's fault? Or all three? Before we bury them understand, there are just 3 teams who've won more than the Eagles the last 25 years. New England, Green Bay and Pittsburgh. They have played in 8 CCGs during that time (4-4) as well as 4 Super Bowls (2-2). But getting back to their schedule. Tough division games as usual. But also the Rams, Seattle and @San Francisco, as well as @Chicago, @Jacksonville, Houston as well as Pittsburgh, Indy and Carolina. Cupcakes are Tennessee and Arizona, possibly the Giants or Washington.
San Francisco. Lotsa shit going on with them, eh? Shanahan in a wreck nobody wanted reported. Jed York thinking he was hooking up with Trailer Park Tammy, instead hooked up with a human trafficking sting. Crazy (bi-polar) Brandon Aiyuk entertaining everybody on Instagram, Facebook and any other social media site. Ricky Pearsall missing the season. Kittle coming off achilles surgery. McCaffrey turned 30. But hey, there's good news. They found out that substations doesn't only cause injuries, it causes people to lose their minds. Cell phones while driving. Imaginary hookers in Cleveland. I'd think the only thing that could out-do that shit, is if Bill Walsh rose from the dead. Well their schedule is tough too. 7 playoff teams. A handful more predicted to be playoff teams. An early bye which mean those older players are going to have to go from week 9 till whenever it ends without a break. Well Shanahan has worked wonders with injury crippled units before. He can do it, right?
Seattle. Oh how they're flying under the radar!!! Like nobody remembers they won the Super Bowl? Come on man, there isn't flying under the radar for a Champion though they'd like everybody to think that. They have the "defensive Sean McVay" on the sidelines. A rejuvenated and vindicated Sam Darnold. JSN. And that defense. Sure nobody knows about them!!! 10 playoff teams although 1 is Carolina. Plus KC and Dallas the Giants and Washington. Cupcakes are Arizona twice and Las Vegas. Seattle, along with the Rams and Atlanta have the 3rd latest bye week in the NFC (wk 11). Arizona and Dallas have week 14 byes. The NFL believes it's going to be a repeat of 2025 but this year the Rams and Seahawks might potentially play 3 times over the last 6 weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
The Rams. We know all about them and the things most closely associated with them. Fuck them picks. All in. 13P. I'm surprised the forum isn't erupting into total chaos. We thought we were going to welcome back AD but got Tutu instead!!!!!
There are an average of 5 to 6 new playoff teams each year......which means 5 to 6 playoff teams don't make it the next year. How the NFC going to shake out?
