The vikings are going to be Les Steckel bad this year. Like 2-15 bad. Fold like high thread count sheets. Every close game they won last year will be cosmically extracted from them this year. Justin Jefferson will demand and receive a trade in week 6, kicking off a reverse Hershel walker deal. They will still not win a super bowl this decade.

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.



Wedge Regret
My totally accurate and realistic season predictions:

AFC East:
Bills 11-6 - #3 Seed
Jets 10-7 - #7 Seed
Patriots 9-8
Dolphins 8-9

Bills aren't as dominant as they looked last year, but they still win the division. Jets make the playoffs but also don't match expectations. Patriots offense isn't a dumpster fire, barely miss the playoffs and Belichick continues to claw towards Shula's record. Dolphins are undone by Tua missing 5~ games, but not all due to concussions.

AFC North:

Bengals 11-6 - #2 Seed
Steelers 10-7 - #6 Seed
Ravens 8-9
Browns 8-9

Bengals & Burrow remain good, but drop a few in the division. Steelers improve on last year cause Tomlin is a good coach. Lamar gets COVID and misses another 3 games, while the Ravens old guys again falter as Kawalimus is arrested for attempting to kidnap John Harbaugh shortly after Thanksgiving. gently caress Watson, but Chubb and Garrett steal the Browns some wins.

AFC South:

Jaguars 10-7 - #4 Seed
Texans 7-10
Colts 7-10
Titans 6-11

Jags continue the hot streak from the back half of last season, Calvin Ridley looks good. Texans are more competitive than 7-10 indicates, but still need improvement across the board. Colts start slow, Richardson improves in the back half, but they go 1-5 in the division to torpedo their season. Titans have QB issues and Henry starts to age outside of still ripping off at least one huge game against Houston.

AFC West:

Chiefs 12-5 - #1 Seed
Chargers 10-7 - #5 Seed
Broncos 9-8
Raiders 5-12

Kansas City is the best because Mahomes until demonstrably proven otherwise, they cruise early. Chargers back into the playoffs by winning the last game of the season when the Chiefs rest their starters. Denver improves but Russ still isn't great. Raiders fart about under McDaniels but pull a few upsets over the Jets and Chargers.

NFC East:

Eagles 12-5 - #1 Seed
Giants 11-6 - #5 Seed
Cowboys 10-7 - #6 Seed
Commanders 6-11

Eagles talent keeps them as the top seed, but they're less dominant and cracks appear even as they go 5-1 in the division. Giants offense takes a big step up with more weapons and year 2 under Daboll, but a 1-3 finish to the season costs them the division. McCarthy's playcalling doesn't help the Cowboys and Dak misses 3 games. Washington has flashes but inconsistent QB play sinks them and they go 0-6 against the division.

NFC North:

Lions 11-6 - #2 Seed
Vikings 9-8
Packers 7-10
Bears 5-12

Lions :bandwagon: lets go, they compete for the top seed most of the season. Vikings fall back to earth in close games and go 2-4 in the division. Packers are better than their record indicates, Love is solid but not spectacular, and viewed as a dark horse team going into 2024. Bears go 0-4 down the stretch to finish with a wet fart.

NFC South:

Panthers 9-8 - #4 Seed
Saints 8-9
Falcons 6-11
Buccaneers 4-13

Panthers have a good staff and made good moves, they win the division even with Bryce Young not exactly lighting things up (Andy Dalton will go 2-1 as a starter near mid season). Saints offense improves with Carr, but the defense gets worse so they still have a losing record. Falcons start 3-7 and can't dig themselves out of the hole, Arthur Smith ends the season spicy hot. Bucs start the season 0-4, rebound a bit after their bye week, but then finish 0-5 by which time they're on their 4th QB of the season due to injuries and poor play and the staff is cleaning out their offices.

NFC West:

49ers 11-6 - #3 Seed
Seahawks 10-7 - #7 Seed
Rams 9-8
Cardinals 3-14

49ers system continues to roll along, although Purdy is a bit shakier at times. Seahawks win more games, but Geno Smith isn't quite as good as last year, they still win their last 3 to get the last playoff spot. Rams start 0-3 but improve from there as long as everybody doesn't turn to dust again. Cardinals are in full tank mode, Kyler returns, looks okay for like 3 weeks, then gets hurt and goes back on IR a week after Call of Duty is released.

Playoffs:

Wildcard:

Chargers over Jaguars - Revenge for last season and Herbie gets a playoff win.
Bills over Steelers - Bills still good, Steelers young but falter in a close game in the end.
Bengals over Jets - Bengals rested starters in the last game, Jets couldn't and by this time, Rodgers is disgruntled with the media again.

Giants over Panthers - Danny Dimes dominates while the Panthers stumble.
49ers over Cowboys - Mike McCarthy calls a horrible trick play that fails in the 4th (Let's say... a Dak surprise quick punt on a 3rd down that nets 21 yards), which leads to the game winning TD for the 49ers. gently caress the Cowboys.
Lions over Seahawks - Lions win their first playoff game since 1991, kneecaps in Detriot are ruined.

Divisional:

Bengals over Bills - Repeat of last year, only in Cincinnati instead of Buffalo.
Chiefs over Chargers - Mahomes and Reid demolish the Chargers, who felt a false sense of security after beating Blaine Gabbert in the last week of the regular season.
Lions over 49ers - Playoff game of the year, Lions are the underdog but win 37-34 on a Goff TD to Amon-Ra St. Brown with seconds left.
Giants over Eagles - Giants pull a huge upset and catch the Eagles by surprise, having learned from last year. Afterwards, it's learned Jalen Hurts had a knee injury.

Conference:

Chiefs over Bengals - 3rd year in a row for this match up, same result as last year, only without the same drama of Mahomes limping around as much.
Giants over Lions - Lions finally fall apart with Jared Goof reappearing at the worst time, Giants win convincingly.

Super Bowl LVIII:

Giants 38, Chiefs 35 - Danny Dimes MVP, a quarter of TFF completely loses their poo poo, while somewhere, Eli Manning smiles and nods.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

AFC Seeds
1. Chiefs
2. Jaguars
3. Ravens
4. Jets
5. Bills
6. Bengals
7. Dolphins

Jags have a cake schedule so if we see reasonable progression from Lawrence they can sneak into the 2 seed. I think Lamar is also in for a big year but the AFC East and North are meat grinders.

AFC seeds
1. Jacksonville (13-4). Jags were a respectable 12th in the league in points allowed last year. They can’t be any lower than that if they’re going to be competitive with the best of the AFC.
2. Kansas City (13-4). The Chris Jones holdout worries me a bit. Still expect it to get solved, but if he misses half the season, or some big chunk, well, there’s not a Chris Jones on the practice squad to take his place.
3. New York Jets (11-6). Impossible division to forecast. But the last six games for the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets swayed me a bit: Atlanta and Houston home, at Miami, Washington home, at Cleveland, at New England. Surviveable.
4. Cincinnati (11-6). In Burrow I trust. Toughest division to forecast 1 through 4.
5. Buffalo (11-6). Stefon Diggs’ psyche is a factor. Big key could be Von Miller being eased back in to face Burrow, Rodgers, Hurts, Mahomes, Prescott and Herbert in second half. (Lord, who invented that seven-game death march?)
6. Baltimore (10-7). The Todd Monken offense, playing faster, should fit Lamar Jackson well—as should first-round receiver Zay Flowers.
7. Pittsburgh (9-8). You know how tough it is to keep Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert out of the playoffs? Kenny Pickett’s a top-12 QB by December.
Pittsburgh wins tiebreaker with Miami (9-8) and the L.A. Chargers (9-8) to earn seventh seed.
Wild card: Kansas City over Pittsburgh, N.Y. Jets over Baltimore, Buffalo over Cincinnati.
Divisional: Kansas City over N.Y. Jets, Buffalo over Jacksonville.
AFC Championship at Kansas City: Buffalo 27, Kansas City 25.


NFC seeds
1. San Francisco (13-4). Adversity’s Team. This just in: The Niners are still very good at football. (Proviso: They have to sign Nick Bosa in the next few days.)
2. Philadelphia (12-5). Best roster in football, 1 to 53. That matters a lot in a 17-game season.
3. Detroit (10-7). I buy the hype.
4. Atlanta (9-8). Every year, there’s a last-to-first division winner. This year, Falcons edge their good friends the Saints in the NFC South.
5. Dallas (11-6). Feels like a huge year for the future of Dak Prescott, and maybe Mike McCarthy.
6. Seattle (10-7). I worry about the run defense (allowed 4.9 yard per rush last year), but not about Geno Smith. He’ll have his second straight legit year, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be a great add.
7. Green Bay (10-7). Dart-throwing. They edge the 9-8 Giants on the basis of Jordan Love playing B-minus football and an ascending D.

Wild card: Philadelphia over Green Bay, Detroit over Seattle, Dallas over Atlanta.
Divisional: Dallas over San Francisco, Philadelphia over Detroit.
NFC Championship at Philadelphia: Philadelphia 23, Dallas 16.

Super Bowl 58, at Las Vegas, Feb. 11, 2024: Philadelphia 30, Buffalo 26.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

I predict that Minnesota will be a lot better than people expect because of a turnaround on defense. Then they will fall apart in the playoffs as Brian Flores gets hired for a head coaching job mid week before the game.

It really has nothing to do with their roster strength in relation to the rest of the AFC. They’re pretty good. They’re just in the easiest division playing the easiest division in the opposite conference.
