Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?
Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?
My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial “ball pulled out by Lucy” in week 16-18.
I think Denver has a lot of momentum right now. And maybe the Texans as well
Could be fun
Jaguars will be the collapse. Trevor is quietly playing worse than Josh Allen and getting carried by the Jags defense
I could see the Minnesota Vikings going on a deep playoff run. Dobbs has looked good and their defense is much better this year.
As for a collapse I do not see the Browns or Steelers making the playoffs however Burrows injury does complicate things.
Texans run Jags collapse under hair locks
Ravens collapse. Texans rise (if they don’t count then it’s the raiders or chargers. But the patriots would be hilarious)
Cardinals
IDK how wild this is but the Broncos are making the playoffs. Vikings and Josh Dobbs will still be solid but not good enough to overcome an incomplete team and they will lose more close games
My vote is either Jaguars or Seahawks
Commanders (hopium)
Throw Malik Cunningham in the game and pats might finish 10-8.
Look I just lost Burrow let me live in delusion for a while.
Denver frankly controls their own destiny with their schedule. I could 100% see them sneak in somehow with a 9-8 record based off tiebreakers. And it’d be fun to honestly see them rematch Miami in a 7/2 matchup.
Our last 3 games are against the cowboys, ravens, and bills. It’ll be rough.
Vikings will finish 12-5 after a 1-4 start only losing to the Lions away
Colts have the easiest schedule in the league. I’d wager they make a run and the Texans game could be a win and in game for both teams
I know everyone is gonna think this is stupid, but the Saints are about to go 6-1. We will beat the Lions and win at least one home playoff game.
