The Way Too Early 2019 Playoff Prediction Thread

Alright, just for funzies at this point because it's the off-season and we need something else to debate about... Who do you think will make the playoffs in 2019 and why? I'll start with my picks:

AFC:

Patriots - No explanation needed. They have the best coach, quarterback, and probably overall roster in the division.

Colts - Rebuilt OL, Luck at the helm, and a defense on the rise should propel them to another playoff berth.

Browns - One of the most talented rosters in the league hands down w/ an All-Star caliber QB at the helm and many playmakers on defense.

Chargers - Stability at QB, top-flight arsenal of offensive weapons, and strong set of pass rushers on defense.

Texans - Simply a solid team all around and Watson will have another year under his belt.

Bills - I think Josh Allen takes a big step this year. Zay Jones is poised for a breakout year, and Robert Foster is an emerging potential star who had a fantastic rookie year, especially late.


NFC:
Rams - They have tons of talent on both sides of the ball still.

Saints - See above.

Cowboys - Hate to say it, but it seems like they are set to make another run.

Packers - Hate to say it again.. but it seems like they may have fixed some of their issues.

Eagles - Feel like it'll be close, but they have to talent to make it.

49ers - Homer pick here. Feel like our new weapons, healthy stable of runners, addition of pass rushers, a couple corners, a couple replacements at LB, and the return of Jimmy will push us to a winning record.

9ers will win the west. You heard it here first.

AFC: Pats, Browns, Chargers, Colts
wc: Chiefs, Jags

NFC: 49ers, Cowboys, Vikings, Falcons
wc: Seahawks, Saints

Talent wins right?

I agree. Also, I got them sending BB and Brady into retirement after they whip them in the SB.

Seattle will not make the playoffs.

Because f**k them.

Shanny is licking his chops right now (all his shiny toys). If healthy, this could be the best offense this year, especially if Hurd clicks right away #NightmareMismatch. The D has me a little worried and so does the depth on oline, but again, if we stay healthy #GameOver for BB and Brady and the rest of the league

AFC:
Patriots
Steelers
Colts
Chiefs

Wildcard: Chargers, Ravens

NFC:

Lambs
Saints
Packers
Eagles

Wildcard: Cowboys, Bears
