One of the stated goals of expanding both the playoff field and the regular season schedule was to have more time with every team being technically viable. Well, the NFL got its wish, as we are a week past Thanksgiving and somehow every fanbase can still talk themselves into their team as a Super Bowl winner. Not sure how that’s possible for the Lions — I think their razor-thin path to the 7 seed involves at least one tie — but even their 0-10-1 record doesn’t eliminate them. Maybe that’s nice, but I kinda think some fanbases might prefer to be put out of their misery, and I don’t think knowing it’s totally possible I could see a Broncos playoff game is worth knowing that the playoffs will likely feature less and less parity. Just my opinion.

  • Bears over Lions
    Lions thanksgiving games are so cursed.
  • Raiders over Cowboys in THX OT
    Hilarious.
  • Bills over Saints
    Both my Saints and my fantasy team need Alvin Kamara back pretty bad.
  • Buccaneers come back over Colts
    I guess it was overachieving for the Colts to be in the lead in the first place, but I can’t believe they choked it away knowing the whole league was rooting for them.
  • Giants over FailEagles
    Division games are a hell of a drug.
  • Falcons over Jaguars
    Exactly the kind of game that I would prefer not to have any implications whatsoever.
  • Jets over Texans
    This one too.
  • Dolphins over Panthers
    And this, really. Cam… Just.. Yikes…
  • Bengals kick the shit out of Steelers
    Also hilarious.
  • Patriots over Titans
    The Titans have broken the record for most players used in a season, and I think that’s an incredible record to break. About half of Tennessee has been part of the 2021 Titans.
  • Broncos over Chargers!!!!
    We have some kind of mojo over the Chargers. This will be aberrant.
  • Packers over Rams
    Oof Stafford.
  • 49ers over Vikings
    Oof Cousins.
  • Nobody wins Ravens/Browns
    BIG OOF LAMAR AND BAKER.
  • Washington over Chaos over Seahawks
    Nothing says Seahawks quite like tying the game before halftime by giving up a terrible touchdown but blocking the extra point and returning it for 2, then failing to score again until the final minute only to fail the 2-point conversion, then recovering the onside kick only to have it called back for an inconsequential procedural foul.
