NFC:
1) Green Bay
A bit of a nose in front with the ref's help in the COVIDIOT Bowl. But after this week's game with Carolina (in progress as I do these posts late this week), it gets much harder. Showdown with Philly on MNF, then Minnesota and Detroit.
2) Tampa Bay
Probably the most MAGA-palatable of the two-loss teams, as discussed before. And that definitely includes the race card on the quarterback, if you've been seeing a lot of the racist vitriol on social media.
From there, the rest of the two-loss teams are probably still in a bit of a mish-mash:
- Detroit would probably be the best "shoot" pick, but how much, barring a situation like last year, do they want to go to the well of a city like that?
- ... which see Philadelphia.
- Seattle is probably too much in that liberal northwest corner...
- There has been some talk that the Rams might be getting pushed, but I'd have to think that's to lose, if it was...
AFC:
1) Indianapolis
As long as the AFC's road goes through Indy, they're #1 on this list in that regard. I get that there might be people who might be thinking somebody else (see below), but Indy still checks probably even more boxes than them, and it keeps the situation from going TOO crazy.
Yet.
2) New England
There is no basic explanation otherwise as to how these guys are 6-2. Especially with MAGAs calling themselves "Patriots", is the NFL considering getting on THAT bandwagon, especially if the Orange Pustule shows up in San Francisco and Santa Clara in February?
3) Kansas City
I could probably have put "today's Buffalo-KC winner" in this slot and save time. But it DOES appear that the referees may be donning their RED and white stripes again. UGH.
