What's YOUR Honest Playoff Bracket?

[Richard Noggin]

Using dumb ESPN's playoff simulator, I ran through the last five weeks of the season without thinking too much, just picking each game as objectively as I could. Here was the result (only took me a couple minutes):

 

 

I hate it a lot, tbh. So many bad matchups for the Bills. 

 

In my simulation, for what it's worth, the Bills lose the next two and then win the last three. I really hope that isn't what actually transpires, but going 3-2 the rest of the way IS reasonable. Could also see arguments for going 4-1, which would have interesting ramifications. for the rest of the AFC. 

 

What bracket do YOU come up with after picking the last five weeks of the season? (I tried not to think about any future implications when picking. And I tried to apply an ugly level of objectivity.)

Geez!! Interesting!

 

I like the bracket you came up with. KC could beat New England, and we'd get the home game, and Los Angeles probably will beat Jax, another home game if we played them.

 

I don't mind this at all. Though it'd be a ton better if we won the division, of course.

 

I wouldn't like playing Cincy away, but if we lose the division it's not that bad out of all the other possible results.

 

And - admitting that it's still way early to try this exercise - I don't think I'd have many differences.

Think that’s a reasonable outcome and not a bad one where we slot. 
 

Do flip Denver and New England for me personally. The Broncos have played some hit or miss football and have been escaping losses. Their remaining schedule isn’t as easy as the Pats.

Noggin, first I always enjoy your posts.  With that said, the Bucs (my second home, but Buffalo is always in my heart) are 7-5.

 

They face the Saints, Falcons and Panthers.  Which of these three teams, which two do you think are goi g to beat the Bucs.  They are going for their 6th NFCS division winner.  They just had Irving and Godwin returned for the Crds game.  That will make them appreciably better.  You have them at 10-7, and I’m stating they probably go 11-6 to 12-5.

 

Your other standings for each team seem reasonable.  I see the Bills at 11-6 if they have nothing to play for in the last game.  The Pats may beat us, but I believe we beat the Eagles, Jet’s, and Browns.

 

Looks like you had fun with it so good for you.
