You’re right. Bengals at home then at jets.
And outside the chiefs game everything is winnable though i doubt they run the table like that. They’re not that good a team and will probably drop a couple. 9-7 most likely. 10-6 is optimistic.
7-4
Bengals first, then Jest. Aside from KC they can legitimately win out. Assuming they lose @ KC and @ LAC both, they still go 10-6 and get the wild card for sure.

Crofl at Rivers on that last drive
1min left, all 3 timeouts and all you need is a field goal. Checkdown to the best pass catching RB in the league and they're kicking for a W with about 15 seconds left.
Max has been a baller all year. Ferrell had been a big nothing. Good to see them both ball out. We almost got out of this with no injuries until Joyner, not that he’s played up to the money he’s getting
...but will 9-7 get them to the promised land? That is the question. The AFC is definitely the inferior conference, but there will likely be multiples at 9-7 tied up for that 6th place, if no other team besides Buffalo (their schedule is way too easy to not make it in) gets 10+ wins.
Good to see Karl get b2b game ending plays too tbh.
& they were awfully close to trading him to the Cowboys for a 3rd round pick in the offseason. Wish it would have happened. We'd give you Jeff Heath too as a pot sweetener.
Good question. One i don’t have answer to. We hold tiebreaker against the colts, and have h2h matchups with jaguars and ans which will be huge
Yep. I also liked Mullen. Thought a couple of his flags were pretty ticky tack tbh. Glad to see him sticking his nose in there and competing
OL looked rusty. Both brown and Hudson were too hurt to play just 4 days ago so there’s no way they were 100%.
10 day mini bye is nice. Get Jacobs some rest too

yep, that's what happens when you have generations of fans without a local team that have grown up rooting for someone else. Atleast the Rams have a history with LA while the Chargers have none And as far as I know, the NFL did nothing to "test the waters" so to speak like they are by playing in Mexico City and London. They just showed up on Day 1 and expected fans to be ready.
Speaking of, I wonder if there will be a similar situation in Vegas when the Raiders go there? Definitely not to that extent due to the much larger Raiders fanbase, but how does the NFL expect something similar to not happen? Is there already a large fanbase out there?

Theres such a massive amount of tourist in town every weekend the games will be well attended.
technically they were the LA chargers for the first year of their existence in 1960
But will there be a home field advantage for the Raiders there or will it be a free for all like the London or Mexican games?
and who is honestly alive today that remembers that team? lol pre-historic pre-super bowl era.
will probably be more of a mixed bag early on, but they should be fine. raiders fans on the west coast travel well. we always had a home field advantage against the chargers at qualcomm, too. look at how Vegas embraced the Knights in hockey. they'll be fine with the raiders
well yeah i dont think there will be issue filling the stadium, just wondering if it will be a similar embarrassment as the Chargers are having where there's no HFA
I think they should represent well, there are plenty of raiders fans even as far east in Texas, though not surprised the 49ers won Texas because of that sea of red Week 1 2014. Surprised OK went for the Steelers over the Cowboys. And Giants in CA? That's not possible, it has to be the Cowboys, might be the Raiders starting next year though.
there's a couple more on that map that make it look silly, tbh. There's no way the Tampa Yuccaneers is an out of state favorite for anybody. Michigan would definitely be the Steelers or Packers, Nebraska for the Cowboys. And no way Jacksonville is the favorite team in Montana or Minnesota. And North Dakota would definitely be the Eagles, not the Chargers. Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont would all be diehard for the Patriots (I've spent time up there). That map is garbage
yeah I saw that earlier, I honestly had no idea.
that chart is random as , especially those Northern Plain states... didn't realize the Chargers, Dolphins, and Jaguars were so popular in the Dakotas and Minnesota/Montana. I figured Green Bay, Chicago or Pittsburgh would dominate those states
That map is completely bogus, that's what it is.
I believe the Raiders in Nevada, and a few others (Giants in Florida makes sense because of all the NYC expats), but most of those are hot garbage and completely made up to be "inclusive" or whatever. Those Florida teams don't really have a significant national fanbase, they struggle to fill their own home stadiums after all ... and there's no way in the NY Giants have more fans in California than the Cowboys.
Yeah I also question the validity of that map. Most of Mississippi and Alabama are Saints fans. I've never heard of a Mississippi ans fan in my life.
Yes, MS, AL maybe even GA should be Saints. LA should be Cowboys.
WY, UT are definitely Broncos territory. ND loves the Eagles because of Wentz. The entire northeast north and east of MA loves the Patriots. Etc
