I'm starting to think that it's Baltimore's year. I do think that their win over a Dolphins team with some key injuries could be a bit overhyped though.

AFC will be a tougher road. Ravens could easily have to beat Buffalo, Cleveland, and Miami (or any two of those and Kansas City) to get to the Super Bowl. If not Baltimore, give me Buffalo, even though they won't have a bye.

San Francisco probably comes out of the NFC, but they're closer to another Purdy egg or key injury from going out in their opener than people may think. I don't think that they're built to play from behind either.

Philadelphia has some things to figure out-- they could win it all or go out immediately and no one could act too surprised. I still think they're my 2 in the NFC though.

Cooling on Detroit now that they have everyone's attention, but they're locked into a seed that avoids San Francisco and they matchup well with Dallas. Still, Goff has never been great against a pass rush that can get home and they're young overall.

Dak seems like a good guy that has survived a pressure cooker, but he's a player with very visible limits. He's also playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe they go a game deeper this year, but I think we get the same ending.

Rams are my upset special but looks like they're going to have a terrible seed. That isn't a good thing in the long term for a team with a shaky kicker.
