Out of that list and looking at prices I'd go with Colts, Eagles, & Giants. A mature Luck, a more experienced Chip Kelly offense, the Giants are due to run hot and make a Super Bowl again.

Niners and Eagles are nice. I see that as a real possibility for this years NFC Championship.
Bengals? Call me when Dalton wins a playoff game. Chiefs would beat the Bengals 4 times out of 5 in a playoff atmosphere and should make your top 3 if you're looking for an AFC sleeper.Comment -
Chiefs won't sniff 9 wins this yearComment -
The Eagles were actually bad last year it's just Chip ran up the score against bad defenses like the Raiders and Bears just like he did in college.Comment -
10-6 and playoffs for a rookie NFL coach is bad?Originally posted by ChiLLxComment -

You must not have watched the game. Saints had 200 more yards and dominated time of possession. Totally kicked around Chip.Originally posted by STAXcluelessComment -

actually think this is a better idea,maybe go chargers houston as long shotsOriginally posted by STAXComment -
My long shot will be Cleveland for sure... if there is one guy who could take a shitty team to the Super Bowl as a rookie QB its Johnny Football. Im not sold on him by any means, but if something is ever gonna happen like that, this is the year. Cleveland's defense is very very good... and the AFC, outside of Denver, is completly up in the air. I think the only team in the AFC you can pencil in the playoffs is Denver and maybe New England. Other than that its a crapshoot.Comment -
Would bet my left nut that the Eagles don't win.Comment -
here is ur Super Bowl 2014 - NFC - Seattle only and NFC - INDY , BALTIMORE , CINCI !!Comment -
and SEATTLE will win again !!Comment -
Everyone sleeping on New Orleans .. They have a very good shot at homefield throughout the playoffs. We all know how they play in the dome.. WHO DAT !Comment -
Most ignorant post ive read. They picked up Peppers to play OLB in the offseason and if Mathew stays healthy they will be top 7 defense in the league, EASY.Originally posted by slacker00Comment -
Look at the schedule now. They are going to get wrecked barring a miracle.Originally posted by STAXComment -
Cleveland no pray.
0% chance.Comment -
i am considering Packers too.
Peppers is a great pass rusher when he wants to be.
anybody seen a list
of "to make the playoffs" future bets?Comment -
An old Julius peppers is the Packers savior? He was a ghost last season.Comment -
my god this forum is so stupid when it comes to football. AFC is not wide open Denver and NE were clearly the best 2 teams in that conference last year and o yea they both improved. Philly has no shot that d has no shot. GB's d is horrendous as well, Peppers is not that good like you guys want to believe and their secondary is still weak. Seattle and San Fran are the class of the NFC this year and will still be, but i do think NO could come in and steal it.

Broncos and Patriots on the AFC.
Seahawks, 49ers and Saints on the NFC.Comment -
IF Teddy plays like how he did at Louisville with their coaching staff they could steal a playoff spot. Team is young tho, pick them in 2 years.Originally posted by flaflaflooeyComment -
Peppers is done, he isn't a good fit and he's old. Matthews can't do everything, he can barely stay healthy.Originally posted by KiDBaZkiTComment -
I don't think Denver is making the Super Bowl, and outside of Oakland, I would not be totally surprised to see any of the other AFC teams in the playoffs (including Jacksonville). So yeah, I feel the AFC is wide open. It is Denver's to lose, but the rest of the conference is up for grabs. I'd rate Denver as a pretty clear #1 team in the AFC, but after that you have Colts, Chargers, Pats, Bengals, Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs, and Texans all ranked very close to each other. That's 8 teams right there. And I think Browns, Bills, and Jets are all much improved. Only teams I don't like are Raiders, Jags, and Dolphins. I think 11 teams are fighting for 5 spots, and once you make the playoffs, anything can happen. We've seen 5 and 6 seeds win it all, we see teams that finish last one year, finish first in the division the next. It happens every year. And with a one game playoff format, the best team doesn't always win.
People don't realize how much variance is a factor in the NFL regular season. Its a 16 game season, that's all. 25 out of the 32 NFL teams are a bad call, a bad bounce, and a bad game away from being 6-10 or 10-6. Injuries play such a large factor when it comes to a team's success or failure. 16 games is nothing...Comment -
why does everyone think the 49ers have a chance?Originally posted by SharpAngles
i could honestly see them missing the playoffs this year with how improved the Arizona Cardinals are... hell even st louis rams should be better. Who knows if they will have a home field advantage in that new stadium either..??
Kaepernick is a fraud and the 49ers pass defense can be beat.
i like the Packers, Seahawks, Saints, and Falcons chances to win the NFC over the 49ers..Comment -
I could see the 49ers missing the playoffs, but only because that division is so stacked. Put the 49ers in the NFC North and they clinch the division before thanksgiving. But in the NFC West, I can see them finishing last at 9-7 if the division games bounce bad. Otherwise, I'm not buying the "Kaep is a fraud" noise, the kid is electric when he's on and he's got a lot of playoff wins under his belt. I do wonder how the 49ers will handle depth issues with the Aldon problems and Bowman likely missing most of the season, but if there's one team in the NFL that can handle playing without such stellar talent on the field, it's the 49ers. Unfortunately, in that division, there is no room for error now.Originally posted by Big BearComment -
The fact is this. Green Bay, San Francisco, and Seattle are better than any AFC team at this point in the year. The best fade on the board is Denver. Manning is headed downhill in a hurry, as proven in last years Superbowl. He will NOT repeat last year's performance, and without that, Denver is finished. New England will NOT win another Superbowl, but may get there. Indy is the best bet to win the AFC and get to the Super Bowl because they have the most reasonable odds.Comment -
49ers we re best team in the NFL last year, Seattle was a close second... Denver a distant 3rd. Best team doesn't always win. But with how the NFL is, I wouldn't be totally shocked if San Fran missed the playoffs. Everyone's Super Bowl last year in the preseason was the Texans and the Falcons. Not sure if they won 6 games combined. It would be more shocking to see San Fran have a year like that this year, but it isn't out the realm of possibility. With that said I think Arizona and St. Louis are both overrated... I don't think either has over 8 wins.Comment -
hahahahahahaha. your right 1 game and ur going down hill. well shit i guess everyone is going downhill.Originally posted by BigdaddyQHComment -
SF & SEA are the gold standard. After that is the Saints. GB is down the list behind DEN and NE.Originally posted by BigdaddyQH
I don't see a sharp decline from DEN, they were never that good. I see another 10+ wins and quick playoff exit.Comment -
my odds/current odds
Killing itOriginally posted by STAXComment -
Totally, stupid bet! You are betting 1k on 12 teams who most don't have a chance at winning the Super Bowl , not about the playoffs. Only a handful have a chance and your ROI isn't worth it. Plus you tie up your money. Better off picking 2 or 3 teams if you want to bet for shits and giggles. If SF,Ne or Denver win you lose money. NE and Denver most likely will be there at the end.Originally posted by STAXComment -
