Here's Dallas, for my favorite bovine friend. Somehow, it's easier to cut CeeDee than it is to cut Dak.

Ravens. New HC Jesse Minter could trade Lamar to the Browns for Myles Garrett, since he's a defensive coach! Get the best defensive player in the league!
January 23, 2026 at 10:50 PM
Here's Eagles. Cutting AJ Brown might not be the best idea!
January 23, 2026 at 8:10 PM
Here's Bears! I don't recommend cutting DJ Moore!

You should definitely cut Sexy Dexy for the $20M in post-June 1st savings.

Chiefs can pick him up. Somehow.
January 23, 2026 at 7:26 PM
The Chiefs are currently $62.4M over the cap heading into free agency. That means they will need to do a great deal of work just to get back to compliance.

Here are the biggest cap hits, and how much money they can free up on those contracts.

NFC Weekly Seeding!

Seahawks end up with the top seed, despite being a wildcard team most of the season.

The Panthers go from the #16 seed in week 1, never being a top 7 seed until week 16, and finally win their division and the #4 seed.

Bears go from #15 seed in week 2 all the way to #2 seed.

AFC Conference Standings!

Final bump chart of the year.

Broncos started at 5th, dropped to 9th, then stormed back up to take the top seed.

Colts started the season at 1, were mostly there through week 10, then dropped out of the playoffs entirely.

Texans spent the most weeks out of the playoffs.

Seeding Charts: NFC Edition

As everyone expected to start the season, the Chicago Bears are the current NFC 1 seed. They started from the bottom, now they're here. With a big game against division rival Packers coming up this week, they'll have to defend their spot immediately.

Seeding Charts: AFC Edition

Not many changes this week. The Colts and Jags switch places, as the Colts fall from 3rd to 6th. The Chiefs somehow maintained 10th place, despite their loss on Thanksgiving Day.

The Jets jumped from 15th to 13th!

Can Your Team Win The Super Bowl?

The Rams are the betting favorites for the Super Bowl, and by a lot. They are 6.3 percentage points higher than the Eagles at 2nd place.

Chiefs are 3rd most likely to win the Super Bowl, but will need help to even make the playoffs, as the 10 seed in the AFC.

NFC Playoff Seeding Charts!

The Rams are finally in sole possession of the 1 seed, after the Eagles lost to the Cowboys.

The Bears, who were the 15 seed after week 2, have somehow clawed their way to 3rd seed.

The Lions are currently out of the playoffs, for the second week in a row.

AFC Playoff Seeding Charts!

After 12 weeks, its like the AFC is back to the old 2014 Brady, Manning, Luck days, with NE, DEN, and IND all on top.

The Ravens just made a 6 seed jump, from 10 to 4, after beating the Steelers.

The Bills are the 7 seed, and the Chiefs are on the outside looking in.

NFC Conference Standings!

Two weeks ago, the Packers and Eagles were the 1st and 2nd ranked teams. They just played on MNF. The Eagles squeaked out a 10-7 victory to maintain their top seeding.

The Lions have been all over the place, but jumped up to 3rd after a decisive win over the Commanders.

AFC Conference Standings!

Colts have maintained a strangle-hold on the #1 seed, despite some recent struggles.
The Broncos have clawed their way up to 2nd.
The Chiefs--who are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl--are 8th.
The Titans have been the most consistently ranked team.
November 11, 2025 at 11:12 PM
Here is how the odds for teams with greater than 5% SB probability have moved over time.

The Bills have fallen from grace, and hard.
The Chiefs took over that spot in a big way, then tanked due to Chiefs loss vs Bills.
The Rams have steadily climbed week after week until now they're second.

Can Your Team Win the Super Bowl?

The Chiefs--who got spanked by the Bills in week 9, went on bye, and are currently ranked 8th in the AFC, thus not in the playoffs--are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl.

The aforementioned Bills have the 7th best odds.

This has been a weird season...

I almost died reading this part. Laughed so hard I choked.

😂 🤣

Chiefs have an opportunity to double-dip this week, for the 4th time this season.
November 2, 2025 at 11:05 PM
It's KC @ BUF!!!

These two teams are ranked very similarly. On O and D, KC edges BUF out on overall EPA, but it's close. Both D's struggle against the run. KC has best success rate overall and passing. BUF has significant edge at creating explosives plays, while KC has been better at limiting them.

Chiefs @ Bills Injury Report:

Both teams missing starters. Chiefs LT Simmons is missing for the 4th straight game. His backup, Jaylon Moore, is questionable. RG Trey Smith is also questionable, so Chiefs OL pretty banged up right now.

Bills missing a couple major pieces on defense, plus Palmer.
October 31, 2025 at 8:58 PM
Defense!

Hicks with a major resurgence in snaps!! Where'd that come from?!
Cook continues to be replaced on random drives by CRW.
Nohl with 3(?) meaningful snaps.
Jerry Tillery got a ton of work on MNF.
October 29, 2025 at 9:04 PM
Pillboxes! WAS @ KC

KC used 7 OL on Hunt's first 4th down conversion.
Pacheco with only one down that wasn't 1st or 2nd.
I think B.Smith had his lowest ration of snaps to touches this game.
Rice and Worthy both with completely full workloads.
Thornton is basically completely phased out.

Forgive me linking the bad place.

NFC Seeding Chart!

The Packers remain atop the standings, while the 49ers have finally fallen (from 2nd to 7th).

Bakers Bucs rise to 3rd place this week, after from 1st to 4th last week.

Those Darn(old) Seahawks continue to stick around, climbing to their highest seed of the season at 4th.
