  1. Steelers will clinch, but report is that several on the roster got infected, could spread to more….

    No not covid, much worse, the drops. Hopefully they are healthy enough to continue soon.

  2. I will wait till week 17 to deduce the playoff contenders than rack my brain to figure out this powerball data analytics permutations and combinations

  3. Clinching this early is a sign of the Packers being a great team. It’s also a sign that the Vikings, Bears and Lions are terrible at football.

  4. Not probable, but I would love to see the Steelers slip from the top spot in the AFC North. The schedules for the Browns and Steelers certainly make it possible.

  5. Packers should clinch easily enough when they roll over the Lions and the Vikings choke like they always do.

  6. I’d rather read about crazy scenarios. Here’s one: The Pats can still win the division, but they need a lot to go their way. It starts with a win against the Rams coupled with a Dolphins loss to the Chiefs and a Bills loss to the Steelers. They need to beat the Dolphins next week and the Bills the week after. If all that miraculously falls into place they need to beat the Jets and have the Dolphins beat the Bills in Week 17. If all that happens the Pats win the division via tiebreakers.

  7. This season is a joke…..
    Whomever eventually makes it to the Super Bowl & wins it really proves NOTHING THIS YEAR…..it’s all a dog & pony show & because we, as sports fans, have little to no real choice but to watch it (because we all need SOMETHING to help us deal with this covid crap), we tell ourselves it’s real football when it really isn’t……but hey, I’m happy for the fans of teams that choose to believe it actually means something….at least they are getting a little relief during this bust of a year!!!

  8. Pats are on the edge. The Jets only needed to hold out for…. 1:30!?!?! to take the Raiders down a notch. What the… This week, lots of playoff teams are playing playoff teams so while at 15% chance, the Patriots aren’t quite done. They need to win out and get some help. Its happened before.

    so if the vikings are so terrible at football, how did they run all over the packers and beat them at Lambeau?
