tom's weird semi matchup based power rankings for wildcard is stupid. they aren't power rankings then, there's no way you got the texans ahead of anyone in the playoffs
Several analytics-centric NFL channels (Check the Mic, The Athletic as examples) agree that Broncos are weirdly well built to be a tough out for Buffalo. Like, as a specific strengths and weaknesses matchup
Eh... I've heard the logic about "The Broncos get QB pressure really well and you need pressure to slow down Allen"... but I think the more likely reality is that Allen evades pressure really well and that undercuts the Broncos defensive strength. The Bills aren't really a team where you can hurt them by taking away one guy (via Surtain) either.
As long as KC doesn't win the superbowl I'm fine. If my Bucs can't win, I'd love for either Lamar or Allen to get their first SB. Anyone but the freaking Chiefs
Considering the rams started 1-4 and then proceeded to go 9-2, beat the Vikings and Bills in that stretch, and even week 1 almost beat a healthy Lions team without their top 2 wideouts the majority of the game I can’t see how they rank outside the top 10.
They have inconsistent play. They play really well against good/great teams, then stifle against teams they should handily beat. They seem to play up or down to their competition and can easily be caught sleeping. With that being said, I actually have them upsetting the vikings on Sunday
@majorsynthqed7374 I just hope we get there at all I really believe if we do we'll find a way to win Josh will not go down without a fight especially on the biggest stage but I'd be happy just to FINALLY beat the Chiefs at the very least
I’d rather you guys win the AFC than the Ravens or Chiefs. If it’s not you, I’d want it to be the Chargers. If eagles don’t win in NFC, a lions bills matchup would be lovely
When it comes to the AFC, after countless of years, I really don’t trust the Bills, Ravens, or Broncos to beat the Chiefs, maybe the Chargers but that’s it.
I think the Ravens defensive improvements are a little bit of fools gold. Look at the teams they've played in the last 7 games. With the exception of the Eagles (who beat them) they are all pretty bad offenses. The Texans game was right after they lost Tank Dell, and the Texans have been putrid offensively since losing him.
@ it’s true. They also didn’t lose to the giants or the titans. Not really sure why we’re just stating facts but as long as you’re enjoying yourself, that’s cool.
Eagles fans are the worst and they continue to prove it. It’ll be glorious when they choke in the playoffs again. Edit: none of these mid west teams hold a candle to how awful eagles fans are. Nice try though.
@@Umega101 I'm a Bears fan and I agree with jerms. I have plenty of friends who live in Philadelphia and they are insufferable. They talked so much crap up until they were bounced by the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Then it was crickets. It was beautiful. Then the next season started and it happened all over again. Then they were destroyed by the Bucs. It couldn't have been a better way to end the season.
Bucs beat your 1, 8, and 4 on this list all with depleted defense... youre underestimating a team thats 6-1 coming into the play offs... the packers are lucky, washington has on beat 1 winning team all year. Theres no real logic in this
Ever heard the phrase any given Sunday? If the bucs played the lions right now they’d likely lose. No one cares they beat the lions 16 weeks ago. That was 16 weeks ago. They need to beat better teams than them in the future. And considering how they’ve preformed all season, they’ve got a rough road ahead of them
6-1 with the easiest schedule over those 7 games and it came down to the wire against the Panthers (in the first game) and the Saints. I still think they’re better than the commanders but there are plenty of reasons to doubt them.
Well the rumor is Bengals purposely lost 8 games to not make playoffs so that they don't have to face Mahomes.
Too True!!
They also paid the refs to call against them in Baltimore
@@hierophantics4876 It's amazing how the refs seem to have it out for the Bungles eh? 8 games lost because of the refs.
You're so right, Cincy losing to Philly by 20 points was clearly a result of one bad call
@hierophantics4876 looks like we got a Philly looser with no semse of humor... again...
8:30 Power rankings =/= Matchup Rankings
Duwhat??
As a non American power rankings in the playoffs don't make much sense to me. Surely you just pick the winner of each game at this point.

Broncos strengths are generally well suited to playoff football they could be a tough out
The Perna Wheel of Victory guarantees a Vikings win

We got way more of a chance than either of them will give us. 🦆🏴☠️
3peat!! Bucs one and done
Get ready to be not fine.
Damn it rules being a Chiefs fan
Dude, do your tears ONLY come in Salty, or do you have other flavors?...

If Josh Allen is Superman, the chiefs D is his kryptonite. Gooooo! Chiefs.
Perna done gone insane with the hopium
Does anyone else think we have a great playoff schedule?
Anyone who doesn’t is a Scrooge 😊
Texans above Broncos is criminal

Can’t curse a team that’s already cursed…
two negatives = a positive
lol I didn’t comment this but I was slightly thinking it lol
Perna killed the graphic and not in a good way😂
Yeah no one respects my team enough! BUFFALO ALL THE WAY THIS TIME! (Except Perna w/o the lions and chiefs included lol)
Buffalo lost all four of their Super Bowls to NFCE teams. Better hope the Eagles don't get there.

@goofygoober7617 completely agreed I'd love any of those combinations and even Bills vs Vikings would be pretty cool although unlikely
I think you guys respect the bills too much.
When it comes to the AFC, after countless of years, I really don’t trust the Bills, Ravens, or Broncos to beat the Chiefs, maybe the Chargers but that’s it.
What in the world is the commanders logo? 😂
It's a map of D.C.
@jaredwilson9979 ohhh lol
Eagles by 10+
Yup, that sounds like Eagles fans...
Perna should be bowing down and kissing Andy Reid for letting in the playoffs
If you ask Brandon Perna to respect your team then you don't watch his content.

Steelers are 🐐
Broncos are 1-7 against teams over 500.
And how are the Packers against teams over .500?
@@Zieg_Gamesnot great, but better than the broncos lol… not really sure how it’s relevant though
@ The Broncos didn’t lose to the Bears

@@Zieg_Games well well well the ass clown himself
As an eagles fan... Keep the disrespect coming... We love destroying the narrative.
Respectfully, ya'll are trash lmfao. But you'll beat the Packers because they're more trash
Eagles fans are the worst and they continue to prove it. It’ll be glorious when they choke in the playoffs again.

So, are you are cowboys, niners, or what fan....?
Eagles fans can be bad but I'd take them over Dallas every day of the year

Don't have to be a division rival to see that eagles fans are the worst in the league, just a hair worse than cowboy fans.
Plus, the Cowboys suck this year. And Cowboys fans (at least the ones that I talk to) know it.
I hope the Packers beat that philthy ass, and it would be funny af if the Broncos beat the Bills.
No tom screw the packers the world wants a lions eagles nfc championship
Wipe your lip glazer
Uhh no
@DSPHistoricalSociety why not?
@DanCampbellGlazer we never get anything good... plus GO PACK GO
@@DSPHistoricalSociety Packers fans are insufferable they don't deserve anything
Packers aren't winning shit lmfao, so delusional
Tom is being delusional, Eagles win without a doubt. Alexander is out, Watson is out, and Love blows.
Lamar is not better than Jalen hurts... One has been to the superbowl and one hasn't. Period.
