Mid-Season Super Bowl/Sleeper Predictions

Alright so we've seen a decent amount of games so far this year.  Where are you at with your Super Bowl predictions?

 

I was thinking Broncos v. Packers at season's beginning.  

 

Right now, I'm thinking there is a team a piece in each conference that will make a leap come playoff time.

 

I also think the Lions and Bengals can go deep into the playoffs this year.  

 

My current guess is a Patriots-Lions Super Bowl (And it's not just because of Calvin's big game)

No way the Lions can sneak past all of the Hawks, Niners, Saints, and Pack in the playoffs.

 

Pats are never a bad pick, but even though I really didn't wanna buy into the Denver hype at the beginning of the season, they look invincible right now. And then of course, the Chiefs have found a way to win every single game so far with Alex Smith at QB, so they have to be in the talks too.

I think they beat the Pack in 4 weeks and take the division.  They've got a fairly lite schedule.

Denver & KC still have 2 games between them.

 

KC still plays the Bolts twice and COLTS.  COLTS have proven to be giant killers!  (They love to beat undefeated teams!)

 

Denver plays KC twice and at New England yet to come.

 

COLTS play the Texans & Titans twice + KC + the Bengals!  (I can see 2 more loses in there.)

 

IF the Colts WR's step up in Reggie's absence, I can see the COLTS going deep into the Playoffs. 

 

I could actually see the Bengals making it to the Super Bowl.

 

However, my pick for the Super Bowl is:

 

Denver vs New Orleans.  (Peyton Manning gets his revenge on the Saints! 38 - 21)

With Jake Locker back way earlier than previously thought, Tennessee has sleeper potential in the AFC (non-homer version). As for the Bolts, we're holding a lot of stuff together with duct tape, but if the staff continues to coach it's ass off, it might just hold.

The AFC is a complete crap shoot (the 5 seed hosting the AFCCG would not surprise me one bit), but right now I'd take Cincy.

 

As far as the NFC goes, people are fixated on SEA-SF and Green Bay is slipping under the radar. As they get healthier I think they may pass the Western teams and head to New York.

Saints v. Colts could be one that blindsides a few

 

I think the Saints-Broncos is the most likely match-up as things stand.  

 

In the NFC, you'd think someone between the Saints, Packers, Seahawks, and 49ers will make it (The Panthers and Lions are looking damn good too)

 

AFC, we're looking at the Colts, Patriots, Broncos, and a possible Bengal surge? Maybe the Chiefs slump in division games and the Bolts surpass them.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
