If I’m going for a slight outsider in each conference (not KC PHI SF), then I’d go Ravens and Cowboys.

Ravens look great on all fronts and all the other AFC teams look worse than you’d expect. I still don’t think they’ll be able to play from behind with that offense/ Lamar but the defense might be able to stop that happening.

Cowboys defense just has something special. There’s so many playmakers that I could easily see them beating “better” teams. They played well against the Eagles and Purdy doesn’t look as good now he’s lost a few.

If I’m just making a prediction then it’s a repeat of last year. KC and PHI are so far clear of everyone else.

Bengals. Franchise QB and WR.

Every non top 5 team in the league would trade their drafts for that.

Arthur Smith clearly struggles with talent and you can see it across the board.

He can’t get anything out of Pitts, London and Bijan. Imagine what McVay, McDaniel, Shanahan could cook up with those three.

Run Bijan properly and then actually use him as a decoy in play action. Using him as a decoy every play without ever actually using him in the way you’re “faking” is just ridiculous.

Smith talks about his 50% RZ conversion but that’s be higher if times worried about Bijan. Then your TE end around might actually work.
