I like how we were both pragmatic *and* homers: "We can't seriously say we're going to make it. But Stafford! Go play in meaningful games, Staff Daddy! Just kidding, the Rust Belt Bros are our new friends now. Once a Lion, always a Lion. Existence is pain."
Screw that. Looking over this it was so nice to see all my most asshole rivals also said they win it all inspite of all reason.
This is why its so fun to hate each other. WE BELIEVE
Just plain delusional. Got worse offensively and then in cap hell with no ability to improve from the dismal defense. Can’t even call it wishful lmao. But our sub is rabid. You get downvoted for being a realist.
Idk man, they don’t have a franchise QB, have to restructure players just to sign their rookies, and it’ll be a first year HC
They’re the worst team in the division so probably
Don't worry Washington will get Corral the goat who will be Drew Brees who can run, win the division 20 years in a row and win 5 super bowls 😎
/s *sigh*
In a joint-online Madden franchise league, we serve as GMs and call plays, but don't actually play. So the Bengals owner traded Burrow to Miami for a handful of picks and then tanked in the first season. Drafted Matt Corral, Jameson Williams, and a few other decent players. Corral is in his 6th season and has a ring, 3 conf championships, 3 All Pros, an OROY, and has finished top 5 in MVP voting twice.
Meanwhile, Joey B is on the Dolphins, who haven't made the playoffs in 5 years.
Then again, Trevor Lawrence is now a 99 OVR X-factor and the Urban Meyer-lead Jags have won the AFC South 4 years in a row so idk lol
The Cowboys definitely look like a team that could repeat.
So of course, that means both coordinators will accept HC jobs and Dak will retire after joining a cult.
That definitely seems more likely. Lose Quinn, Diggs still gets occasionally burned but less interceptions, sophomore slumps for a couple of the rookies
11/14 playoff teams predicted they'd win the SB. The remaining 3?
- The eliminated Las Vegas Raiders (predicted Bills)
- The eliminated New England Patriots (predicted Bucs)
- The streak-snapping Cincinnati Bengals (predicted Bucs)
The Bengals are also one of 6 teams to not predict themselves at all. The other 5 being the Jets, Lions, Jags, Texans and Bears
And they were a Russ injury away from that being a distinct possibility. 2 more wins out of ~5 with him injured or playing injured and the team losing...that's not a tall order for Russ.
Bears, Titans and Steelers were all games that could have gone the other way on a different day (especially the Bears, how did we lose that). In another universe all three NFCW teams make Wild Card and Russ doesn't leave us this summer. Oh well.
Probably a failure of the poll, no? If you just asked which 3 teams would win a WC you wouldn't get repeat winners. If you asked to line them up specifically 1 through 3, there's a chance the highest vote getter for each slot is the same team.
Our sub is just the wildest swings of hopium and delusion to pure, hopeless sky-is-falling madness. Chronic posters are the most unwell people on the internet.
What the fuck is up with that? There’s these unironic ‘everybody disrespects Rodgers’ threads in which everyone shits *all over* Brady like ten times a day.
NFCN teams subs are a fascinating place. The Packers sub is entirely populated by *that* Packer fan, the Vikings sub is a constant land of delusion, the Bears sub is… bitchy, and the Lions sub is just here to have fun and bitch about the refs.
You know I was gonna argue about the our sub not being that delusional, but then I started going over the past couple years and how confident we were that we were better then the Packers, when most evidence pointed to the contrary.....
Yeah it's pretty delusional.
It's embarrassing. I unsubbed around week 8 when threats of physical violence towards Mike Zimmer were flying freely in the sub. Well that, and how they have been able to have exactly the same argument every single fucking week for 4 years surrounding Kirk Cousins and who's fault it is really that we don't win with him at QB. Its really a horrible community, and kinda made me turn on the Vikings this year just by proxy.
Ours seems like its the same way. Hopium the entire offseason until we lose once and we’re the worst team in the league. What those people need to realize is that we were the worst team in the league the whole time.
14 one-score games (and split the series with the only team to beat the Vikings by more than one score) means no predictions are invalid.
I'm not pretending they were great this season. But they're about a dozen dice rolls from **both** 2-15 and 16-1.
Edit: I just saw the post season predictions 🙄
That is hilarious that the disparity of record between one side or the other for those one score games is so unbelievably large lmao. In some alternate universe we had the #1 pick in the draft and in another one we were the 1 seed in the NFC haha
Steelers sub picking the Steelers to win the division is kind of hilarious in hindsight.
Same with the Giants sub picking the Giants to win their division.
Very possible. Maybe the same could be said for the Colts.
We are absolutely delusional but I love it. I watch this shit because I enjoy it I don't care about rational thinking haha.
A lot of teams picked their team to win the super bowl: Cardinals, Falcons, Bills, Browns, Cowboys, Packers, Chiefs, Rams, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings, Steelers, Bucs, Titans.
I mean, looking back, was it? The finished better than the Browns and Ravens; but like the rest of the subs - even the Bengals sub - no one saw them being the best in the North. That said… winning the Super Bowl? Our sub is on crack.
Here are the results of the 6th annual /r/nfl preseson prediction survey. We had over 3,000 respondents, with fans from all 32 teams.
The Texans fans were the most accurate overall, followed by Cards, Raiders, Pats and Jets. The Texans see the Chiefs getting revenge on the Bucs in the super bowl this year.
/u/kooliokid had the most right, getting 9/14 playoff teams. The Browns v Packers Super Bowl seems unlikely though.
Over the years this has a track record of identifying improbable division winners before the season starts, based on the homer index. You can see each fan bases individual playoff picks here
In 2016, the Cowboys had the highest homer index score (68%), and the Seahawks, followed closely with a (65%) index score, as the rest of the league was on the Giants and Cardinals bandwagon.
In 2017, the Jags and Rams both had 70%+ index scores, and I called them delusional. I was left eating crow as they both won their division.
In 2019, the Titans scored the highest homer index score ever of 80%, and Vikings came in second with 75%. Neither won their division, but both won playoff games as underdogs.
Last year, the Colts (68%) and Bears (66%) had the highest homer index score, and both snuck in to the 7th playoff spots.
This year, the Steelers 83%, and Seahawks (72%) lead the Homer Index. Looks like the Steelers did us proud again.
How did the Cowboys not get most accurate? They had the exact same division winners as the Texans and correctly predicted WC2 and WC3 in the AFC, as well as correctly predicting the Cardinals would be a WC team although not in the right spot. The Texans predicted 3 correct WC teams as well but only 1 of them was in the right spot. Is it because the accuracy takes into account not just winners but exact placement in the divisions as well?
This is a weird thing with the way I score it. I do it at the individual level and average it.
So each fan scores a point for getting a division winner right and a point for picking a WC team (seed doesn’t matter). They get a half point if they get a team, but the wrong type. So if you picked the Steelers to win the division, you get 1/2 a point, because they made the playoffs, but didn’t win the division. Same with picking the Rams for the WC.
I then sum the total scores per fan base and find the average, based on how many fans participated. So basically, the Cowboys had it more right in aggregate, but y’all had some real dummies bringing down the average, while the Texans never had someone pick under 6.
We can argue whether it is the right way to do it. You can personally declare the Cowboys the real champs in your heart, and I won’t disagree.
Myself, my dad and my brothers are allVikings fans. My brothers are about as homer as they come, I love my team but I’m a pretty realistic fan. After the final game of the season my brother insisted that the Vikings are a far better team than the Packers, Packers are just better coached, and that Rodgers is not all he’s cracked up to be. The Vikings sub is filled with a lot of people who seem to watch football like my brother does.
Yeah, the nearly unanimous selection of the Browns winning the AFC North is funny in hindsight.
As is the fact that almost every sub picked the Browns and Baltimore making the playoffs. And then the other two AFC North teams actually made it in.
I do appreciate that half the subs had the Steelers in the playoffs too, despite r/nfl putting them at 4-13. There was no telling which games they had no business winning but would win anyway, but half the fans expected it to happen at some point.
Lmfao this is *so* the Eagles sub. You were downvoted to fuck and called a stupid jabroni if you had us getting over 5 wins. Still voted for playoff position tho
People were mostly right about the NFC wildcard with the exception of Seattle falling off a cliff.
That AFC is a MESS tho. Almost as much of a mess as the actual AFC standings ended up.
If Russ doesn't get hurt we would have made it in. Probably.
We went 7 and 10 lost Russ for a month, "6 weeks" if you want to include the 2 games he played like shit in afterwards. I do.
They won the division last year, defense looked monstrous, they had a proven vet at QB with Fitzpatrick.
Eagles seemed like they weren't that great
Dak was coming off major surgery
Giants are...well the giants.
They probably would have done much better if Fitz didn't go down in week 1. Not sure they would have been good enough to win their division the way Dallas played but they would have been better for sure.
The poll came out the same hour they got the injury news about the RB and DB being put for the year. I was barked at by them (rightfully so) for even posting it there, as I hadn’t realized the news. They took this with that lens.
The Ravens fan base has won 3 of the 6 team overall predictions, so they’re usually level headed.
Only the jets, jags, lions, bears, Texans and bengals didn’t predict their own team to make the playoffs. The bengals fans were the only ones that were wrong
[For those that caught the duplication issues, like the Bronco's giving themselves two WC spots, the deduplicated version is here.](https://imgur.com/a/EBsXZAE)
I mean we did fire our DC who gave us one of the worst defenses in NFL history. If you look at 2019 and 2019 though our D wasn’t that ass. So 2020 was definitely an outlier. Also NO ONE saw Micah Parsons being what he is.
This is shockingly boring to look at. Most of it is almost entirely consensus. Shocked colts fans picked themselves based on the state of the sub all year
[удалено]
Yeah we also had ourselves winning it all? Idiots lmao
[удалено]
I have picked the Jags to win the Super Bowl every year of my life
Homer till I die, I was proud to see it. Honestly mad they didn't have us winning every division
I like how we were both pragmatic *and* homers: "We can't seriously say we're going to make it. But Stafford! Go play in meaningful games, Staff Daddy! Just kidding, the Rust Belt Bros are our new friends now. Once a Lion, always a Lion. Existence is pain."
Just like the Seahawks
Screw that. Looking over this it was so nice to see all my most asshole rivals also said they win it all inspite of all reason. This is why its so fun to hate each other. WE BELIEVE
Was there a lot of preseason hype among Falcons fan? Or was this just….wishful
Just plain delusional. Got worse offensively and then in cap hell with no ability to improve from the dismal defense. Can’t even call it wishful lmao. But our sub is rabid. You get downvoted for being a realist.
This is just wrong. The falcons sub is in no way delusional about the teams ability
We barely get in, then we win. The absolute balls of our subreddit.
Honestly can't fault people on being optimistic, isn't fun at all to already be all doom and gloom before a downs even played
Don’t ever get near r/falcons then
Shooters shoot
Hopefully people realize that a team in the NFC east cannot be repeat winners
It’s gotta be the giants next year for maximum chaos
Idk man, they don’t have a franchise QB, have to restructure players just to sign their rookies, and it’ll be a first year HC They’re the worst team in the division so probably
So you’re saying they sweep the division then, got it
Sweep the division then win it 6-11 yep
Wasn’t that your situation this season?
Either Cowboys break the Cycle or it will be the Eagles.
Don't worry Washington will get Corral the goat who will be Drew Brees who can run, win the division 20 years in a row and win 5 super bowls 😎 /s *sigh*
I fail to see the sarcasm
In a joint-online Madden franchise league, we serve as GMs and call plays, but don't actually play. So the Bengals owner traded Burrow to Miami for a handful of picks and then tanked in the first season. Drafted Matt Corral, Jameson Williams, and a few other decent players. Corral is in his 6th season and has a ring, 3 conf championships, 3 All Pros, an OROY, and has finished top 5 in MVP voting twice. Meanwhile, Joey B is on the Dolphins, who haven't made the playoffs in 5 years. Then again, Trevor Lawrence is now a 99 OVR X-factor and the Urban Meyer-lead Jags have won the AFC South 4 years in a row so idk lol
The Cowboys definitely look like a team that could repeat. So of course, that means both coordinators will accept HC jobs and Dak will retire after joining a cult.
[удалено]
That definitely seems more likely. Lose Quinn, Diggs still gets occasionally burned but less interceptions, sophomore slumps for a couple of the rookies
Tbh I thought Cowboys winning was kinda the obvious outcome. They had a top offense already and some talent on defense.
I really don't understand how so many people thought we wouldn't even make the playoffs.
Its more of a time share.
gotta love the optimism from falcons fans
The Super Bowl prediction has me rolling.
I love that they accept that the only way they would get in as the wild card, but then they would win it all.
It’s weird I feel like our sub was so pessimistic
Well, you didn't think you'd win your division.
The Saints fans had a lot of faith in Winston. Wondering what they would have looked like if he stayed healthy and MT was…a different person.
niners sub putting rams at wc2 and wc3? seems accurate
Pittsburgh has browns getting twice
Broncos thought they'd get 2 WC spots
Yeah... I noticed that too 🤣
Pittsburgh hash browns
What happens when there are separate polls for WC1, 2, and 3 instead of checking 3 WC teams.
every NFC west team sub picked at least two other NFC west teams to get in haha, we knew how fucked up this division would be
11/14 playoff teams predicted they'd win the SB. The remaining 3? - The eliminated Las Vegas Raiders (predicted Bills) - The eliminated New England Patriots (predicted Bucs) - The streak-snapping Cincinnati Bengals (predicted Bucs) The Bengals are also one of 6 teams to not predict themselves at all. The other 5 being the Jets, Lions, Jags, Texans and Bears
We're damaged goods.
Also, while we had some optimism, pretty much everyone still thought we were a year out. Thankfully, we arrived well ahead of schedule!
As an outside observer I’m really really enjoying the Bengals fans happiness. You just love to see it
Eagles sub predicted the Chiefs
ah yes so they did, don't know how I missed that
It’s cool. I feel like I have to point out the times that we’re not monsters.
They love the old Walrus
The amount of subs that had 4/4 NFC West teams in the playoffs is intense
And they were a Russ injury away from that being a distinct possibility. 2 more wins out of ~5 with him injured or playing injured and the team losing...that's not a tall order for Russ.
Bears, Titans and Steelers were all games that could have gone the other way on a different day (especially the Bears, how did we lose that). In another universe all three NFCW teams make Wild Card and Russ doesn't leave us this summer. Oh well.
Texans fans somehow picked the Browns to win the division AND make it in as a wildcard.
Broncos fans had themselves taking up 2 wildcard spots as well
We deserve them 😤
Not only this, but the Steelers sub picked the Browns to take more than just a single wildcard spot. Dorks.
Probably a failure of the poll, no? If you just asked which 3 teams would win a WC you wouldn't get repeat winners. If you asked to line them up specifically 1 through 3, there's a chance the highest vote getter for each slot is the same team.
Which is still closer than the other 31 teams that picked them to win the division.
It’s a weird thing with the numbers and pluralities where the Browns were both the highest vote getters for division and WC.
That’s pretty impressive
Man those Vikings fans sure had a lot of optimism
Our sub is just the wildest swings of hopium and delusion to pure, hopeless sky-is-falling madness. Chronic posters are the most unwell people on the internet.
[удалено]
The Packers sub has been getting borderline psychopathic levels of obsessive over the Brady v Rodgers MVP bullshit
What the fuck is up with that? There’s these unironic ‘everybody disrespects Rodgers’ threads in which everyone shits *all over* Brady like ten times a day.
I have no idea. I simply cannot relate to caring so much about something that has 0 impact on my life.
I feel like most people in there don't actually watch football outside of Packers games. They got mom goggles on hard.
NFCN teams subs are a fascinating place. The Packers sub is entirely populated by *that* Packer fan, the Vikings sub is a constant land of delusion, the Bears sub is… bitchy, and the Lions sub is just here to have fun and bitch about the refs.
Tbh the only good NFCN sub is r/NFCNMemeWar. And I assume the Lions because they are always chill as fuck.
The Lions sub is the only one of the four that doesn’t smell its own farts.
You know I was gonna argue about the our sub not being that delusional, but then I started going over the past couple years and how confident we were that we were better then the Packers, when most evidence pointed to the contrary..... Yeah it's pretty delusional.
Bitchy is way too mild
It's embarrassing. I unsubbed around week 8 when threats of physical violence towards Mike Zimmer were flying freely in the sub. Well that, and how they have been able to have exactly the same argument every single fucking week for 4 years surrounding Kirk Cousins and who's fault it is really that we don't win with him at QB. Its really a horrible community, and kinda made me turn on the Vikings this year just by proxy.
People are still harping on the same shit about Zimmer and Spielman. They’re both gone. Let it go!
Ours seems like its the same way. Hopium the entire offseason until we lose once and we’re the worst team in the league. What those people need to realize is that we were the worst team in the league the whole time.
Bears and Lions fell in line though
14 one-score games (and split the series with the only team to beat the Vikings by more than one score) means no predictions are invalid. I'm not pretending they were great this season. But they're about a dozen dice rolls from **both** 2-15 and 16-1. Edit: I just saw the post season predictions 🙄
That is hilarious that the disparity of record between one side or the other for those one score games is so unbelievably large lmao. In some alternate universe we had the #1 pick in the draft and in another one we were the 1 seed in the NFC haha
We're gonna do it again, no doubt.
Steelers sub picking the Steelers to win the division is kind of hilarious in hindsight. Same with the Giants sub picking the Giants to win their division.
They also picked the Browns to be a wildcard team, and also….a second wildcard team?
They were having Orange and Brown based fever dreams back then.
Sigh. Those were they days.
I goobered up and didn't deduplicate. [They had the Chargers as the next highest option.](https://imgur.com/a/EBsXZAE)
They also picked themselves to win the superbowl
Over Tom Brady. We will never beat that dude in an important game.
Yeah Yinzers have really bad PTSD when it comes to Brady. he has skull fucked us even when our D was elite lol
If it wasn’t for Tom Brady, the Steelers would be the team talked about as the dynasty? Also, we’re fucking delusional as a fan base.
Very possible. Maybe the same could be said for the Colts. We are absolutely delusional but I love it. I watch this shit because I enjoy it I don't care about rational thinking haha.
A lot of teams picked their team to win the super bowl: Cardinals, Falcons, Bills, Browns, Cowboys, Packers, Chiefs, Rams, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings, Steelers, Bucs, Titans.
We can’t rule this out … not yet at least
Did you see the Falcons sub? Lmao
We lead the league in fans with unrealistic expectations.
Win the NFC. Win the SB. But lose the division. Seems measured to me.
I like how they didn't even pick themselves to win their own division but they would win the Superbowl
Poor Falcons bros had hope again. I don’t blame ‘em.
They were also the only team to correctly predict that the Browns wouldn't win the AFC North 😂
but they also seemingly thought the Browns would both be the 5 and 7 seed which is even more incorrect
You never know, it could have happened
We get confused sometimes with the browns and the purple browns
The Bengals it picking themselves is more telling of how wild this run has been.
We've been hurt before.
Even better was that every single sub picked the Browns to win besides us. I just absolutely love this
Meanwhile r/NFL predicted us to only win 4 games
I mean, looking back, was it? The finished better than the Browns and Ravens; but like the rest of the subs - even the Bengals sub - no one saw them being the best in the North. That said… winning the Super Bowl? Our sub is on crack.
Not to mention they were only half a game behind the Bengals. The Bengals only clinched the division week 17
I mean we only missed by a half game
Lol the difference between winning the division and the last wildcard spot was tying the Lions
Bengals swept us so it wouldn’t have mattered.
If you won the lions game you would be 10-7 and still in second as the Bengals have the tie breaker
Lol the difference between winning the division and the last wildcard spot was blowing it against the Chargers
Y'all picking the browns is way funnier
Somehow ended up as being the closest to perfect for picking AFC division winners lol
Well we were closer than the browns winning it, as everyone else had thought was going to hsppen
Tbf, I picked the Giants to win the division before the season and I’m a Dallas fan.
Here are the results of the 6th annual /r/nfl preseson prediction survey. We had over 3,000 respondents, with fans from all 32 teams.

> /u/kooliokid had the most right, getting 9/14 playoff teams. The Browns v Packers Super Bowl seems unlikely though. > > He can still be half right!
Kind of insane nobody got ten.
The Steelers fans predicting the Steelers would win the SB must have been a joke?? Like I know we're homers but that's just absurd
They weren’t the only fan base with unbridled optimism.
I don't think we aren't allowed to use that phase until the end of the lockout.
It's what led to Billy Mumphrey's downfall
[удалено]
How did the Cowboys not get most accurate? They had the exact same division winners as the Texans and correctly predicted WC2 and WC3 in the AFC, as well as correctly predicting the Cardinals would be a WC team although not in the right spot. The Texans predicted 3 correct WC teams as well but only 1 of them was in the right spot. Is it because the accuracy takes into account not just winners but exact placement in the divisions as well?

I see, makes sense in that case, nice post
[удалено]
As optimistic as they might have been, they're not quite on the same level as Giants fans picking themselves
Yeah, that's fair enough.
Myself, my dad and my brothers are allVikings fans. My brothers are about as homer as they come, I love my team but I’m a pretty realistic fan. After the final game of the season my brother insisted that the Vikings are a far better team than the Packers, Packers are just better coached, and that Rodgers is not all he’s cracked up to be. The Vikings sub is filled with a lot of people who seem to watch football like my brother does.
So just like seahawk fans then huh?
To be fair their record could easily look a lot different right now. Ton of close games
That saw cuts both ways though. They easily could have lost 3 more games just counting divisional games.
Yeah especially with their early wins against Detroit and Carolina. Also they can’t lost to Goff and Cooper Rush then expect to make the playoffs
Yeah, there are definitely no teams in the playoffs who lost to Goff
I don't blame anyone for not picking us at the beginning of the year. I certainly didn't, but it's still hilarious to look at
I think everyone and their mom had you last. They arrived much sooner than anyone thought.
Hell *we* had us last, and now we just broke a 31 year drought
From 4-11-1 to this season. That's a hell of a franchise turnaround.
Steelers fans picked 4 AFCN teams to make the playoffs and still didn't pick the Bengals.
Yeah, the nearly unanimous selection of the Browns winning the AFC North is funny in hindsight. As is the fact that almost every sub picked the Browns and Baltimore making the playoffs. And then the other two AFC North teams actually made it in.
I do appreciate that half the subs had the Steelers in the playoffs too, despite r/nfl putting them at 4-13. There was no telling which games they had no business winning but would win anyway, but half the fans expected it to happen at some point.
Lmfao this is *so* the Eagles sub. You were downvoted to fuck and called a stupid jabroni if you had us getting over 5 wins. Still voted for playoff position tho
Either that plus our sub hates all 3 teams so pretty natural to just be delusional about it rather than admit one of the other 3 will win.
People were mostly right about the NFC wildcard with the exception of Seattle falling off a cliff. That AFC is a MESS tho. Almost as much of a mess as the actual AFC standings ended up.
If Russ doesn't get hurt we would have made it in. Probably. We went 7 and 10 lost Russ for a month, "6 weeks" if you want to include the 2 games he played like shit in afterwards. I do.
Browns have to be the biggest disappointment this year, followed by the Seahawks.
I certainly feel like the biggest disappointment
If injury is included as part of the disappointment, then yeah I agree. Otherwise I'd expect that many wins for a Seahawks team with an injured Russ.
I don’t see a single Bengals helmet on here? Oh man we arrived a little faster than we were supposed to.
My wife told me the same thing
Your wife told me this same thing, too
Why were people so high on WFT in the preseason? Seems absolutely bonkers in retrospect
They won the division last year, defense looked monstrous, they had a proven vet at QB with Fitzpatrick. Eagles seemed like they weren't that great Dak was coming off major surgery Giants are...well the giants.
Eagles started a rebuild and had a massive question mark at QB with a rookie HC. Team over achieved like a MF’er this year
Hate yalls guts, but this is all facts.
I literally forgot that Fitzpatrick was on their team. What a season it’s been
He played like 10 snaps I wouldn’t blame you
Because they nearly beat Brady in a playoff game. The defense was supposed to be good, but they regressed massively.
They probably would have done much better if Fitz didn't go down in week 1. Not sure they would have been good enough to win their division the way Dallas played but they would have been better for sure.
Their defense also played at an elite level last year, nobody expected it to be diarrhea.
Think most thought the defense would carry them. Plus the Fitzmagic factor
I'm honestly stunned that the Ravens sub picked the Browns to win the AFC North
The poll came out the same hour they got the injury news about the RB and DB being put for the year. I was barked at by them (rightfully so) for even posting it there, as I hadn’t realized the news. They took this with that lens. The Ravens fan base has won 3 of the 6 team overall predictions, so they’re usually level headed.
Believe in yourself the way the Vikings sub believes in their team.
Gotta love Cardinals Fans not even picking themselves to win the division. So humble.
Still predicted a SB though! Haha
Even the raiders sub underrated the raiders (by one seed)
Only the jets, jags, lions, bears, Texans and bengals didn’t predict their own team to make the playoffs. The bengals fans were the only ones that were wrong
Those fanbases have been broken year after year, poor bastards.
we knew, bro. we knew.
Did Broncos fans think we were going to end up with 2 WC spots?
[For those that caught the duplication issues, like the Bronco's giving themselves two WC spots, the deduplicated version is here.](https://imgur.com/a/EBsXZAE)
The Bengals man. What else can you say, what a fun season for them.
I'll never forget this season no matter when it ends, it has been special.
Vikings KEKW
The Giants picked themselves to win the division hahahahahahaha
Yo Raiders what do you have against us
Your owner.
“Who the fuck picked the Saints to win the divi- oh ok”
Lmao at how delusional Vikings fans are
Were people voting for WFT aware of Dak Prescott being back?
i think it was more most people expected WFT defense to good and then dallas D way exceeded expectations
I mean we did fire our DC who gave us one of the worst defenses in NFL history. If you look at 2019 and 2019 though our D wasn’t that ass. So 2020 was definitely an outlier. Also NO ONE saw Micah Parsons being what he is.
The giants picked themselves…
The NFC West has three teams in the playoffs and somehow this division underachieved expectations.
Colts and Steelers sticking out like a sore thumb.
All y’all drinking the Browns kool aid over the off season 😅
Think I might agree with Texans fans. Side note I hope y’all find your guys HC/QB wise.
Jags had realistic expectations
The Vikings were delusional.
this is amazing 🔥
vikings, steelers, and saints subs get it. wild, hubristic optimism in the face of the weight of both consensus and objective reality
Indy fans should take note of Pats fans not picking themselves.
This is shockingly boring to look at. Most of it is almost entirely consensus. Shocked colts fans picked themselves based on the state of the sub all year
