Tony said it.

The Jags, for what it's worth, did beat KC head-to-head.

And Baltimore is two games back of Jacksonville and Pittsburgh.

And obviously, Baltimore can overcome that by sweeping the two games against Pittsburgh.

But...

baltimore houston is also hovering around if you look at the way it stacks up in the afc there's a gigantic drop off after the the top eight all the way down to three and five houston is not completely finished yet in the wild card chase because they have a head-to-head against the ravens too i hear your workshop and all this stuff let's settle on most likely we're not having an nfl playoff without andy reed and patrick mahomes in it yeah we know this correct

I guess the easy answer here is where we started here.

The Jags are probably, you know, they did jazz up that roster a little bit at the trade deadline.

They're a little bit better.

So, okay, let's do the other side of this one and continue where we are here.

The team that is currently not in a playoff spot that will be, we already started with the Chiefs.

You lead me right into what I was going to bring up here.

The Vikings, a lot of people have thrown dirt on them, and it's super weird how fast people render their verdicts, especially on young quarterbacks, and I think that's why a lot of people are kind of like, yeah,

The Vikes are finished, as though J.J.

McCarthy is a bust forever because he played a bad half a football after his girlfriend or wife or whatever had a baby.

The Vikes are 4-4, so that then makes the Grimace Bowl that they have upcoming against the Ravens all purple all day.

It's a huge one for them and the Ravens.

The loser of this one is going to be in some real trouble, and it also assumes the talk about Baltimore getting into this thing assumes, at minimum, a split with Pittsburgh.

If that didn't happen, the Ravens would really, really be in bad trouble.

Another one, I know there's some buzz about the Bears, and after the way they won their game last Sunday, it kind of felt like, boy...
