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
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
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 struggle 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
Grossi's stance of ranking teams based on match-up odds is weird. "Power rankings" are supposed to be the overall strength of teams. If a team's overall ability puts them at about the middle of the pack, you don't then choose to rank them last just because they've drawn the hardest opponent for next week. Like it's not stupider than *most* of Perna's week-to-week gimmicks, but it is stupider than some of them.
I see WAS and Denver as similar. WAS has better offense and Denver better defense but roughly at same stage of development. Next few seasons should be interesting.
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.
@@pstratos7 Yea, that rookie QB in the playoffs thing works out so well. 58 Super Bowls, 116 starting QB's in those Super Bowl games exactly ZERO of them have been rookies. Bo Nix is average at best and in a couple of years the Broncos will be looking for another QB, bank on it.
@@pstratos7 The Broncos are a long shot to win ONE game in the playoffs. Yep, it "could" happen, it's just not LIKELY to happen and THREE or FOUR long shot highly unlikely wins, well, yea, NO . The Broncos couldn't even defeat the Chargers or 7-8 Bengals in a game meaningful to both.
@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
@ 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.
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.
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 can see the Packers beating the Eagles, i can't see them beating the Lions, i don't see it. Only the Eagles have a chance to beat the Lions. As for the Broncos they have a good chance to beat the Bills, the Bills defense isn't that good and that bodes well for a rookie qb. On the other hand, yes, Josh Allen is great but he's gonna have a hard time against the Broncos defense.
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...
Perna’s power ranking graphic hurt my head a lot
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.
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
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?...
Signed,
A(laughing hysterically) Chiefs Fan
Meanwhile, Washington fans are just smiling, we've already won our season, anything else is icing on the cake.
Perna done gone insane with the hopium

Steelers maybe
If it was by matchup Packers should definitely be lower.
You're a Cowgirls fan?
That's not at all true. I think there's a good argument for the Steelers being below them for example.
@@lileeper YT keeps removing my legal replies.
The Perna Wheel of Victory guarantees a Vikings win

The Vikings are playoff frauds so I easily see the rams cruising past them
They barely beat the Bills
*Weeks 1 and 2 the Lions unofficially treated as their starters' preseason games.*
@@BrooklynNick718they did indeed beat the Bills. Great point
Texans above Broncos is criminal
Does anyone else think we have a great playoff schedule?
Anyone who doesn’t is a Scrooge 😊
CANT WAIT TO BEAT THE COMMIES
i would take three chiefs fans over three eagles fans

Broncos strengths are generally well suited to playoff football they could be a tough out

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.

Perna killed the graphic and not in a good way😂
If Josh Allen is Superman, the chiefs D is his kryptonite. Gooooo! Chiefs.
The Chiefs defense hasn't really been kryptonite, it has been his own defense. (Like Cincy this year)
He already beat you lol
Championship caliber defense about to get 40 bombed
Broncos, *LET’S FUCKING GO!!*
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.
The Ravens over the Eagles on Perna's? Do people just forget what the Eagles have done to some teams?
Broncos are 1-7 against teams over 500.
And how are the Packers against teams over .500?

Can’t curse a team that’s already cursed…
two negatives = a positive

Curses are not real

Perna should bow down to someone doing the logical thing and not risk injuries? OK dummy.

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
Your coach is a clown 😂

Yup, that sounds like Eagles fans...

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.
