Pick 5 New Playoff Teams for This Year

[DFWJC]

By “new” I mean….
What teams do you think will make the playoffs this yearthat missed out last year?

Man, AFC has a bunch that look like, this early, they could make it. Not as manyin NFC

here is a guess at 5

LA Chargers
Denver
New Orleans
Baltimore
Indianapolis

Houston may surprise....

LOL, pure speculation. I don't think there are 5 new teams to make the playoffs this season that didn't make it last season. But I agree with these 2.

Denver
Indianapolis

• definitely go with the Colts (QB Ryan upgrade over Wentz) and Ravens (QB Jackson new contract incentitive + return of many injured players)
• Not so sure about Saints (doubts with Winston @ QB) - but they have matched up well v. Bucs (will TB12 finally succomb to his age + the rigors of the NFL?)
• Same with Broncos and Chargers; three teams in the same division have made the playoffs in the past (Rams, Cardinals, 49ers last season - but happened even before the 7th berth was added two years ago) - or expecting the Chiefs to relinguish AFC West title (6 six consecutive and postseason berth (7th straight?)
Good choices
I'm going with your list, and add a sixth team - Dolphins

i think those are really good guesses. Hard to see Denver and LA not making it in. I’m not even sure KC can win that division now. I could see KC being an odd man out.
Baltimore is always in the thick of things with a strong D. NO has a really strong roster overall but if Winston plays well, they could surprise a lot. I like Indy, the QB was the only thing hindering them last year and they have upgraded significantly.

Houston may surprise....

If you mean 5-12 or 6-11 would be a surprise improvement, yes

 

[Ranching]

I think 9-8

 

[DFWJC]

I think 9-8

Haven’t looked at their schedule
That'd be a nice turnaround

Just a hunch

 

[tyke1doe]

Ravens
Chargers
Broncos
Colts
Dolphins

 

[DFWJC]

Just a hunch

heckuva hunch, coach.

I just took a peek at their roster.
The schedule isn't terrible, but it looks more like 3 to 7 wins max

Now I’m curious!

On the other side of the coin ------ for each new team predicted to make the playoffs following the upcoming 2022 season, one team from 2021 has to be chosen not to repeat getting a postseason berth-

Colts in \ Titans out
Ravens in \ Steelers out
Saints in \ Cardinals out or 49ers out (QB situation)
Chargers in \ Raiders out
Broncos in \ Bengals out
Dolphins in \ Patriots out

Those all look like good ones to pick.
I am rooting for the chargers.

 

[Robbieac]

I’m going to pick Dallas.

Because I don’t remember them actually showing up in the playoffs last year…..

 

[Jipper]

Go Cowboys !
That's who I am concerned about!
Lol

Me too!

But history says 7-10 sounds about right...

 

[Flamma]

Broncos
Chargers
Colts
Dolphins
Saints

Hell, there's a possible 5 or 6 from the AFC alone.
