There’s still so much on the line in week 18 of the NFL season – seven teams are fighting for the final three playoff berths and other than the Packers having locked up home-field advantage, all the seeding will still be decided! Let’s try to figure this thing out!

NFL week 11 preview (2021-22):
We’re ten weeks into the NFL season and major upsets upsets have ruled the landscape. Which ones might be added to the list? Who can stay hot and win the big-time matchups of week 11?
NFL week 9 preview (2021-22):
I almost didn’t get this out before TNF, with the news about Aaron Rodgers forcing me to overhaul the whole thing a little bit, but here’s my preview of all the #NFLWeekNine games!
NFL week 6 preview (2021-22):
We’re back with the weekly preview series, looking at this sixth slate of the season! While one of the stand-alone games won’t anybody away, there’s a bunch of good ones throughout Sunday!
NFL week 4 preview (2021-22):
We’re back with another weekly preview video, breaking down this week four slate with key stats, personnel and schematic matchups, before putting out my prediction for every single game. We have a bunch of divisional games and storylines to discuss!
NFL week 3 preview (2021/22):
After recapping every week of the NFL season in detail last year, I thought about switching things up and previewing the upcoming slate from now. Let me know what you think of the format and which of my picks agree/disagree with!
Predicting the entire 2021 NFL season:
We are exactly a week away from the NFL kickoff game between the Cowboys and Buccaneers. So as I do every year, I predicted the three top candidates for every major award, like MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and so on. To go along with that (since I’m a football psycho), I went through the whole schedule and decided on the winner of every single game, considering bye weeks, travel schedule and of course how the teams match up against each other. The result is a list of the seven playoff teams in each conference, a prediction of every postseason round and ultimately who I have winning the Super Bowl.
My Excel sheet, where I filled out the entire schedule is at the very end, if you want to check it out or see where I have your team finishing at, if they’re not listed among the playoff squads.
Here’s how I have the season shaking out:

Predicting the entire 2020 NFL season:
Now a week away from the season officially being kicked off with Texans @ Chiefs, I’m ready to commit to all these predictions. As I have done for several years now, I am going to forecast all the major season awards, such as league MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and others, before I get into my playoff picks. To do so, I went through the schedule and predicted all 256 games, before putting all of that into playoffpredictors.com – which I can absolutely recommend you check out – to double-check my final seven seeds for either conference. On my first version, I got so complicated with the tie-breakers, that I actually had to contact the host of the page, to get some clearance on an issue, but after I went over it a second time, things became a lot easier to figure out.
With that being, this is how I believe the 2020 NFL season will look like:
NFL Playoff Predictions following week 11:
We are at a point of the NFL season where the playoff picture is really starting to form. Nine of the twelve teams that are currently in line for a spot in the postseason have won seven or more games, with both Wildcard teams in the NFC sitting at eight wins already. In the AFC there are far less true contenders one through six it seems like, but there are two elite squads at the very top.
With only six weeks left in the regular season, I decided to take a look at every team’s schedule (well, outside of the Bengals, Redskins and Dolphins), and predicted their final records. According to that, I put together my top six seeds from each conference, to see where they will end up as we close the year. While most of the teams mentioned are already en route to making the playoffs, I have quite a bit changing about the seeding.
