But the Titans may be the best AFC team come playoff team if they get their best skill position players healthy on offense before the playoffs start but until they do, they are a marginal playoff team at best.

The New England-Tennessee game was closer than final score indicates but the Titans are not a team built to withstand the losses of Henry and 2 of their top receivers.

The Ravens have not impressed me recently. How much of that is injury issues that may be solved by the playoffs, I don't know. When the scariest thing about the Titans is Lamar Jackson's running ability and their FG kicker, I wouldn't bet on them making the SB.

I would not want to face the Titans in round 1 of the playoffs if they have their players back/healthy and well rested.

We know the Patriots play damn good coverage, and BB will find ways to ever further **** us on an issue we're clearly having problems with.

However, i feel like if our D keeps playing the way it has that they'd match up extremely well with NE. They'd press, pressure and smother that Patriots short passing game.

Chiefs vs Patriots might be one of those 13-9 type games.

Chiefs need to win out, but even then, I suppose it’s possible NE wins out and takes the #1.

No matter how it shakes out seeding wise, I think barring anything crazy we are headed to NE/KC in the title game.

If we end up playing NE in the AFCCG I'd just as soon go to Foxboro as play at home. Our defense is ruthless on the road.

They're a ****ing joke, and the only reason why you're afraid of them is because your team got jacked the last time they trotted out a lackluster offensive lineup and a limited game manager QB and hoped they wouldn't get the ball shoved down their throat in the running game.

The Patriots will fizzle fast . They just gave up 270 rushing yards to a Henryless Titans team. 6.9 ypc...... and 4 turn overs by the Titans.

Buffalo and NE will likely split their two matchups. Will probably come down to their other games for the AFC East. Buffalo has a game at TB, NE plays at Indy. I like NE’s matchup against Wentz better than Allen against that D-Line in TB. NE will likely win the AFC East.

Chiefs will be competing with Titans (who are a mess right now, due to injuries) and the Pats for the #1 seed in the AFC. Also, don’t sleep on the Bengals. Playing really well the last 3 weeks and that game against KC in late December could have a big impact on playoff seeding.

Should be an interesting last month and a half.
