I always have to remember this time of year that nobody knows anything.

And just how much can change with unexpected player injuries, players playing above expectations, players playing below expectations. There is never a time where you can accurately guess how a season is gonna go.

And if they don't try to predict how the season will go, many of these people would have nothing to write about!

RIP Patriots if he's right tho. Three 11+ win teams in your division is rough

As a Pats fan, there’s not much to get excited for right now. I’m just hoping we can somehow perform acceptably but I’m not holding my breath.

Bucs fan with the same feel. If we're able to keep out 5 dubs, I'd be alright with that

Any reason you decided to throw the Raiders in your summary? Just for shade?
Ocelot@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Not at all. The Raiders may struggle this year, but they are way better than a 3 win team.

If Jimmy G goes down early in the season, I could see it. Also it's the Raiders, they're almost always worse than the sum of their parts.

I assume because three wins is laughable. I don't think the raiders are in great shape by any means, buts it's almost hard to only win 3 games.

Since '02 we've had two sub-4-win seasons. And eight seasons of 4 or fewer wins, including the year after we went to the Super Bowl.
We've been on the cusp of 3-wins for a third of our seasons over the last 2 decades. Last year we had 6 wins with a playoff team before downgrading.
Maybe 3-wins is a bit of a stretch for expectations. But it would not be at all surprising.

I agree it's possible they end up with three wins. I just don't think it's likely at all.

Chiefs back down to normal this year it seems. Where are the Bengals. Guess I’ll have to go read.
Nusm@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
12-5 and winning the division according to the article. They just didn’t list them in the tldr.
And to me that’s iffy depending on Burrow & his injury and the length of time to recover.

Every year is the same prediction for the chiefs: "regress to the mean"; if you put any stock in any sports reporter, you're dumber than they are.
Ocelot@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Hard agree. The AFC West is so hard to make look like a race. The only way to try to stir up interest is to talk about the Chiefs losing ground.
moeggz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Which works out great for the Chiefs and their fans, as we get another year of “they doubted us” bulletin material.

Never do myself :) As a ‘Dotte native have heard it for a almost 5 decades :)

This Bills fan sees no problem at all with this analysis....

Jets to the Superbowl?
Noted with thanks.
Crl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Cardinals at 2-15? That's a W for us, looking forward to 2024 and beyond!

I'm pretty sure 3 teams with the same record in 1 division is possible but it SOUNDS impossible.
