Peter King: No playoffs for Miami, Bills-Rams Super Bowl

[The Beatles]

“I’m picking a Rams-Bills Super Bowl. Obvious rejoinder: What’s wrong with Kansas City and Tampa Bay? You had them ranked 1-2 in the spring. The answer is, Nothing.

I really liked the Bills and Rams when I went to their camps. I think it’s Buffalo’s breakthrough year, and I think Matthew Stafford gives the Rams the kind of offensive confidence and explosiveness they haven’t had since we all thought Jared Goff was The Answer, in early 2018. More about each in a moment, and some explanations.

Here’s how I see the pennant races, with the wild cards asterisked and teams not in the playoffs last year marked with a # sign:


AFC Seeds
1 Buffalo
2 Kansas City
3 Tennessee
4 Cleveland
5 New England*#
6 L.A. Chargers*#
7 Baltimore*

Wild Card: Kansas City over Baltimore, Chargers over Tennessee, New England over Cleveland.
Divisional: Buffalo over L.A. Chargers, Kansas City over New England.
Conference: Buffalo 27, Kansas City 25.

NFC Seeds
1 Tampa Bay
2 Green Bay
3 L.A. Rams
4 Dallas#
5 San Francisco*#
6 New Orleans*
7 Seattle*

Wild Card: Green Bay over Seattle, L.A. Rams over New Orleans, San Francisco over Dallas.
Divisional: Tampa Bay over San Francisco, L.A. Rams over Green Bay.
Conference: L.A. Rams 30, Tampa Bay 27.

Super Bowl LVI, at Los Angeles, Feb. 13, 2022: L.A. Rams 33, Buffalo 24.”

Personally I think Miami is a better team than the Chargers. Maybe even Baltimore too.

 

[Coolguy3]

The playoffs will depend on the OL and Tua.

True.

I’ll give Peter King one thing though. He picked Tampa to win the SB last year.

 

[Hargitt01]

Not to bash our own dudes but we have a lot to prove before we are in that upper echelon of playoff teams. So it doesn't really bother me that we aren't on the list of playoff teams. We have to go out there and earn it. Winning cures all.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Everyone has an opinion. I respect his. Could certainly see Buffalo.

New England over Miami for the playoffs is possible, but I think the Dolphins are the better team.

I think I agree, and Miami has a chance to prove us both right in 7 days!

 

[DuderinoN703]

Well if Miami misses out again it isn’t like we’re unfamiliar with the feeling.

 

[BlueFin]

I agree with the Ravens, I have to see the Chargers before I judge them.

It's easy to pick the obvious contenders. That's like picking the team LeBron James is on.

I like Alabama to win it all.

 

[superphin]

I like Alabama to win it all.

You're really going out on a limb.

 

[KTDolphins]

I know its hard for anyone to pick us for anything. Everything always seems to fall apart in the worst ways for us. Keep getting convincing wins and the birds will chirp our way.

 

[Jamesw]

Bills will win the division but it will be very close race with Miami and NE. We will make the playoffs with a 10-7 record. Our OL (protecting Tua) and DL (stopping the run) will decide our fate.
