Default 📈 📊 📉 NFL Playoff Fraud Watch / Make The Call 📈 📊 📉
Do you like to complain about football postseason formats and participants?

Do you believe that you can easily identify which teams "belong" and which ones don't?

Think your sport opinion is worth a lick?

Then this thread is for you!

Place the 14 NFL playoff teams into the category they belong in and show everyone that you are, in fact, a football expert who can easily see what should be obvious to all.

Category 1: Contenders
These are the legitimate Super Bowl contenders. These teams will beat the "They Belong" and "Fraud" teams. These teams will only lose to other contenders.
Category 2: They Belong
These teams aren't winning the Super Bowl, but they will put up a fight and won't lose in a blowout.
Category 3: Frauds
These teams don't belong in the playoffs and will get blown out.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Example:

Category 1: Contenders

- Lions
- Chiefs
- Eagles
- Bills

Category 2: They Belong

- Ravens
- Bucs
- Commanders

Category 3: Frauds

- Texans
- Rams
- Chargers
- Vikings
- Steelers
- Packers
- Broncos

Category 1: Super Bowl Contenders

- Lions
- Ravens
- Eagles

Category 2: Good odds to get to their Conference's Championship

- Bills
- Chiefs
- Rams

Category 3: Could win a game (possibly two)

- Commanders
- Chargers
- Bucs
- Vikings


Category 4: Frauds - they're not winning a game

- Texans
- Steelers
- Packers
- Broncos

These picks are not based off of record, but on how they are playing entering the playoffs.

For what its worth, I don't necessarily think the teams I have listed as Frauds will get blown out, but do not consider any of those teams valid contenders.

Chiefs are the only real contender. Everyone else has a glaring issue that will bite them, has bitten them or they are simply there because nearly half the league gets in now

Without reading any of the replies and in order of seed starting with AFC (not that I think the Steelers are more fraudulent than the Commanders for example):

Category 1: Contenders
Chiefs
Bills
Ravens
Lions
Eagles

Category 2: They Belong
Chargers
Buccaneers
Rams
Vikings
Packers

Category 3: Frauds
Texans
Steelers
Broncos
Commanders


This is only for 2024. Some teams are on the upswing while others may be stepping back next year.

Category 2: They Belong

- Vikings

- Chargers

Category 3: Lose First Round

- Bucs
- Texans
- Rams
- Steelers
- Packers
- Broncos

Frauds is harsh, a lot of good teams in there, but I think those are the 6 out first. The championship games will be 4 of those 5.

Agreed.

I made the thread more so in response to the fact that "fraud" and "don't belong" have been used over 100 times in the last month here on Blowout in regards to NFL and NCAA playoff teams.

If a team goes through an 18 week season, they earned their place. The ones that use the term fraud loosely I tend not to take seriously.

I agree with this posters rankings for the most part. Anything can happen but this is more likely.

Category 1: Contenders

- Lions SUPER STRONG
- Chiefs
- Eagles
- Bills

Category 2: They Belong

- Ravens
- Commanders
-Vikings
-Chargers

Category 3: Frauds

- Texans (not really frauds, they are the division winner so they belong)
- Rams
- Steelers
- Packers
-Bucs (the D has more holes than swiss cheese, and elite offenses will roll over them. Baker can throw to keep up but he will throw picks that will end their run

Added a category- the "wild Card" Broncos- a team that most experts thought would be a 6 win team, and they care entering the playoffs on fire and the D is legit. Nix is a playmaker, and while I am not calling a won against the Bills, they match up well, and I think it's a good game. This is a playoff contender for years to come, move over KC.



My prediction is a Bills Lions Super Bowl, or at least I'd like to see that one

Honestly curious, what's the Eagles' glaring issue? And don't give me raw passing numbers since they have the #1 rushing attack. They've lost one game in 13 weeks playing their backup QB on a last-second pass.
