The Miami Dolphins are in the 2023 NFL Playoffs. Many will question whether the team really deserves to be here. That’s valid. There is, however, no question about whether their fans deserve this.

The Miami Dolphins are headed to the NFL Playoffs. Despite the offensive struggles in Week 18 against the New York Jets, the Dolphins clinched a playoff berth after edging out an 11-6 victory in a scoreline more closely resembling a baseball game than a playoff-berth-deciding NFL game. The Dolphins overcame a recent five-game losing streak […]

Imagine saying this at the start of the season: the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to the NFL Playoffs. No need to imagine anymore, as Jacksonville clinched the AFC South by defeating the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night in Week 18 action.

The Cincinnati Bengals locked up their playoff spot weeks ago, but there is still uncertainty in the air. Cincinnati can clinch either the second or third seeds in the AFC, and could face a wide range of opponents. Additionally, with Damar Hamlin’s horrifying injury on Monday night (which he is thankfully recovering well from), and […]

The Green Bay Packers are on the verge of doing the unthinkable. Once at 4-8, Green Bay has reeled off four straight wins to miraculously claw back into the playoff picture. If the Packers can just defeat the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football, they will clinch a playoff spot and complete one of the […]

The Cincinnati Bengals got the short end of the stick when the NFL decided to rule their game against the Buffalo Bills a no-contest. The stoppage of the game was completely understandable: Damar Hamlin’s life was on the line, and no one wanted to play after going through that trauma. However, because of that, the […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are on a roll right now, and it could not come at a better time. They have won five of their last six games. That includes stringing together four victories in a row. Dating back to Week 14, the Chargers have looked really good. They beat the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, […]

The San Francisco 49ers are the hottest team in the NFL and perhaps the most dangerous team right now heading into the NFL Playoffs. The 49ers have won nine straight games and have not lost dating back to the end of October. Even without their No. 1 and No. 2 QBs, the Niners are just […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are having one of the most surprising turnarounds in recent memory.

The New York Giants are back in the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season. The Giants punched their ticket to the playoffs with a 38-10 domination of the hapless Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. New York moved to 9-6-1 on the season with the win and is now locked in on the […]

The Baltimore Ravens have already clinched a playoff spot this season after missing out on them entirely last season, but that doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to make a deep run. The Ravens are struggling mightily right now, and need to get star quarterback Lamar Jackson back on the field if they intend on winning […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have proven that they are once again one of the teams to beat in the NFL this season. The Chiefs have rolled through the supposedly tougher AFC West this season, and are the number two seed in the AFC with just two games left on the season. As a result, it’s […]

The San Francisco 49ers have been having a very interesting season. On one hand, they have been decimated at key positions. It all began when second-year quarterback Trey Lance suffered a season-ending injury back in Week 1. Jimmy Garoppolo was then thrust into action despite not even having this year’s playbook. Garoppolo then suffered a […]

The Minnesota Vikings find themselves in a pretty good position heading into the final two weeks of the 2022 season. They have already locked up the NFC North, and they cannot fall any lower than the number three seed in the NFC. On paper, it seems like the Vikings are in a good position to […]

The Dallas Cowboys have had a really strong 2022 campaign. Despite being without Dak Prescott for a five-game stretch towards the beginning of the season after he suffered an injury to his thumb on his throwing hand, the Cowboys have never wavered as one of the strongest teams in the NFC. Even then, the Cowboys […]

The Cincinnati Bengals had a bit of a slow start to the 2022 season, but with two games left to go on the season, they find themselves in full control of the AFC North. The Bengals have reemerged as the frontrunner to win their division, and they could clinch the division as soon as Week […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been in control of the NFC from the get go this season, and assuming they don’t completely fall apart over the final two games of the season, they will enter the postseason as the number one seed in their conference. That gives them a serious leg up on their competition, which […]

The NFL playoff picture is beginning to take shape. Teams such as the 49ers, Vikings, Cowboys, and Eagles have already clinched NFC postseason spots.

The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting in the driver’s seat to win the NFC East over the final three weeks of the season. The Eagles can clinch with a win over the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington on Saturday, and it would take a huge collapse for the Cowboys to catch them at this point. So what […]

The Minnesota Vikings currently carry an 11-3 win-loss slate, which is good enough for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings have, in fact, officially clinched their division and a playoff berth. They still have a shot at stealing the NFC’s top seed from the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Vikings will have to run […]

The San Francisco 49ers currently carry a 10-4 win-loss slate, which is good enough for first place in the NFC West. The 49ers have, in fact, officially clinched their division and a playoff berth. It’s quite unlikely they’ll have a shot at stealing the NFC’s top seed from the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Niners are […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are dominating the NFL once again in 2022. At 11-3, they have the best record in the AFC, only losing out to the Buffalo Bills on head-to-head tiebreaker.
