Week 15: Playoff Rankings



Hey, hi, hello!

 

A little late this week because I put out the injury report too early last week and then those early reports were pretty wrong. Oopsy! So a Thursday edition it is.

 

In Week 14, Bills @ Rams was the only game in NFL history where both teams scored 40 without a turnover. LeBron-esque stat there but just goes to show that those two teams can SCORE. Lots of favorites won last week with the Lions squeaking out a TNF win over the Packers, the Dolphins beating the Jets in overtime, and the, ESPN hot take music ARE THE 49ers BACK?? Maybe we find out tonight! On with the show.

 

Week 15 Over/Unders:

Highest Over/Unders (via FanDuel)

  • 54.5 – Bufallo Bills @ Detroit Lions – PLAY EVERYONE BUTTON

  • 49.5 – Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers – anotha TNF gem

  • 40.5 – New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars

  • 42.5 – Pittsburgh Steelers @ Philadelphia Eagles – Eagles locker room in shambles at 11-2

Playoff Rankings:

Woo this might be a little spicy. We’ve been talking playoffs for a few weeks now. My playoffs (and most I think) don’t actually start until this week so let’s see where your team stacks up. I don’t do rankings often but felt it might be easier to look at the final four games only. Matchups, priors, everything on the table. Here are my rest of season rankings at every position.
