Last week: 19 (-3)

Record: 4-5

Every year one team goes from the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer. However, this year, 9 games in, all 12 of last year’s playoff teams have at least 4 wins. That means either this won’t happen this year (only one time in the past decade it didn’t happen) or either the Bengals, Lions, or Saints will go 1-6 in their final 7 games. I think the Bengals are the ones who are the most likely to do so because I think they’re the leat talented of the bunch. That being said, look at Detroit’s schedule the rest of the way: vs. Green Bay, vs. Houston, vs. Indianapolis, @ Green Bay, @ Arizona, vs. Atlanta, vs. Chicago. No easy home games. We can’t rule them out, however talented they are.
