I was I was prepping for today's show, and I was doing a bunch of reading, and I was trying to figure out, like, what's what's the what's the main topic. I do want to talk to what happens to Mike McCarthy. But I just kind of think we're in this same place in the AFC, and we've been here for a while, and maybe this is a year Dan byer A Jason Stewart, where we break through in and we have some change this week in football from Thursday on football football, foot buffo buffootball football right, because Thursday you have Notre Dame Penn State that'll do a huge number.

What a great game.

What a great game.

And then Sunday you have three games Denver, Buffalo, Washington, Tampa, Green Bay, Philadelphia. Again, I may be speaking out of turn. I may not have the pulse of America, but I think I do on this one. I agree with Jason Stewart in that the quality of play this year in the NFL wasn't particularly good.

I would agree with.

I would agree with.

Anyone who says that it feels like this has got to be the year if you're going to get the Chiefs, this is the year to get the Chiefs. And if there's a year in which Baltimore can win it, this has got to be it. If there's a year with that Buffalo can win it, this has got to be it. But they both have to do it in Kansas City and both have failed previously in the playoffs in Kansas City. So I guess my question to you guys, is isn't that the story of this whole thing? Isn't that this the story of the whole thing? Which is Ken Buffalo or Baltimore or anybody finally take out Kansas Cit in the AFC? That to me is the Pat Mahomes has played in the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl every year he's been a starting quarterback. Amazing, amazing. They of course get to buy it makes it easier for them to get there. Still not easy to get there, but you only have to win one game to get to the AFC Championship Game and then of course to a Super Bowl. Both would be both the games to be at home for the Super Bowls in New Orleans. But I guess Jay Stu Dan byer Dan, isn't that the whole story of the playoffs?

Like? Are there many stories? Yeah?

Like? Are there many stories? Yeah?

Yeah, I mean what happened to CJ. Stroud and Kenny get it back in the playoffs? I mean, you talk about the emergence of the Chargers, and I do think they'll be competitive in these playoffs.

I would pick them to beat Houston.

I would pick them to beat Houston.

You know, you have Pittsburgh and no one is scared of Russell Wilson. But should we be You go to the NFC and you got the dysfunction within Philadelphia. But obviously it doesn't feel like it would be a stretch to see them getting there. Obviously, Detroit never having been to a Super Bowl and having home field advantage route is a big story.

I'm not trying to undersell that.

I'm not trying to undersell that.

Minnesota doing it with yet another what felt like perennial backup quarterback in Sam Darnold. Right, we were here a couple of years ago with case Keenum. Don't get me wrong, these are good stories. But the story of the playoffs is Buffalo and Baltimore and Kansas City and Kent. Buffalo or Baltimore take down Kansasity and get the Super Bowl.

The EFC. Isn't that it?

The EFC. Isn't that it?

I actually disagree, Okay, God, I think it's a smaller story. But I would actually say that last year that was the story because the Chiefs finally were playing road games and they had to go to Buffalo and they won, and then they had to go to Baltimore and they still won again. And well, I think that the Chiefs three peat is an obvious story and has been throughout this season. I actually think it is the Lions and how it's set up for the Lions, and really on how for the Lions over the last couple of weeks or last couple of days, things have turned in their fortune. We just had in my report at the top of the hour David Montgomery should be back for the divisional playoff round. That was a big blow to the team. Terry and Arnold, who was injured in Week eighteen against the Vikings, is considered day to day. But this is Detroit who has never been to a super Bowl, and they now have home field advantage throughout the number one seed in a season where again, and I tweeted yesterday, I've had are we sure that Ben Johnson's going to want to leave for any of the available openings right now? Because I think that these openings are actually less appealing than some of the ones that there last year that he didn't want to take. So I don't know if Ben Johnson will leave to become a head coach considering what is out there right now in the NFL. But we also think Aaron Glenn maybe on the move. He could maybe be the next head coach of the Saints, going back to the team that he played for. So it's not that this is the last hurrah for Detroit, but it's the last situation where this formation of this team is all together and now they have home field advantage and it's set up for him after a fifteen to two season.

So you make a very compelling case. You make a really compelling case. And here's what I would say, you're probably right. In the NFC, You're probably right. And to add to your point, it's people never do what Ben Johnson did. They just don't, right. Do they turn down jobs, yes, do they turn down jobs, you know, to remain a street Yeah. But he hasn't been a head coach, so he's never And like, look, one of the things that's a great misconception or just misunderstanding. Coordinators make a lot of money in the NFL, right, those are well into seven figure jobs. So it's not like he's going to go from a couple hundred grand a year to six seven million a year as a head coach. But I mean for a guy who's never been a head coach to turn down head coaching opportunities last year and then for it all to work out. How many times do we see the guy the kid in college comes back for one more year, it's a disaster. The pro comes back for one more year, it's a disaster. The coach comes back for one more year, it's a disaster. Hasn't been the case in Detroit. Hasn't been the case. But I still believe that in totality of you know, like we're talking about Detroit in one franchise.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I just feel like Kansas City's dominance in the AFC Buffalo's regular season, like they know they can beat him, but that thirteen seconds like three years ago, got to come back to onun hum And how many times are we gonna give Lamar Jackson the MVP and his team not do anything in the playoffs. So I'm with you in the NFC, JA Stu, you'd be the deciding factor. What do you think is the bigger story?

So I'm with you in the NFC, JA Stu, you'd be the deciding factor. What do you think is the bigger story?

So just to I want to be clear here, you think that the biggest story is three stories, the Bills, Ravens, and Chiefs. Dan thinks the biggest story is the Lions. Uh, let me be the Black Eyed Peas and I'll meet you halfway. Thank you, Thanks for that, Ryan. The Bills. The Bills are the most intriguing story in the AFC for sure. Yeah. I think I said before the season that the the most compelling story all season is whether or not the Chiefs could three p We've never seen one in our lifetime. I'm rooting for it. But the Bills are the story going in because I think they have the best shot at dethroning the Chiefs. I don't know if that answers a question, but I like the Bill's story going on.

So just to I want to be clear here, you think that the biggest story is three stories, the Bills, Ravens, and Chiefs. Dan thinks the biggest story is the Lions.

But the Bills are the story going in because I think they have the best shot at dethroning the Chiefs. I don't know if that answers a question, but I like the Bill's story going on.

Well, I he Dan, can I can I add to the Bills thing about it's not just about this generation, because our generation of adults I'm talking to Jason, I'm talking to Dan. So if you're anywhere from probably early forties to mid fifties, that's a good chunk of people.

Well, I he Dan, can I can I add to the Bills thing about it's not just about this generation, because our generation of adults I'm talking to Jason, I'm talking to Dan. So if you're anywhere from probably early forties to mid fifties, that's a good chunk of people.

Okay.

Okay.

We know the Bills as the only team to make the Super Bowl four years in a row and not win it, and then when you factor in how good they've been with Josh Allen and never to get by Kansas City in the playoffs is still I think that adds to it.

We know the Bills as the only team to make the Super Bowl four years in a row and not win it, and then when you factor in how good they've been with Josh Allen and never to get by Kansas City in the playoffs is still I think that adds to it.

I think that adds to it real.

I think that adds to it real.

The only thing I would say to that is, yes, I understand, but our generation also just knows the Lions history and where they've been and this is a this is now in a spot where they've never been before. They had been to an NFC championship game. Granted it was thirty years prior with Barry Sanders against Washington, but then last year they come with basically within a quarter of making it to the Super Bowl and decisions that were made, and if they don't get it done here, then you start to wonder, Okay, is this just the Lions? Is this just them that getting close and they're not going to be able to cash in and that's why they're always the Lions. I think that that story creeps in. Whereas the Bills and the Ravens and the Chiefs for that matter, I mean, the Bills beat the Chiefs earlier this season, is one of their two losses on the year. I actually think the Ravens have the best chance to actually go to the Super Bowl. I think if Baltimore gets a chance to play in Kansas City, Baltimore will win that game. And so Jason is right in where he's staying where he felt the Chiefs throughout the season. But I also feel that we are talking about that, and I think that's what he's saying as well, that while he felt that that was the story throughout the year, entering these playoffs, the Chiefs aren't necessarily the conversation right now. He feels it's Buffalo. I guarantee there's a group that feels that it's Baltimore, and that Baltimore is ready to knock on the door because they were a tonail away from beating the Chiefs in Week one, and they were able to dominate the Bills in the regular season, and now you have Derrick Henry. So if not now, when And your point about Lamar Jackson, Yeah, I think that's fair. But I think ultimately all those three teams need each other as part of the story where it's the Lions and it's the Lions only in the NFC.

The only thing I would say to that is, yes, I understand, but our generation also just knows the Lions history and where they've been and this is a this is now in a spot where they've never been before.

But I think ultimately all those three teams need each other as part of the story where it's the Lions and it's the Lions only in the NFC.

Okay, I agree with you on the Lions. I don't know if it's the Lions only, Like the Donald story is still big, right, the Eagles and their dysfunction, and also you know, like is Jalen Hurt's going to play this weekend, And how amazing it would it be for Green Bay if they go one in five in division nearly oh and six in Division? Right, they don't block the kick of the Bears in Chicago and yet they win this weekend, Like that's a team town enough to win. But I would agree with you, like in totality, Lions potentially go into Super Bowl, how close they were, Dan Campbell, all those things. The issue I would have with your Baltimore wins that thing is like, what do we have as a record to tell us that Baltimore can ever beat Kansas City with.

Lamar Jackson a quarterback?

Lamar Jackson a quarterback?

As much as I agree they should, The same thing could be said for Buffalo, But at least Buffalo has in regular season and up until the last thirteen seconds of a playoff game, they have beaten Kansas City. Baltimore hasn't done it. I don't have they ever won that game. I don't think they have. I think they've come close so times. But it's like, of all the teams that own Lamar, no one owns him as much as Kansas City, And I just how.

Many times is this his third MVP? He's gonna win or a second.

Many times is this his third MVP? He's gonna win or a second.

Well this would be if he wins, it would be his third. But I don't think he's gonna win in I think.

Well this would be if he wins, it would be his third. But I don't think he's gonna win in I think.

It'll be pretty close. Theyk it'd be pretty close.

It'll be pretty close. Theyk it'd be pretty close.

Mahomes is four and one had to head against Lamar Jos.

I just I don't know.

I just I don't know.

Again, I'm trying to get it's weird because I thought the last game was a great, intriguing, fun ball game, right, But there's so many of these teams that are so very average and not capable. And the thing about the AFC is it's like everyone thinks this is the year you can get Kansas City, and yet really and I know they lost game seventeen, but really only one team got him, and I think that's the story of the playoffs. I agree with you Dan the NFC, it's a in the AFC and overall, gosh, I gotta think it's those other ones. I have a question for you guys to ponder as we'll get back to. We'll get to sports up coming next, but daylight savings may be going away. Why did daylight savings become a thing? And why are we so bothered by daylight savings? I have to have these questions answered by you guys.

We've heard for years like, hey, you know in some places have gotten rid of daylight savings.

You know, I know.

You know, I know.

Arizona for example, Like they don't change their clocks. I know Indianapolis. I don't know if it's all of Indiana or indian that doesn't change their clocks. But is there anybody out there is like we have to keep daylight savings? And I guess I'm not actually sure why the big pushback over the daylight savings thing?

JAYCEU.

JAYCEU.

You're pretty much anti everything, which means you've got to be anti daylight savings.

You're pretty much anti everything, which means you've got to be anti daylight savings.

Correct.

Correct.

Yeah, I don't have much of an opinion on it, but I would say personally, I love when it gets darker sooner. I'm much more of a dark cold guy. I deserve to live in Seattle, so I'm rooting against it.

Yeah, I don't have much of an opinion on it, but I would say personally, I love when it gets darker sooner. I'm much more of a dark cold guy. I deserve to live in Seattle, so I'm rooting against it.

From me, it's dark and cold in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

From me, it's dark and cold in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I can tell you that dark and cold gets dark very early here, although days are starting to get longer now as we've gotten out of the winter solstice. Yea, Arizona I think was the place that it was getting so dark so early that they were like, we're.

Not doing this, We're not doing this.

Not doing this, We're not doing this.

But then if we go away from daylight savings, then does it hurt places like Arizona? And I don't know, I don't, I don't. It's got to be a logic behind it. John Middlecock joins he has the three n Out podcast in the Volume podcast network. He also lives in Arizona. Do you know what happens if there's no daylight savings? Like, does Arizona then get screwed because there they went no daylight savings when everybody else did, and and that somehow helped.

That's a great question. I would say. The only way it really impacts my life is with games. You know, the money night football goes from five to fifteen to six fifteen. But other than that, you know, I don't really notice. You know, it naturally gets darker in Arizona, coming from California a little earlier, even when we're on the same clock. So I definitely think, you know, when we stay on the mountain times, so it's dark at five o'clock. So if they had moved the back, I mean, it would get dark at four o'clock.

That's a great question. I would say. The only way it really impacts my life is with games. You know, the money night football goes from five to fifteen to six fifteen. But other than that, you know, I don't really notice. You know, it naturally gets darker in Arizona, coming from California a little earlier, even when we're on the same clock. So I definitely think, you know, when we stay on the mountain times, so it's dark at five o'clock. So if they had moved the back, I mean, it would get dark at four o'clock.

Yeah, it's it's super weird. It's very weird. Anyway.

Yeah, it's it's super weird. It's very weird. Anyway.

I'm not a pro or anti. I'm like Dan, I mean, I'm like, excuse me on like Jason, I'm not pro or anti. But I I always think there's got to be a there's gotta be a reason we did it, And I wonder what happens if we go completely the other way.

It's wasn't it based on farmers?

It's wasn't it based on farmers?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah, it was the amount of time you had I think to work the field.

Yeah, it was the amount of time you had I think to work the field.

I guess I don't know.

I guess I don't know.

But the reality my brother is a farmer, I mean, the winner. They're bak like teachers, they're not doing much, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

Nope, Nope, No, John Middlecoff joining us here in the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio also had an interesting discussion on what is the story of these playoffs. Dan Byer is like, look, the story's got to be Detroit. You got an offensiveccording to that could have left, he didn't. It's the last year this group will probably be whole. Right, could lose both coordinators, always lose players when everybody wants to get paid. And they've never made the Super Bowl. My thought is like the Chiefs have dominated basically the last decade. This has got to be the year that either Buffalo or Baltimore get them. As a guy who's covered this thing, been around this thing, been in this thing, what do you think the distribution of what these playoffs are really about?

Is?

Is?

Yeah, I mean I think that would be one A and one B. I mean I didn't take the Lions seriously until I watched them. I mean, what an incredible victory for them on Sunday night. I mean, I can't even imagine being a lifelong fan and you couldn't have been that bulletsh going into that game, given the way the defense was just playing against the Niners, and to have that effort, it is kind of a culmination of this. Dan Campbell effort. But you're kind of right. It has a little bit member of the Belichick Romeo Crenelle, Charlie White hug after the one like their third super Bowl. Now a super Bowl hasn't happened yet, but it is going to be the last, you know, year of this crew more than likely. And you know, Aaron Glenn kind of proved the other night like he he might be just as good as Ben Johnson and obviously a former elite player. But to me, when we talk about the power of the league, it's about the star quarterbacks. And the guy at the top of the mountain top is Mahomes, And it's like, can one of the other two league guys, Lamar or Josh, who looked destined to play each other in the second round, then take them out in Kansas City, because both guys got their shot last year at home, and Mahomes came out on top kind of like you know, his Michael Jordan's Tom Brady Tiger Woods moment, and now he looks deston. I mean, they've peaked at the right time. They're at home. I mean, let's sake, the AFC is kind of the big dog conference right now. More than the NFC. I mean, how many teams, Like, how many teams in the NFC, because legitimately, in a Super Bowl, I got two assuming Jalen's help, because they got no chance of it's Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee. So we got to monitor that story and even Detroit like they still need to get guys back if they're going to beat one of those three quarterbacks in the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I think we're pretty much aligned on it. Steug Gottlie Show here on Fox Sports Radio, what'd you think about the coaching change in New England?

Yeah, I think we're pretty much aligned on it. Steug Gottlie Show here on Fox Sports Radio, what'd you think about the coaching change in New England?

I just think that they got very emotional about Bill having too much choose post Brady, and they hated the way he ran it, and once he started losing, they thought they could just kind of can pick a guy who hadn't been coaching very long and fill that seat. And then they kind of beat a puppet master. And you know, he was clearly a high level fire team captain and it just got away from him fast. And you know, you can say it's Brabel, which I do think is heavily influenced here, But even if Frable didn't exist, when you look at the list of just wanted done NFL coaches. You won't read bennings that are like, oh, I think I got a raw deal, right, So I think you kind of know it when you see it and you just have to pull the plug and that listen. Maybe they did. And now it's like, and I'm guilty of that. It's like, Oh, the Patriots have great ownership, do they? Or do they just have Belichick and Brady running everything for twenty years? I mean, we're really going to find out here, you know, kind of the way this plays out. But you know, all Seigne's points are brable and there's not a human alive that wouldn't rather have Mike Rable to draw mails.

Okay, so what about the Jets and this idea of Rex Ryan does that work?

Okay, so what about the Jets and this idea of Rex Ryan does that work?

Yeah?

Yeah?

To me?

To me?

I was told honestly before it became like national news maybe two months ago. He's like, keep an eye on that. And I think the more and more these stories came out about the kid and the organization, it's just going to wipe out legitimate candidate's like Mike Rable's not taking that job, Ben Johnson's not taking that job. And I do think Rex like and one thing that's been reported is they want a guy who embraces, you know, kind of the market, the pressure. I mean, I mean he's openly campaigning for the job. And let's face like, he is a really good defensive coach, so like, what are your other options? And I listen, I would give him a pretty good shot and at getting this gig. And I also don't think it's that crazy, Like, I mean, he's clearly knows what he's doing. I know he has coach in a while, but like you're gonna take him over some you know, random coordinator because you're not getting any of the top names.

No, no, no, you are not.

No, no, no, you are not.

Okay, if you were vrable, what's the best job out there?

Okay, if you were vrable, what's the best job out there?

Yeah, I mean his relationship with the Craft family and the ability to kind of start from scratch. They got high draft picks, they got money to really kind of build that organization. You know, the difference with the Bears because Drake May and Caleb Williams aren't that much different. They're talented guys that didn't really play any meaningful football in a long long time. But you look at two organizations, you're like, well, one ownership is like I have to answer to the vice president who's in charge of the stadium, but you don't get as much credit in the state, you know, doing the stadium. So he's like meddling his football. No chance. So I think that the Patriots, given his you know, history with the family, it makes a lot more sense for it. I don't think the Bears a good job, you know. I think when you look at the organization, when you look at the ownership, when you look at the division, when you look at Kevin Ward, and like, let's face that Caleb has a legit liability, you know, a red flag with his play right now, and it's holding the ball way too long. And you know, depending on who you talk to on the offense side the ball, some people will say, like that is something that's hard to shake. I can improve accuracy, you know, I can improve certain things, but that is one that we have seen a lot of guys historically. You know, it's something when you're not seeing stuff. We've seen San Donald. But hell, that crept up the other night. He kind of got gun shy. And when you hold on to the ball. That's never been an issue with Jared Goff. But Jared Goff will get rid of the ball fast. He doesn't have a choice. And I think some of these guys that hold on to the ball, that would make me a little nervous for everyone's like, oh, Caleb Williams, Well, what if Caleb Williams turns out not to be good? Because all these quarterbacks can't like, that's not the way it works. So some of them are gonna miss. And we know Jaye dam Is probably not Bo Nicks is. I don't know how great he's ever gonna be, but he's clearly gonna be a starter for a long time with Sewan. So it listen like the way Michael Pennix plays, the more reps he plays, like he should become I don't know, at least a serviceable starter. I don't know. Caleb thinks hears me.

For me as well. It does to me as well.

But also because and again I know it's outward appearance, not inward appearance, but outward it's there's a tinge of arrogance there, as if it's everybody else's fault, not his. And that's also really really hard, really hard to overcome. It's Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. John Middlecoff is our guest. Thing out is in fact the podcast so the Steelers play good teams at the end of the year and lose to all of them, and Russell Wilson I felt like got exposed. I was very hesitant to think Russell Wilson could could really be a productive quarterback, and then there was a window there was like, Okay, maybe it works, and now I feel like it doesn't work. What are your thoughts on the Steelers as they get ready for the Ravens in the playoffs.

What are your thoughts on the Steelers as they get ready for the Ravens in the playoffs.

Well, think about this. Last year they played the Bills in the first round. They were ten point underdog. This year they played the Ravens in the first round. They're a ten point underdog. So we're not even talking about the team that's won three out of last five. It's one back to back chance. That's the you know, the league dog in this whole league. We're talking about the next tier of teams they're not even remotely close to. And I think you would have to be like a former Steeler player to watch what we've witnessed over the last month and give them any chance, even when you factoring life. Because they're bitter rivalry, they know each other so well. Like the team i've watched is leaking oil and heading the wrong directions fast. So it's like, isn't this time I said this last year, I'm gonna stay it again this year. It was hard to say it middle of the year because it was like, Okay, maybe they aren't gonna win thirteen games. It's like now they're just they're gonna suck and that's what they They're not a good team. If this is college football playoffs, we would have picked Cincinnatti and not Pittsburgh. It's the last team in. So I just wonder if you're Mike Tomlin, like what are you gonna do? Are you just gonna do this over and over? If you're the Steelers, are you just cool with this? You're never gonna lose. He's clearly solid, but there's no winning in site, So like, is it now time to pull the trigger, like trade him to the Bears and take a swing, like go hire Ben Johnson, get an offensive mind, change your mindset in what you're doing now. It's probably a waste of breath because we know what happens. They'll come back, they'll go nine and eight, they'll go ten and seven, and they'll be seventeen and they'll lose in the first round again.

Gruden had it for a couple of years, right, but Basacia took over for him, and then and then did Josh. Josh was a year and a half right.

Gruden had it for a couple of years, right, but Basacia took over for him, and then and then did Josh. Josh was a year and a half right.

Then then Ap and now new guys. But when I when I first started doing the media stuff and left football, I got there. Dennis Allen was their coach. He got fired. I think the first season. I was kind of around with the radio station doing their stuff. Four games in, Tony Soprano takes over. He gets fired at the end of the year or doesn't get retained. His interview, Bill Rio comes on. I mean Mark Davis, I do think he his heart's in the right place, but he's not He's not trying to lose and clearly he hired Antonio Pierce because two guys begged him to keep him for his two best players, yep, and then one one guy immediately asked for trade and the other guy basically the season went on, said like if we don't start winning, like I'm gonna want to trade. So yeah, Probab shouldn't list the players. But I do think he just tried to do the right thing. Like well.

Also also that was that's all.

Also also that was that's all.

That was also kind of an over correction for the Basacia thing. Not that they should have hired Bassacia anyway, but it was Basacia took him to the playoffs to be the Chargers. Then you don't hire Bassacia and then McDaniels goes. I mean, people don't understand like they had a complete regime change when they had to, when they had to get rid of Gruden because he had his own GM.

He drafted rock Powers and hell, the kid he drafted from the Chargers now learned how to catch. So last two first round picks appear to be good. Be interest is interesting to see who he hires because when he was in LA with the Chargers, he had he hired all guys that were not proven. I wonder if that changes and Tony appears unproven, he had hired a couple of unproven guys if he hires a proven guy instead.

I think one problem for Mark Davis, and he knew it was like, obviously Andy's been there for a decade dominating. But then over the last twenty four months, the Broncos give ninety million dollars Sean Bayden and the Chargers, who remember Mark Davis gave one hundred million dollars to Mark John Gruden when the Chargers were still kind of being chieved with coaches, and then since then the Chargers pivoted and like John Gruden, like Jim Harbaugh's much better. So the Chargers got one of the best coaches I don't know, like of my lifetime in gym. So you are think about those three coaches in the NFL, there is not a division if you just take all four coaches, probably to make as much money as those three guys combined, and there's definitely not a division where if you just draft them from the coaches that had a better division with like elite coaches than that one, so he kind of didn't have a choice. You know, It's like, if you want to compete, he's in Vegas. He just always sucks, but man, he paid a lot of people to go away.

I think Bears at three because you at least have a quarterback. I think Raiders at two. I know the division is hard, but that doesn't scare me. You don't have a quarterback that does. But Telesco built a hell of a roster with the Chargers, and I think they have to give the next guy more time and it'll be a more substantial higher and then I think Jacksonville won again. I know Trevor Lawrence hasn't been what we thought he would be, but the playoff year a couple of years ago were signed with signs of life and they do have pretty talented roster. I know the travel to when they always play in Europe is hard, but that's also a division where you can win games. So I'll go Jacksonville won. Raiders to Chicago three.
