My Picks: Lamar Jackson, Eric's Bengals, Eric's Panthers, Eric's Colts, Jim Harbaugh, and My Lions.

Not making any pics but the John Gruden sweepstakes are starting to ramp up. I believe he is a really good coach and would love to see him in Cincinnati. Somebody will hire him and worried it might be the Colts because the owner there changes coaches about the same amount of time he changes his underwear.

It'll be interesting to see what Brown does coach-wise after Saturday's game at Pburgh, because win or loss, Taylor needs to go.

Great to see the Bengals pull it off vs the Steelers 19-17!

Glad my Bengals, Colts, and Panthers all won this final weekend of the regular season!

Bengals need to learn how to win the games in September because these always come back to haunt in close races.

Chiefs got scalped 38-0!!

How about those Lions crushing those Vikings and getting a 1st round bye. Waaa Hoooo!!!!!!

Congratulations and absolutely Awesome, Les!!

Bengals firing several guys on the defensive side of the ball and yes not a good year but when you get rid of 3 top players on defense good luck. The head coach should be gone as well but my guess win the last 5 games and you get to keep your job.

The playoffs are set and funny to see the first 3 games all Afc and the last 3 all nfc. 4 teams all year I thought had a great chance of getting to the Super Bowl though once in awhile a team looks good for a few weeks but to many ifs in my opinion. I still have the following teams plus one wild card team that has improved enough to warrant a chance to get to the Super Bowl

NFC- 2 teams which are the Lions and Eagles. AFC-3 teams and of course the Chiefs and Bills but the team imo has figured out their defense is the Ravens. They were terrible early on but over the past 5 weeks or so have gotten much much better. Their QB playing great as well.Love to hear from other folks on what teams they believe have a shot

Can't really argue with your call there Tim! We can already beat the Chiefs but we have some unfinished business with the Bills. Would love to see a Bills / Lions re-match for the super Bowl with of course, us winning!

Les I have the Lions playing the Ravens in the Super Bowl. Still not sure how good the coach is in Buffalo. Ravens have a great QB who is playing lights out,a defense getting better and a HOF running back who looks great.

That would be a nice match up too Tim! We have a bone to pick with the Ravens when they kicked our asses last year!

Just to add to the playoffs and I have the Harbaugh brothers playing in the afc championship game this year

I'd like to see Jim win it this year and knock those very tough Ravens out! Probably a low chance. Have to give the edge to John. Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry and a better defense.

I agree Les and would be playing at home. I just believe the Chiefs are a team that is not quite what they have been the past few years. If they get to the Super Bowl this year then Andy has done is best coaching job

I saw the Locker Room speech on the Detroit Lions you tube page also. I watch 'em after every game. Dan is The Man when it comes to knowing how to manage people and get the most out of them.
