Thanks
I reread the op
Then I deleted the wrong part while I redid those 3, the bit I meant to leave is the NFC south and afc west is tight top to bottom and wouldn't be shocked if I got 0 points from either division no matter what order I had.

 

[Exe Gesis]

As an aside....

AFC preliminary finals
Dolphins vs Bengals
Colts vs Raiders

NFC preliminary finals
Redskins vs Lions
Buccaneers vs Rams

NFL grand final
Raiders vs Buccaneers
or
Dolphins vs Lions
or
Colts vs Rams
or
Bengals vs Redskins

Or

Other combinations of the above eight teams

 

[Exe Gesis]

NFC south and afc west is tight top to bottom

More and more divisions are becoming like this, hard to predict. About the only annual obvious easy ones are AFCN and obligatory Packers NFCN div win.

Even the afc north is a three way race
And if one has a bad years
Cleveland could play well enough to jump em.

They might jump Ravens this year. Ravens already getting decimated with injuries and Browns roster starting to look good.

Is it weird that I thought gg said nrl grand final and was talking about Canberra?

Though, I'd rate that a better chance than Oakland in the super bowl. (Seriously, Oakland and Miami to be the two largest regressions this year. )

[LicoriceAllsorts]

If Miller is sack leader Broncs are not 4th in division

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Then again it could be a low leading sack number
