Who's in, who's out, who wants to play?

Let's have some fun. OK, I'm bored, so who wants to humor a bored fan? Either way;

The Power Rankings are out! Woo Hoo. Those rankings that change every week throughout the season are here, and since the season hasn't started yet they're even less meaningful than usual. See, they look backwards. Pretty low effort stuff by people that don't know nearly as much as they somehow get paid to.

That got me thinking. Every year more than a handful of the 12 teams that made the playoffs in the previous year don't. Of course that means the same number of teams that didn't, will. And that's why they play the games.

I thought it would be fun to predict who will make it this year that didn't last, and then the tougher part, who won't that did.

There's no prize or anything for this. Just some fun for you if you're bored too. Go ahead and shoot your shot in the comments!!! For reference, below are the teams that made it in last year.

Seed AFC NFC
1 Kansas City Chiefs (West winner) New Orleans Saints (South winner)
2 New England Patriots (East winner) Los Angeles Rams (West winner)
3 Houston Texans (South winner) Chicago Bears (North winner)
4 Baltimore Ravens (North winner) Dallas Cowboys (East winner)
5 Los Angeles Chargers (wild card) Seattle Seahawks (wild card)
6 Indianapolis Colts (wild card) Philadelphia Eagles (wild card)

Here's my predictions:

AFC Teams in that were out: Jets, Browns, Jags

AFC Teams out that were in: Texans, Ravens, Chargers

NFC Teams in that were out: Niners, Vikings

NFC Teams out that were in: Rams, Seahawks

GO NINERS!!!
