NFL Playoff Picture Breakdown! With 3 weeks left, we analyze the AFC & NFC standings. Who are the real contenders & who are the pretenders? Plus, are the Buffalo Bills the scariest team in the AFC right now? The NFL playoff race is coming down to the wire! In this segment, Brandon Ferst and Raider Jim Martinez break down the entire playoff landscape as it stands heading into the final three weeks. They cover the division leaders like the Broncos and Rams, the wild card hunt featuring teams like the Chargers and Seahawks, and which teams are on the outside looking in. Raider Jim sounds off on why the 8-6 Steelers don't deserve a spot and makes the case for the 6-seed Buffalo Bills being the one team NOBODY wants to face in January. We also debate the strength of the surprising Chicago Bears and their reliance on turnovers, and why the NFC West is absolutely loaded. 00:00 - Intro: The NFL Playoff Picture is Taking Shape 00:27 - AFC Playoff Standings (Broncos, Patriots, Jags, Steelers) 01:09 - AFC Wild Card Race (Chargers, Bills, Texans) 01:33 - NFC Playoff Standings (Rams, Bears, Eagles, Bucs) 02:00 - NFC Wild Card Race (Seahawks, 49ers, Packers) 02:43 - The Dallas Cowboys' Slim Path to the Playoffs 03:20 - Raider Jim's Analysis: The Team NOBODY Wants to Play 05:05 - Raider Jim on the Rams, Bears & Strong NFC West 07:23 - Brandon's Analysis: Are the Bears for REAL?
