@@Donotcare6 the vikings are a good team, regardless of who wins the division, or who gets the wild card. I have a lot of respect for what they're doing with a qb in Sam darnot, especially after trading Kurt cousins to Atlanta. The season has a long way to go, and the lions still have to play them twice. I will say that as a lions fan, I would be most worried about the vikings, as far as in the head to head matchups. This vikings team is for real, I'll say that, they play tough, they play smart, and I have a huge amount of respect for them.

What makes this show so great is that there’s continuity and storyline. It’s like each football and basketball season is a new season of the show and they have their picks and try to get people on their side to believe in their picks and they all root for a new team each year which is cool. Well wildes does brou and nick evidently just root for the chiefs and ravens every year now but that’s fine with me

[@A1PrimeTimeMovies]

Bengals could be 2-10 and Nick would still be high on them because they beat the Chiefs that one time in the playoffs 3 years ago 🙃

[@legitdragon6202]

Yeah the Bengals themselves seem to be believe they're the same team as 2-3 years ago, and that's part of the problem - they're not. They're not a hungry team fighting for respect anymore, they've become a bratty entitled team that just seems to think they can turn it on whenever they want based on what they did 2-3 years ago

[@LeXiO88]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and this is Nick's tier list, that being said.....what do the "not quite right...yet" teams have in common. I wonder. If it's just a tier based on how good a team is, it's hard to argue anyone has played better than the vikings through 4 weeks. And like a lot of teams, they're not even at full strength. The vikings should be at the top, that doesn't mean they're winning a supebowl, it just means they're playing better than pretty much everyone else atm.

[@wholetthewolfout]

In that costume, Wildes looks more handsome. Still not as handsome as Joel McHale, though.

[@AlucardMM]

Is it so hard to understand the bills had a terrible coaching performance vs the ravens and the fact they had no starting LBs or safeties the whole game and THAT is why it was so ugly? Ravens could still beat them but full strength vs full strength I don’t think the ravens are 25 points better than the bills. However that Ravens was the obvious trap game ever, to go into Baltimore and beat them on prime time coming off a big win vs them potentially having their backs against the wall? Obvious trap game.

[@dwarfchron801]

The Vikings being below the 3 teams they dominated is the most Nick thing ever. Thank god Wildes is keeping this show respectable lol
