2. Final Awards
3. Truth or Exaggeration
-If they take care of business against the Texans this week, plus considering the likely return of Derrick Henry, the Titans should be considered the favorites in the AFC
-The Browns should do all they can to trade Baker Mayfield to a QB-desperate team in the offseason, and accumulate assets by trading down in the draft to position themselves for a top QB prospect in the 2023 draft
-Patrick Surtain II is already a top-10 cornerback in the NFL
-The injury to Chris Godwin and the looming departure of Antonio Brown will be too much for the Bucs offense to overcome in the playoffs
-The Green Bay Packers should be the favorite to win Super Bowl LVI
-Unless Matthew Stafford dramatically improves his game these next two weeks, the Rams will be one-and-done in the playoffs
-If he becomes HC of the Raiders, Jim Harbaugh will win a Super Bowl in a second stint as an NFL head coach
