What's Wright with Nick Wright · Sep 24, 2025

Wright argues that despite both sitting at 1-2, it will be nearly impossible to assemble seven AFC playoff teams that don't include both Kansas City and Baltimore, and he picks the Vikings to beat the Steelers in the overseas game.

It will still be so hard to find seven AFC playoff teams without including both of the Chiefs and the Ravens.

  • I cannot wait to be on the Vikings this weekend as they play a London or an Ireland game, and that defense going after Aaron Rodgers... they're rolling with WinCE for this overseas game against Pittsburgh.
