Brady Quinn · Sep 4, 2025

Quinn gave a full AFC forecast with records: Chiefs 14-3 as the No. 1 overall seed and AFC West winner, Chargers 10-7 as the sixth seed, Bengals 13-4 winning the North over Baltimore 12-5, Steelers missing the playoffs, Bills 12-5 winning the East with the Patriots 10-7 grabbing the final wild card, and the Jaguars winning the AFC South over Houston via tiebreaker at 10-7.

Let me start off at the AFC West with my number one over old seed... at fourteen and three out of the Kansasity Chiefs
