ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt’s NFL Dark Horse Teams to Watch Down the Stretch | The Rich Eisen Show

We’re talking about the the top, right? The high rent district here going into week 14. You and I both know that usually there is a team that comes out of the mist, if you will, over the last five, six weeks. And before I let you go, looking at the standings in both conferences here, one by one, Chargers, Colts, Bills, and then here on the Rich Eisen Show, we don’t do in the hunt, we just say sniffing it. It is the playoffs in case you’re wondering what what’s being sniffed. um Texans Steelers Chiefs. So those are your wild cards and those your your your sniffing it. So I’ll throw the Jaguars in the mix as well as a three seed in the NFC. You take a look at Seahawks, Packers, NerS, Lions, Cowboys, Panthers. Put your marker on one team wild card sniffing it in either conference that you think could come out of the mist and make a run and win it. Scott Vanpelt, what do you have? If I’m allowed to take a wild card team in the NFC, I’ll say Seattle just because I think that they’re I mean the Darnold in a big spot. Is that scary? I Okay, I get it. What about the Cowboys? They’ve played pretty darn well last three weeks, man. They don’t look like I I told Troy Aman I I thought it was reasonable to put them in the playoff conversation, and Troy said, “I don’t know if it’s reasonable.” And I I keep texting him. I’m like, “It’s getting more reasonable all the time.” He goes, “No, that’s a confident team. It feels like a a loser goes home spot for the Lions and the Cowboys on Thursday. Uh this weekend’s massive just in terms of the head-to-heads. Um I I I like them. I like I like Dak and that defense is a hell of a lot better. Over Sean is a game changer along with getting a trade. That’s a different defense than they were when they were giving up 500 yards to everybody in the AFC. The team that I don’t think anyone wants to play, which is such a tired cliche, but I really believe it’s true. Who wants to play against Houston’s defense right now? I say no one. No one wants to deal with that group. So, I mean, the Chiefs were on that logo, and I can’t quit them, but they just in the same way I said Denver can’t keep winning score games. Kansas City was 10-0 in that lane last year. This this year, they’ve lost all of them, but one, which was the game they came back against the Colts. They’re Oh, what? I They’re one and six in one score games. So, uh I I can’t quit them, but I wouldn’t pick them. I’ I’d pick Houston to come out of the mist because they’ve been in the playoffs the last two years and I and I think Seattle is is potentially as good as anybody um in the NFC, especially when they play to their ceiling.
