Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I am Dave Hellman, and we have got a fun thought exercise for you on Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I am Dave Hellman, and we have got a fun thought exercise for you on today's show.

What if I told you that three teams were going to make the playoffs from the same division in this 2025 NFL season? To me, as somebody who has to prognosticate and put together a playoff field every summer, it sounds far-fetched.

Until you realize, yes, not only did it happen last season, not only did it happen twice last season,

it's actually happened each year since the NFL expanded the playoff format to seven teams. As outlandish as it seems to me

trying to pick the playoff field every summer, this is actually something you can kind of count on,

which makes it fun to try to identify which division is the most likely to do it this year. So that

was the goal for Derek Classen and I on the athletic football show today.

We started at eight and worked our way up to one, the least likely to most likely divisions in the NFL to produce three playoff teams.

Very fun show, very outside the box show. Let's get into it.

Thank you. very outside the box show. Let's get into it. All right, Derek.

I believe Robert is somewhere on his Midwestern swing of his training camp tour, which the point is to get intel and make connections and learn about the upcoming season.

From the sounds of it it he's doing an

incredible job looking forward to learning more about what he's picking up out there but in the

meantime the indirect consequence is like a crash course in you and i's chemistry which i really

appreciate like we just had this two week stretch to just play catch up on lot of stuff, and I appreciate it. Yeah, we're speed running the, you know, trying to work out all the kinks, which has been nice. This is like our preseason, you know, we're getting the reps that we need. We're, you know, pads are hitting all that stuff. And we're, we're getting back up to game speed. I think that's what we need. By the time he gets back, we're going to be a well-oiled machine.
