Playoff races.....

[meatpile]

Cool Stuff.

NFC North:

Minesota is 8-6, and has to play Kansas City and Arizona (in Arizona)

Green Bay is 8-6, and has to play Oakland and Denver (Denver will be fighting for a spot, too)

I predict Green Bay wins it at 9-7, and gets the tiebreaker against the Vikes.

NFC West:

Seattle is 8-6 and has to play Arizona and San Fran. San Fran would love to knock them out.

NFC East:

Dallas, 9-5, plays at home against NYG and in New Orleans, who could be battling for a playoff spot. Week 17 for Dallas and New Orleans is likely an early playoff game. Too cool.

NFC South:

New Orleans and Tampa still have a pulse.

Tampa is 9-7 and gets Atlanta on Saturday, and then the Titans in week 17. Ouch.

New Orleans is 9-7 and plays in Jacksonville and versus Dallas.

Wow.

So - If New Orleans, Seattle, Tampa, and Minnesota all finish 9-7 and Dallas is 10-6 - which 9-7 team gets the final spot?

Someone else do the AFC, I'm tired.

Go Dolphins!

I'll try.......

AFC East
Patriots 12-2 Division clinched

Dolphins 8-5 need help
Eagles (tonite)
@ Buffalo
Jets

AFC South
Colts 11-3 clinched playoff berth
Denver
@ Houston

Titans 10-4 in as of now, but
@ Houston
Tampa Bay

AFC North
Bengals 8-6 not yet
@ St. Louis
Cleveland

Ravens 8-6 not yet
@ Cleveland
Pittsburgh

AFC West
KC 12-2 clinched Division title

Broncos 9-5 in as of now, but
@ Indy
@ Green Bay

Patriots 12-2-0, 3-1, 9-1
Chiefs 12-2-0, 5-1, 10-2
Colts 11-3-0, 4-1, 8-2
Bengals 8-6-0, 3-2, 6-5
Titans 10-4-0, 3-2, 7-4
Broncos 9-5-0, 5-1, 8-3
Dolphins 8-5-0, 2-2, 5-5
Ravens 8-6-0, 2-2, 5-5

Bengals would win AFC North based on better division record than Ravens (tie breaker), but have to play at St. Louis next.
Titans are OK IMO, looking at wild card though
Broncos looking good but have two tough road games remaining.
Dolphins need to win...lose tonite and they are hurting
Ravens opened a Pandoras box by losing at Oakland, must beat Browns AND Steelers IMO.
Colts have yet to lock up the AFC South, but one win should clinch it for them, could go down to last week of season though as they host Denver this week.

Did I miss anything?

My guess

1. Philly
2. St. louis
3 Panthers
4. Pack
5. Dallas
6. Vikings

I haven't looked at the tiebreakers but I think the both the Pack and Vikes have the upper hand vs Seattle or other possible WC contenders (Bucs, aints)

AFC

1. Pats
2. Colts
3. Chiefs
4. Bengals
5. Titans
6 Ravens

Question...

Hypothetically:

The top 2 seeds are Rams and Eagles.

They both lose.

Does the #3 seed then get the home game?

Yes

As it looks to me . . .


Carolina hosts Dallas

Green Bay hosts Seattle


Indy hosts Denver

Baltimore hosts Tennessee


We are really going to need Davis and Mitchell at 100% to keep the Pokes D honest and Morgan at 100% to keep Carter from scrambling us. I guess Indy stands the best chance of blowing out their opponent, especially if Manning gets hot at any point. A gimpy McNair means that the Ravens keep it close. GB and Sea looks like a tight one and a nasty hard-hitting grudge match with the Holmgren factor. The Super Bowl will be when the Pats and Chiefs square off and I’m thinking either Chiefs/ Rams or Pats/ Eagles would be the best SB match ups.
Maybe next year for us with a great draft and free agency period.

That's some funny shit when the visiting WC team has a better record than the hosting division winner, and probably will be favored.

 

[rake]

Yeah, I wonder how much Dallas and Tennessee would be favored by.

As of now....

Looks as if the Panthers will be hosting Green Bay or Dallas in the first round. All the Vikings need to do is win in Arizona next week to clinch their division. The Pack is @ Oakland and home vs. Denver. Dallas is at home vs. Giants and @ New Orleans. Seattle has an outside chance but needs help, they have Arizona and @ San Francisco left on their schedule. The Saints are more than likely done, even if they win out they still need lots of help.
