Eagles won't even make the playoffs.

[Crushed Hope]

I'd love to see the Giants vs Colts as the super bowl. That'd be so great.

The true telling of how good the Bears are will come in the coming weeks as they actually play GOOD teams. Here is there remaining schedule

Tampa Bay
Green Bay
Steelers
Atlanta
Green Bay
Vikings

I wouldn't count Green Bay out either given the huge rivalry between the two teams.

[Crushed Hope]

I hope Green Bay kicks Chicago's ass. I'd hate to see my favorite team go down with as bad of a record as they have.

[edczxcvbnm]

Same here. I hope Green Bay wins tonight and finishes at least 6-8. I am not so hopeful that they will do better than that

[Raistlin]

I think the Packers will finish 4-12, maybe 5-11. 6-10 would be a stretch.

Steelers are going i know and the Colts are Definately going.

The Eagles I kinda doubt they are going and if they do go I doubt they will get far.

“I've been in the league 12 years now, and it's the best defense I've seen in 12 years. They do what they want to do. They gets sacks and they get takeaways and they play smart football. They might be the closest to that Bears defense of '85 that I've seen. ”
—Panthers DT Brentson Buckner

I don't think anybody will beat the Colts.

For the NFC I take Carolina. If the Bears make it that will be really boring.

Playoffs
AFC - Colts, Steelers, Patriots, Broncos, Bengals, Jaguars (kind of easy)

NFC - Seahawks, Bears, Panthers, Cowboys, Giants, Falcons

[Raistlin]

The Seahawks are the only consistent team in the NFC. I would've said Carolina before this week.

The Colts are extremely consistent, as are the Steelers when they have Roethlisberger. They beat the Bengals with Roethlisberger, but without him they couldn't even beat the weak Ravens. Go figure. The Broncos are also very consistent. The Bengals, Jags, and Patriots will all make runs, but they'll fall short.

I can't wait for Indy vs. Pittsburgh. That should be a good game.

[Crushed Hope]

Damn Minnesota. Green Bay should have won that game. v_v

[Dingo Jellybean]

All this talk of Seattle, they are the weakest 8-2 team I can ever remember. They are seriously overated...but the NFC is a weak conference anyways.

But of course it matters not who comes from the NFC, as the AFC will win the title for the 5th in 6 years. No one is stopping Indy, not Pitt with Roth, and not Cincy with Chad Johnson.

I still think Indy's defense is overated...especially giving up that many points against the Bengals. They are an average defense at best...but it's the best defense they've had in years. When you have such an explosive offense with an average defense, no one beats you...now if Baltimore only had an average offense.

In the NFC I'll take Chicago, NY, Seattle, and Carolina as the top 4 with Chicago and NY taking byes (yes, I do think Seattle will choke). The two Wild Cards will probably be between Washington, Dallas, and Tampa Bay. Minnesota will choke. I'll give the two cards to Dallas and Tampa Bay (even though I think Washington will beat Dallas again this year).

In the AFC it's Indy, Pitt, New England, and San Diego was WC winners (even though Denver has a 2 game lead on SD). I have Cinci and Denver was WC.

But it's Indy's superbowl to lose. Anyone who says otherwise have been watching a different league.

The Seahawks are the only consistent team in the NFC. I would've said Carolina before this week.

The Colts are extremely consistent, as are the Steelers when they have Roethlisberger. They beat the Bengals with Roethlisberger, but without him they couldn't even beat the weak Ravens. Go figure. The Broncos are also very consistent. The Bengals, Jags, and Patriots will all make runs, but they'll fall short.

I can't wait for Indy vs. Pittsburgh. That should be a good game.

Baltimore always plays Pittsburgh hard, regardless of how much talent each team has. When the Steelers had Roth in Pitt, Baltimore loss 20-19. Two years ago when Baltimore won the division, they had one last game against Pitt. Baltimore already clinched, but still played all their players beat Pitt 9-6 or something.

The Broncos are only consistent during their first 11 games. They'll stumble into the playoffs like they always do. And Seattle is only consistent because their schedule is consistently weak. They played Arizona twice, St. Louis twice, Houston, and San Francisco. Not exactly a tough schedule considering these teams are a combined 10-30 with no winning records up to week 10. That's 6 victories right there...and they struggled against a very weak San Fran.

[Crushed Hope]

So, I am really betting that the Lions will WIN tomorrows game, I just don't see them losing it, even though they are facing a good team.

[RSL]

I hope the Lions win!

[Kirobaito]

I don't know what it takes to get a kicker that can hit a 30-yard field goal. But if the Cowboys had managed to have one, they'd be 10-1.

1) Washington
2) Seattle
3) Denver
