now that the playoffs are set and you no longer have to speculate how do you see things playing out in the NFL? I think NE and Pittsburgh are on a collision course for the AFC title - I just don't see Jacksonville winning in Pittsburgh again, especially if it's as fricking cold as it i right now. In the NFC, Wentz being out out for the Eagles leaves things wide open - I don't have faith that Fowles can win 2 games, let alone 3. Carolina would have to win 3 in a row on the road so I don't see that happening. Brees has been there before but they also have to win 3 games. I like Minnesota or New Orleans to make it from the NFC.

In my pre-season Calcutta, I bought the AFC and NFC South divisions... so, I have Jax, New Orleans, Car, and ATL.
Sadly, I don't see much chance for anything other than Minn/Phi vs New England Super Bowl.
New Orleans MIGHT have a chance, now that they actually have a running game. But, they've picked up some key injuries on defense. I just don't think they have enough now to win in the playoffs... although, I'd LOVE to see it.

Carolina would have to win 3 in a row on the road so I don't see that happening. Brees has been there before but they also have to win 3 games. I like Minnesota or New Orleans to make it from the NFC. In the AFC, I still like Jacksonville. They have one of the strongest Defenses in the NFL, a good running game and emerging receivers. New England is still the favorite though. Pittsburgh has star players, but I don't trust their defense. Kansas City might make some noise, although I don't think they'll make it to the Super Bowl. my prediction for the AFC Championship: New England vs. Jacksonville I think the NFC is wide open...I don't trust Foles for the Eagles either, I think they are ripe for the picking. I really like the Saints and Vikings...one of those teams will probably win the NFC. I think Carolina gets booted this weekend. I'm obviously going for the Falcons. If they beat the Rams, they'll head to Philadelphia, and I think they can beat the crippled Eagles. Can the Falcons beat the Rams? I really have no idea... If the Falcons win, that will send the Saints to Minnesota If the Rams win, they will head to Minnesota, and the Saints will most likely beat Carolina and Philly. So, ultimately, I think we will get either Saints-Falcons or Vikings-Saints for the NFC Championship so we're looking at Jacksonville/New England vs. New Orleans/ Atlanta/ Minnesota. If I was forced to bet money at gunpoint, I'd pick New England over Minnesota. Or Maybe the stars will align and the Vikings will win their first Super Bowl in their own stadium should be a fun January! No Seahawks, Cowboys, Packers, or Broncos....there is a lot of new blood this year |

If you are a team in the NFC wildcard round, you want to win your game and hope you play Philly instead of Minnesota. I think New Orleans has a great chance. They are playing really good this year...they swept Carolina and will get the Panthers and their anemic offense at home again. The team no one can ignore in the NFC is Minnesota...they are playing excellent football. |

Dude, you need to back away from the ledge, the Falcons don't have a chance in hell of beating the Rams. Atlanta only made the playoffs because, every other team in the NFC sucks balls. They are one, and done,,.. BANK on it.
Minnesota is playing the best ball of anyone, outside of Foxboro.
