I don't think the Cardinals (3-8) can be considered in the hunt anymore. Theres' only 5 games left and they're bound to lose at least 2 more. The Rams and Seahawks would both have to collapse for them to have a shot.

What's scary is that this year, there could be 4 wildcard teams with better records than 3 of the division champs (NFC and AFC West, AFC South). Think about it...

I know it's only Week 13 coming up but.....

2008: Joe Flacco/Matt Ryan
2009: Mark Sanchez
2010: Sam Bradford??

Could we see another rookie QB lead his team into the playoffs? Now if the Rams do get into the playoffs I see more of a 1 & done deal like Atlanta was in 2008, but still that would be impressive if the Rams can win the NFC West, and host a playoff game.

Sam Bradford is a good pick since he is in the junior division. Seattle-Rams week 17 will be a great game. Usually it would suck. But I have a feeling it will be like the Thunderdome. One team enters, one team leaves. Can only be one playoff team in that division.

I went for Jets and Eagles. I feel they are going to shine in the post season. Just my opinion. I love the Ravens but our O Line is shoddy right now and our passing game isnt clicking the way it should.

I wont make a SB prediction. Every team has at least one major flaw. I think it will be the teams who get the hottest in December.

The Rams are definitely going to clinch the NFC West. The Seahawks are bound to lose some vital games to lose their lead. SF is too far behind and too shaky to take the lead. I don't even have to talk about AZ's chances...

[purple.n.black]

I said Ravens vs Bears. Ravens for obvious reasons. And Bears I don't think are that great. But they are getting better. They have that defense and ground game to keep them going in January. WIth Atlanta the main thing they would have going for them is home-field advantage. There is still a chance they could lose that, but I think come playoff time there will be a team great enough to win in Atlanta if need be.

Ok Raise your hand if you thought the words Rams, Playoffs, Division Title would have been used in the same sentence heading into this season?? Any takers..... thank you parity in the NFL this season showing us that you can take a 2nd team from 1-15 and the 1st pick in the Draft to the playoffs(Miami did it in 08) and thank you parity in the NFL for the possibility of no Colts or Chargers in the AFC Playoffs.
