I like Jaguar's predictions (especially Steelers win Superbowl - that would finally give them one for the thumb). I question St. Louis and New York (G) because they suck, but then the rest of the NFC sucks too. |
St. Louis will win their division. The Seahawks won't even be close by the season's end. Their schedule was incredibly easy, and they could only pull of a 5-6 record. StL has beat them twice in a convincing fashion when they've played head to head. Seattle has never beaten a team with a winning record this season. Never.
The New York Giants are actually an ok team, and Tiki Barber will ultimately propel them to a wildcard spot. They've beaten Green Bay and Minnesota, so I think they can probably beat the Cowboys, the Browns, and the Redskins, who are the remaining teams on their schedule.
Maybe these teams aren't great, but look who they're up against. The other contenders for the second wildcard spot are:
1. The Seahawks, who have yet to beat a better-than-average team. Their wins are over to San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans, Carolina, and Tampa Bay. The best of these teams, Carolina, is 4-7. When they face a mediocre team like the Bills, they get destroyed. Remaining on the Seahawk's schedule are games against the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, and Atlanta Falcons. As far as I'm concerned, that's three losses already. They'll be 7-9 without the tiebreaker against St Louis at the end of the season. And that's provided that they can beat the Cardinals and the Cowboys.
2. The Cowboys. They are 4-7 overall, and in the last eight games they are 2-6. Supposing that they pull themselves together and improve significantly, the best they can do is 8-8. They've got a game against the Eagles left. They also have to deal with the Giants again. I doubt they can win both of these games, especially given how they were trounced the last time they played each of these teams.
3. The Carolina Panthers. They are also 4-7. However, they have won three in a row recently. However, these wins have been against abysmal teams, such as San Francisco. They have an Atlanta game left, and a St. Louis game left.
IMO, it's perfectly reasonable to think that StL and NYG will make the playoffs, at 8-8 or 7-9.
