Well this is the time that we start to look at who's gonna be playing in January and who's "Goin' Fishin" (In the words of NBA Analyst Kenny Smith). I'll do these often as the season progress, but this is my initial one......So here's who I think will be in the playoffs:
AFC
1. Baltimore Ravens
2. New York Jets
3. Houston Texans
4. Kansas City Chiefs
5. Pittsburgh Steelers
6. New England Patriots
With the Ravens big win over the Steelers, thus winning the season series, and beating the Jets earlier this year will help this team retain the #1 seed in the AFC and its up to them to lose it. The Jets should round out the AFC North division, unless the Pats beat them at MetLife this weekend, Texans will win the South by default and the Chiefs as of right now, will win the West, but that could come down the the final two weekends of the season (see schedule on ESPN.com). Steelers and Pats will make two very tough wild-cards for the AFC.
NFC
1. Green Bay Packers
2. San Francisco 49ers
3. New York Giants
4. Tampa Bay Bucs
5. New Orleans Saints
6. Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers will have the #1 spot....period! However, at #2 things can get interesting as the Giants vs. 49ers match-up this weekend will pretty much decide this seed. Huge game for both teams, but I do believe that the 49ers will put this one out. Tampa Bay will round out the division (only person who still believe that the Bucs can win the NFC South). I know that the Bucs schedule is pretty tough, I still think they can pull out some wins and since they have 2 divisional wins already, that should help them out with tie-breakers. The Saints can easily be the #2, #3, or #4 but I think they would be a wild-card again. Huge win from the Bears yesterday. As they beat the Eagles, Falcons, and Bucs, the Bears put themselves in GREAT position for one of the wild-card and possibly the NFC North.
