Tampa
KC
Oakland
Atlanta(best record in football)
Indy


I just cannot see any of these teams doing much in the playoffs, but Atlanta just keeps on winning. Indy is so beat up I think they are now a pretender. Any other teams that are in playoff position that you think will either not make the playoffs or will get bounced early on?

Atlanta is a contender. They'll definitely be in it until the end. I think the NFC title game will be a rematch of their game today (vs Green Bay).

The rest won't do much if they make it into the playoffs.

Atlanta is tough at home. Their defense is quite up to the task and Ryan is very good at QB.....they certainly don't feel like a playoff team...but I think they are tougher than they look from the outside.

But honestly every team seems pretty beatable....playoffs should be fun...other than the GD referees.

I think I agree, but their defense is pretty damn good. It will keep them in every ball game they play.

Chicago will keep winning as long as they keep giving Cutler time to throw....he gets pressured he'll notch some big interceptions...but he can throw and the defense is good and they are tough at home.

IF the Steelers could somehow solve the NUMEROUS holding calls they are a contender....but they keep biting them almost too much.

I'll guess

Jets
Pats
Falcons
Saints

It's a tough tough call. I bet if I started a thread now that no one could get the final 4 teams.....in fact sounds fun.

Struggling against below average teams doesn't bode well for a deep play off run.

Maybe. The Jets "backed" into the playoffs last year and had a pretty good playoff run, no?

One thing is for sure....you can't win in the playoffs if you don't make it to the playoffs.

Bears will be good as long as Cutler keeps bangin' Kristen Cavalari(Laguna Beach chick).
