I believe 12 NFL games tomorrow can affect the seedings.

The only things locked in are the Packers as the NFC #1 seed and the Texans as the AFC #3 seed.

NFC....pretty simple

#1 Packers

#2 49ers if they defeat Rams or Saints lose to Panthers. Saints need to win and 49ers to lose.

#3 Saints or 49ers as above

#4 Giants vs Cowboys.....SNF Winner in, loser out.

#5 Detroit if they beat Green Bay or Falcons lose to Buccaneers OR Falcons if they win and Lions lose

#6 Likely Detroit, but Packers may rest stars

AFC is silly but:

#1 Patriots if the beat the Bills or if Ravens and Steelers lose. Ravens if Patriots lose and Ravens beat Bengals. Steelers if they beat Browns and Ravens and Patriots lose.

#2 Ravens if they beat Bengals and Patriots win or they can lose and Steelers lose. Steelers if Ravens lose and Steelers and Patriots win. Patriots if they lose and Ravens lose but Steelers win.

#3 Texans

#4 Broncos if they beat Chiefs or if Raiders lose. Raiders if they beat Chargers and Broncos lose.

#5 Steelers if Ravens win, Ravens if Ravens lose and Steelers win.

#6 Bengals if they beat Ravens OR Raiders and Jets both lose.

Jets IF they beat Miami AND Bengals and Titans both lose AND either Raiders or Broncos lose.

Titans IF they beat Houston AND Bengals loss and Denver and Oakland win. OR beat Texans and Cincy loss and Jets and Oakland win OR beat Texans, Bengals lose and Jets and Oakland win and Broncos lose.

Raiders IF they beat Chargers and Cincy and Jets lose.

I think these teams will win:

NE, Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, Titans and Jets win, with Bengals, losing

That would mean:

#1 Patriots
#2 Ravens
#3 Texans
#4 Broncos
#5 Steelers
#6 Titans?

Gonna be fun to watch!

I think:

The Jets/Dolphins is the most unpredictable. Who wouldn't want to keep Rex Ryan out of the playoffs?

The Chargers will give a piss poor effort and Oakland will have a gift-wrapped win.

The Broncos will get it done, mostly for the Mile High difference....or they just get killed.

The Bengals win a playoff-like game in highlight fashion....or lose by 20+

Texans give Tennessee a win....possible rematch next week

Falcons win against the worst team in the NFL

Saints/Panthers.....might be a great 45-42 game.

Packers lay down and play a tight game....Detroit goes all out to avoid New Orleans.

Bills make it tough on New England

Browns make it a toss up game with the Steelers.

Giants/Cowboys....not a clue. Pierre Paul vs Ware...best game wins for their team.

I'm not feeling it today. Seems like the Steelers keep falling a bit short in this AFC North race.

Either the Ravens will win in the closing seconds or the Ravens will lose but the Steelers will choke and lose, too.

New year, same non, but no one agrees with your thinking as much I do.
