    Right now the Rams are actually chasing the Falcons and Vikings.

    I know, I know, I know. Waaaaaay too early to worry about such things.

    Still….

    The Panthers are leading the NFC South but it’s by a half game, really. The Falcons are next at 6-1.

    The Packers are going to win the NFC North. Next are the Vikes at 4-2.

    Those are the wild cards as of today.

    However, the 7th seed are the Rams at 3-3.

    Rams play AT Minnesota in two weeks so that’s a big game.

    In week 12 the Vikes play the Falcons.

    The Falcons(other than a couple games with the Panthers)have a very easy schedule. I don’t think they’re as good as their 6-1 record but they can do well with their schedule.

    The Vikes have it much tougher AND the Rams play them.

    So that’s the spot. That’s it. That’s the Rams playoff spot this year.

    Or….they’re only one game behind the Cards. Maybe…….

    Well, that’s quite a heavy burden you’re placing on me. I’ll certainly need a pay raise. Stock options are acceptable.

    Okay–forget all that. I’ll do what I can–but if the Rams begin to slide I’m done. It just gets frustrating at that point. I will only live in my happy world.

    Apart from the Rams’ division games I’d call that Vikings’ game a must-win to have a shot at a playoff berth. Long way to go but could be a factor come late December.

    If you assume both Minnesota (vs. Chicago) and the Rams (vs. SF) win this weekend, then they’re both in wildcard contention.

    A Rams win vs. the Vikings would have them both at 5-3 but the Rams would have not only the head-to-head tiebreaker but a 4-2 record in the NFC vs. 3-2 for Minnesota.

    Minn is doing well but they lost to the only good team they’ve played so it’s hard to get an accurate read on them. Still, beating the Vikings on the road will be difficult.
