Interesting predictions, Mack.
Your fingers to God’s ears (only slightly less gross than the traditional “Your lips to God’s ears” (why does it need ears in the first place?)).
You have 1 too many Wild Card teams in the NFC.
First, the NFC West. I see Seattle winning this by November. The 9ers have looked shaky this pre-season. I think injuries, coupled with defections and the suspension will have them down, maybe even out of the playoffs (at least I hope so). Of course I want the Rams to make the playoffs, but I still think we’re a year away. I wouldn’t be saying this if we had the Bradford – Hill tandem, but expecting Hill to lead us to the playoffs this year maybe t much to ask, unless our D is near the top of the league in total defense, take-aways and (most important) running yards allowed. I think Arizona is going to be good.
Seattle home field throughout playoffs, Arizona wild card.
Eagles out of the East.
Saints out of the South
Packers and Lions out of the North
I think you have Houston too high. I think the Colts take that division with ease.
Denver and the Chargers from the West
Bengals from the North
Pats and Jets from the East
