In December? Anyone can win. Just get in.Who actually thinks anyone outside the Saints, Rams, Pats, Steelers and Chiefs have a legit shot?

I want to say Packers, Giants and Ravens were around there.Hasn’t there been two or three 9-7 sixth seeds that ended up in the Super Bowl in the last ten years or so?
That will changewhat cracks me up is that the nfc east is garbage yet at this moment in time we have 2 teams in the playoffs...cracks me up....
That will change
It's why we play the games and the bookies eat their shorts for breakfast.That's the beauty of it. It CAN happen, if not, why even bother. May as well move on to basketball.
The parity is what the NFL wants. The league would love for all the teams to be 8-8 to finish. Dallas may take the L against the Saints, which would deadlock the division with four games to go. Dallas will need to win out to control their own fate. Dallas is primed to make noise.
The Colts, Eagle, Bucs and Giants should all be wins. Don't be surprised when Dallas beat the Saints. This team has a ton of momentum to beat the Saints.
Dallas will beat the Saints 27-24
It’s become mostly a QB dominated league in Cap era. It’s basically the only position you hang on to for a career.yeah but it is intriguing how top heavy the league is this year...
Interesting table of numbers. Doesn't proceed like I thought it might. Fourth and sixth seeds are about twice as likely to win as the respective third and fifth seeds.In 1975 the NFL went to a seeding system. The 1st and 2nd seeds have produced about 75% of the SB winners.
1st seed. 55%
2nd seed 21%
3rd seed 5%
4th seed. 10%
5th seed. 2%
6th seed. 5%
This was as of 2014

Yep , Bookies clean house on NFL as it’s their most profitable sport. Most fans bet their hearts not their minds.It's why we play the games and the bookies eat their shorts for breakfast.
Yea, I think that’s reflective of a couple teams which have made runs this era.Interesting table of numbers. Doesn't proceed like I thought it might. Fourth and sixth seeds are about twice as likely to win as the respective third and fifth seeds.

There’s always hope however remote it is.I never give up on the Cowboys. It's stupid, I know, but I like to die with my boots on.
Thanks. I have always liked Michael Madsen, even in his bad flicks. Paint shopped the scene from Kill Bill II where he gets chewed out for being late at the seedy strip joint.Cool avatar!
The patriots playing in a joke division and getting a free 1st round bye inflates/pads the numbers on first round bye teams making the superbowl.But that’s not the norm. It’s why it’s called an upset.
