Those that have MIN in, and I agree, what NFC team is out?
Min was my next in line in the NFC, but that is the question. I put New Orleans in.
Everyone seems vulnerable.
Even the Rams. They have one of the worst schedules I've seen in awhile. Just nasty. They could go 10-7 and still be contenders

To answer your question
Min and/or NO could replace:
--Arizona
--San Francisco
--on of the two NFC East teams

just a guess.....

Left off San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Playoff berths expanded to seven for each conference since the 2020 regular season.

Seems there are usually 5 to 6 different teams each year, now with the extra playoff teams, could be as much as 7 teams.

It may be easier to pick which teams will miss. And I know many on here will say Dallas.
However I don't see that big of a change as maybe only 4 different teams this season.
Anyway I will go with 6 or 7.

OUT:
NE, Pittsburgh, LV
TB, Arizona, SF
possibly Philly

IN:
LAC, Baltimore (possible Colts instead), Denver (possible Colts instead), 2 or those 3 anyway to be in.
Minnesota, Carolina, NO
if no Philly, then TB stays in.

I am sure this as others will revise after TC.

I think Det could surprise with 7 teams getting in now. NFC north will be weak outside of GB and the Lions have a very weak schedule.
