A Look at Football:
NFC East:
Cowboys (6-3)
Giants (6-3)
‘Skins (5-4)
NFC North:
Chicago (6-3)
NFC South:
Carolina (7-2)
Atlanta (6-3)
T Bay (6-3)
NFC West:
Seattle (7-2)
Eagles are pretty much out of the running at this point. Playoffs? I don’t even think they will go post this year.
Cowboys face off against Detroit (4-5), Denver (7-2), NY Giants (6-3), Kansas City (5-4), Washington (5-4), Carolina (7-2), and St. Louis (4-5), so the strength of their opponents schedule is that of a 38-25 mark. If the opponents uphold that winning percentage, the Cowboys will go 3-4 in the last seven and finish 9-7. If the Cowboys maintain their current winning percentage, they will go either 10-6 or 11-5.
The Giants, on the other hand, their remaining opponents have a 34-29 record, and if that holds true, then they should go 3-4 in their last seven, but more likely will win more than that. Realistically, I think the Giants have the upper hand the rest of the way, and the stats don’t lie. They do have the upper hand.
The Redskins pose an interesting thing. Their remaining opponents winning percentage is that of 47.62% or a record of 30-33. They are pretty much a shoe in for 4 games, and realistically, they can go 5-2 the rest of the way.
Chicago is pretty much in ink for the postseason, as is Seattle. Both are tops in their divisions, and no other team is above 5.
Carolina is my favorite for the South, but I am biased. Tampa is overrated. They can beat the bad teams, but no one with punch. For Tampa, numbers say they will win 3 of the last 7, but I think that is optimistic. I look at how they lost to San Francisco and were killed by the Cats; I think that with the strength of their schedule, they will be lucky to win 3. Look for Tampa to finish 8-8.
Carolina is going up against the Bears this coming Sunday. 5 of their last 7 games they play someone with a 6-3 mark. Should they split those, they could go 4-3 or 5-2, so maybe 11-5 or 12-4 at season end. Catch a bye and see them in the Division series? Most likely.
Atlanta is much like Dallas, a hard road ahead of itself. Same schedule strength, in that their opponents hold a 38-25 mark, but unlike Dallas, the records are more lopsided. Look for Atlanta to go 3-4 the rest of the way and finish 9-7, beating Detroit, Tampa once, and New Orleans.
Playoffs for the NFC:
NFC East:
Giants 10-6 (Wildcard)
Redskins 10-6 (Wildcard)
Cowboys 10-6 (Division Winner)
NFC North:
Chicago (In by Default)
NFC West:
Seattle (In by Default)
NFC South:
Carolina 11-5 (Division Winner)
Atlanta 9-7 (Doesn’t Go)
Tampa Bay 8-8 (Doesn’t Go)
Hopefully tomorrow I can do up the AFC. This was fun! Johnny Out.
