That's a huge game for both teams. I'm not sure if the Niners are back on track but they are playing a lot better. The Vikes are an enigma., especially Cousins. They have all the talent to be a contender but find ways to fail just when you think they are legit. Cousins needs to show up more consistently when the lights get bright. That happens and they could upset a lot of teams.Very tall task
But if the Vikes beat the 49ers they are sitting really well.
Doubtful on that one
The Patriots and Bills 2 games are going to be huge coming up. The Colts will have a say in things as well. They crushed the Bills and play the Patriots in a couple weeks. Indy likely can't win the division because of the 2 losses to the Titans but they have some huge games down the stretch that if they win, could make them a scary team to face in January.It does seem like a legit SB contender will for sure get knocked out in the NFC in the #4/#5 game with either the Rams or Cardinals being in that 5 seed. There is a growing possibility the same might happen in the AFC if the Patriots go on a run.
Colts still have to play the Bucs, New England, and Arizona so you are probably right that they wont catch the Titans even if their offense looks a bit lost without Henry. I think we'll see where the Colts are at after those three tests, though.The Patriots and Bills 2 games are going to be huge coming up. The Colts will have a say in things as well.

5-6 weeks ago I posted that NFC was +6 vs AFC... AFC has turned the tables and now +4 vs NFC. NFC presently all the division winners 2+ game lead, in AFC only Titans have 2 game lead.
Therefore the fight for last playoffs spots in NFC are teams below 500 and in AFC above 500.
