RACE TO THE PLAYOFFS

I think nfc west might get 3 teams in.

I think nfc west might get 3 teams in.

It'll be close and things will look a bit clearer after this weekend.

Seahawks don't face the toughest teams in the world but it's not going to be a walk in the park for them either with the Titans, Steelers, and Cardinals.

Rams still have the Saints, Giants, and 9ers to go. The Saints are right on the outside of a spot so they'll be a tough matchup but the Seahawks might've done the Rams a favor because if the 9ers win the next two they'll lock up the #1 seed and basically have nothing to play for so they'll likely have a vanilla gameplan and bench a few key starters for that one.

Yea I’m pretty sure I saw a stat that said if the Packers lost this week then the Seahawks control their own destiny, and I’m not fact checking that I’m just following it blindly.

Y'all not winning in the superdome

 

[Battlelyon]

Both teams need this Thursday night win. Should be a fun game.

 

[Tainthappening]

AFC is wide open. Not an elite team in the whole conference. Take one of Cowboys, Eagles, or Niners and put them in the AFC and they’re the run away favorite to go to the Super Bowl.

Presently SF, Dallas and Philly are 9-4 collectively vs AFC.

That is not a "run away favorite" record IMO.

2 big games this weekend.

• Ravens visiting SF - do think SF is best team in NFL right now
• Cowboys visiting Dolphins

It could easily be a Dolphin/49er Super Bowl

Not enough people talking about the Dolphins

The Dolphins are undisciplined, show poor ball security, and some of their defenders are tackle averse. They could beat any playoff opponent and they could lose to any playoff opponent. It's hard to see them going through a run of 4 playoff caliber opponents without self-destructing.

I think your Saints might need to win the division to get in. They're kinda behind on the tiebreakers.

We need the Rams or Minny to stumble and hope we win out to get in.

And need to be healthy. They have a brutal last 3 games to go through. Absolutely must take care of business at home vs. Dallas, imo or they could be in trouble.

That Dallas/Detroit has become big. Fortunately for Dallas they're playing at home.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

It's no clear cut favorite. None. This shit is wide open. Just the way I like it.

Being healthy always helps. Not sure the Dolphins seeding will matter. I don't see them getting the #1 seed or missing out completely. It's when and where it all goes wrong.

They can be healthy all they want. 1 & done.
