Who wins the NFC Championship?

[WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE]

The Bills and Bengals square off tonight, so we'll leave the AFC alone for now.

Currently we have the following seeding:

1. Eagles (13-3)
2. 49ers (12-4)
3. Vikings (12-4)
4. Bucs (8-8)
5. Cowboys (12-4)
6. Giants (9-6-1)

The Bucs and Giants are locked in the 4th and 6th spot. Everybody else is in flux. The Eagles can win that #1 spot, if they can beat the Giants. A Cowboy win and an Eagle loss, would mean the Cowboys win the NFC East.

The last spot could go to the Seahawks, Lions, or Packers.

The 49ers have a rookie quarterback. No rookie quarterback has started in a Super Bowl before. Shaun King, Mark Sanchez, and Big Ben came very close to that honor.

I know some people will give me a lot of flak for this, but I think it's gonna be Dallas. They're playing as well as anyone out there minus the Dak INT's, many of which aren't his fault on tape.

Eagles look a lot different without Hurts. Maybe we should reconsider this MVP thing.

Hurts would have my 2nd place vote. Especially if he plays next week.

If the Eagles get the number one seed, it’s the Eagles.

I see the petty there with the New Jersey Giants there, @WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE, it's approved.

Well, we know it's not the Vikings.

Which state do the Giants play again?

I actually do agree with you about the Cowboys. They are my pick at the moment to go to the Super Bowl.

9 teams?

All the teams with a mathematical chance at the playoffs, it looks like.

Philly.

49ers Should be everyone’s favorites at this point.

Best defense out of the bunch.

And if you look at the weaknesses of the Eagles and Cowboys (the other two best teams) and the 49ers crush them in a head to head matchup. Neither of those defenses will be able slow down the 49ers running and short passing game.

That is correct. There's only one seed left open. It comes down to the 8-8 teams.

I have a tough time trusting Mr. Irrelevant or Jimmy G, but it's tough to deny the 49ers are legit.

Assuming Hurts is healthy I think they're still the easy favorite.

Dont trust the Niners QB or the Cowboys head coach. Also not sure the Niners have had the toughest schedule or anything

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

49ers comfortably.

to me there is only 2 legit answers.

Whole nother level of intensity and speed in the playoffs. Purdy will look like Jalen Hurts last year.

Then if they ever manage to get up 17 points Shanahan will go conservative and blow the game.

My issue with the 49ers is Brock Purdy. If Jimmy G can come back for the Super Bowl or the playoffs sure, go with the 49ers. But I am looking at what Jalen Hurts brings to the table and how hungry Prescott is, trying to make up for the fatal mistake last season.

Well, we know it's not the Vikings.

or the Cowboys, they were done mid-September
