NFC playoff picture
First, the divisional leaders:
NFC North - Chicago Bears (7-3), Minnesota Vikings (5-5)The Vikings could catch the Bears, but it’s unlikely. However, the schedule is in the Vikings favor. Their last six games: Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Chicago. They could conceivably win 4 or 5 of their last six.
Chicago on the other hand has Tampa Bay, Green Bay (twice), Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Minnesota. It’ll be tough to beat Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, or Atlanta. They should beat both Green Bay and Minnesota.
Division Winner: Chicago Bears (10-6)
NFC East - New York Giants (7-3), Dallas Cowboys (7-3)The Giants schedule isn’t doing them any favors. They have Seattle, Dallas, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Washington and Oakland. They’ll be hard pressed to win all of them, but they should win 4, putting them at 11-5.
Dallas doesn’t have an easy schedule either, playing Denver, New York Giants, Kansas City, Washington, Carolina, and St. Louis. They’ll beat St. Louis, and probably Washington, but probably only win 2 of the other four, putting them at 11-5.
Division Winner: New York Giants (11-5) - due to a win over the Cowboys
NFC South - Carolina Panthers (7-3), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3), Atlanta Falcons (6-4)This division is wide open for the taking. All three have very good teams, but one of them won’t make the playoffs.
The Panthers have to play Buffalo, Atlanta (twice), Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Dallas. They’ll have a tough time beating a desperate Falcons team twice, and Dallas may pose some problems. They should finish at around 11-5.
Tampa Bay has to play Chicago, New Orleans (twice), Carolina, New England, and Atlanta. They’ve already beat Atlanta - in Atlanta, and could do it again at home. They should be able to walk over New Orleans both times, but New England and Carolina will give them some problems. They should go either 3-3 or 4-2 down the stretch, finishing at 11-5 or 10-6.
The Falcons have Detroit, Carolina (twice), New Orleans, Chicago and Tampa Bay left. They won’t beat Carolina twice, but they should be able to get wins over Detroit and New Orleans. That might be the only wins they get, finishing 10-6 or 9-7.
Divisional Winner: Carolina Panthers (11-5)
NFC West - Seattle Seahawks (8-2)The Seahawks will win this division hands down.
Wild Card
That leaves the two wild card spots for Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Dallas, and Minnesota to fight over.
Minnesota already lost to both Tampa Bay and Atlanta, so if they finished tied with either team they’ll be bypassed. Result - Minnesota out of the playoffs.
Dallas has one heck of a schedule to go through, and won’t finish any better than 11-5, and could very easily fall to 10-6. However, they should be able to grab the wild card spot, as either Tampa Bay or Atlanta will fall behind them.
That leaves the Bucs and the Falcons for the last wild card spot. The Buccaneers are a game ahead, have a softer schedule, and have already beat the Falcons - in Atlanta. It will be extremely difficult for the Falcons to catch them, especially with two games against the Panthers. That gives Tampa Bay the last wild card spot.
