let's do a pretenders contenders thing. AFC First.

Buffalo, Colts, Denver and KC are all 2-0 in the AFC, pretenders? or Contenders.

i think all three will contend for playoff spots, KC and Denver have it tough tho, because with them and the raiders, probably the toughest Division in the NFL.

Washington, Carolina, Minnesota and Seattle, Pretenders or Contenders?

this conference is tougher, i think all four are going to struggle over the next three weeks and i expect at least 2 of them to be middle of the pack, tho carolina did win a VERY VERY tough road game.

Of the 0-2 Teams, San Diego may have the only change of making it, though its a small one.

Of the 2-0 teams, I'm guessing Minnesota and Indianapolis don't make the playoffs.

good picks, tho i'd pick minnesota ahead of the Redskins. they got lucky vs the falcons, they should be 1-1.

Denver and Philly are interesting.


denver is 2-0 on the road and is historically a GREAT home team.

Philly is 0-2 at home and is historically a pooor road team.

Anyone else notice that McNabb hasn't had the look of a guy who's ready to play this year. Before the game and during breaks, he looks like he's either bored or scared. Unless this guy turns his game around, Philly won't do anything.

OK here you go:
AFC East: Buffalo wins it
AFC North: Pit wins it
AFC South: Ten wins it, Ind wild card
AFC West: KC wins it, Den wild card

NFC East: Was wins it, philly wild card
NFC North: Min wins it
NFC South: Tam wins it
NFC West: Sea wins it, SF wild card

To answer you Question: 7 of the 8 teams who are 2-0 will make it (carolina will not) and 1 of the 0-2 teams will make it (philly will).

brave prediction.

i have a hard time seeing philly make it. i'll be surprised if they win 2 of their next 3. if they lose 2 of 3 as i suspect, they will be off to a 1-4 record. i seriously doubt they can come back from that.

Carolina has a good shot at the Wild Card. it will be interesting to see how they do vs Atlanta and NO, particularly NO who probably has one of the best Offenses in the game. Jacksonville and Tampa's Offenses just don't compare to that of NO.

I'm guessing that GB takes either the division or the wild card, and Philly gets bumped. They have a fairly easy schedule, which means they probably won't put up a good fight once in the playoffs.

Of the four undefeated teams in the NFC, Washington will not make the playoffs.
In the AFC, I don't see the Colts making the playoffs and between Denver and KC one will make it.

I could see three teams coming out of the NFC South for the playoffs depending on how the teams fair against non-divisional opponents. That win over Tampa was huge for Carolina.

I honestly can't see 2 teams coming from the NFC North, and I think the Vikings will win the division so that takes GB out. I think the NFC is much easier as a whole to guess, the AFC has a lot of good & dangerous teams. The NFC has

Anymore, football is pitiful. The league has expanded to the point that the talent pool is watered down. Then, free agency kicks in making it almost impossible to develop any player/team loyalty.:brokenheart:

Panthers are looking good this year. As long as Steven Davis stays healthy and the defense stays tough, the Panthers have a shot at a Wild Card bid...

Seahawks, Panthers, and Falcons are overrated.

Niners, Giants, and Colts are underrated.
