Packers win the SB in a blowout versus someone.

[ QUOTE ]
AFC East: New England (lucky their division is weak)
AFC North: Cincinnati (I believe!)
AFC South: Indianapolis
AFC West: Denver
Wildcard 1: San Diego (and they'll be dangerous as hell, but two games back is a lot)
Wildcard 2: Pittsburgh

AFC Champion: Indianapolis

NFC East: New York
NFC North: Chicago
NFC South: Atlanta (not that good, but easy schedule)
NFC West: Seattle
Wildcard 1: Carolina
Wildcard 2: Philadelphia (I think they can get it together enough to slip in)

NFC Champion: Atlanta (I think NY is better, but they'll likely have home field, plus I cheer for them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Super Bowl winner: Indianapolis (I kinda want to pick somebody else, but they're likely to have home field too, and nobody in the NFC is nearly as good.)

I think I just made a lot of BSP picks. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I mostly picked the teams that were leading their divisions, because even a one-game lead is significant with this few games in the NFL season.

Alright. Someone willing to actually post picks instead of just critiquing. In other words, bout time someone manned up with some predictions.

Atlanta's D has been far from "pretty awful". It's not great, but it's definitely good (note I didn't say "great"), and the best of the NFC teams in playoff contention other than the Bears IMO.

I just don't see how you can call Atlanta's defense good. Their run defense is one of the worst in the NFL and their pass defense has been a bit below average.

#10 in points allowed and they've played some decent offenses.

Sweet. Now I get to pick on you for selecting Cinci. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Atlanta's run defense is atrocious.

Points allowed is a shitty statistic. What decent offenses have they played, New England and maybe Philly? I could be overlooking someone.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I don't mean to nitpick, I just disagree very strongly on this Atlanta thing. I won't argue Cincy over Pitt very hard and I didn't bother to look at schedules for the rest of the way.
