Dallas might luck out and get the 3 seed though since the NFC North no one wants to take that division either. Getting the 3 is a huge upside as instead of getting the 4 and having to play Carolina or New Orleans like stated, they will have to play the likes of Arizona, San Francisco, Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit. None are to scary at all especially on the road.
Either way though, in my eyes I only see Seattle, New Orleans or Carolina going to the Super Bowl. And whoever has homefield through out, especially if its the Seahawks or Saints, have a great odds in their favor.
On the other hand, who knows about the AFC. You think the Broncos have everything figured out in their favor, if Patriots don't turn the ball over all game the game wouldn't have been even close. I just can't wait to see Denver still get homefield and it to be 25 degrees and snowing in January in Denver. What will Peyton do then? Let Moreno kill himself again with 40 touches?
Shaping up to be a pretty unpredictable year for the most part, and it only gets more interesting from here on out.
Last thing, prediction for the future, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing in a second round playoff game this year. Mark my words.
