You need to pay attention to standings and schedules, my friend.

2. Seattle Seahawks
5. Arizona Cardinals

You need to pay attention to standings and schedules, my friend.

If Seattle beats Arizona next week and/or they end up with the same record, Seattle wins the division.

But Seattle has to go to Arizona to win that game. Not saying it's impossible to do, but playing on the road is especially difficult when there's playoff implications.

not if you have the best defense in the league against a third string rookie...

It's not like Arizona has a really good defense tho.

[DemPGH]

I think it comes down to Denver, New England, GB, and Seattle (Arizona's QB situation will catch up at some point). They're really just light years ahead of everyone else, and in the Super Bowl I like at this point in time GB vs. New England.

Let's not forget that New England's defense is improved, but I don't know if it's enough to beat GB. GB has enough weapons to more or less negate Revis.

At this moment I would take GB against New England or Denver.

Idk I still think the seahawks repeat.

I'm hopping on that Eagles bandwagon now.

They might. This game in Arizona is huge, obviously. They seem to have fixed whatever personnel troubles or squabbles or whatever was going on in the early-middle part of the season. This will likely be the last hurrah for some of those guys because of the cap too, so they're gonna go pedal-to-the-floor. Especially that D.

I was disappointed in how GB played in Buffalo - didn't look like a team getting ready for a run.

So, uh, yeah.

I didn't say they couldn't win the game. I also said the Eagles would win the Super Bowl because, you know, division leaders don't usually lose to Washington with their playoff hopes on the line.

[JRP1994]

Now I'm praying fervently that the Bengals upset the Broncos tonight, securing home-field advantage for the Patriots.

lol Eagles

[DemPGH]

All 'bout that ACTION, boss.

Greatest run of the year and one of the best I've ever seen. Given how he trolls the media, he might be my favorite NFL player.

Amazing how these guys are putting it together right now. Don't look past the Rams, though, they get up for good teams.
