And in regards to the Sal Alosi trip, that's not something that just happens. A strength and conditioning coach doesn't decide to overtly cheat unless: a. he's got money on the game, or b. he's trying to impress a cast of scumbag coaches into eventually getting a coaching job. Don't ever feel bad for this team.

But how about we talk playoffs.

The NFC playoff race is honestly a lot more interesting than the AFC. Even if Atlanta loses to the Saints (which I think they will) then they still take the division.

I think New Orleans needs and 11th win to own their wild card spot. They'll get it but not easily. They've got to play Baltimore, Atlanta, and Tampa (3 teams in their own playoff hunt) to get it. They can beat Baltimore, but not without the Ravens taking a chunk out of them. The New Orleans/Atlanta match on Monday night in 2 weeks is the biggest thing left on the schedule. I think New Orleans, the way they're playing now, might be the most dangerous team in the NFC, and could take the conference.

The Packers losing Aaron Rodgers for even a game might just cost them the playoffs. They've got to go New England, NYG, Chicago and win at least 2 to have a realistic chance. It all hinges on Rodgers coming back.

Don't crown the Eagles the NFC east champs just yet. They've got 3 worthwhile games left.

My picks:
1. Atlanta
2. Chicago (the bye week the only thing keeping them from a 1st round blowout)
3. Philadelphia
4. NFC West Winner aka Who Cares. I'll take San Francisco at 8-8 for the long shot.
5. New Orleans
6. Giants (I'd love to pick Green Bay or Tampa as a dark horse pick, but solely based off the schedule I think the Giants have the easiest path to 10-11 wins).

AFC

1. Patriots (Where have I seen this before?)
2. Pittsburgh (Enormous separation between 1 and 2 seeds. I say Pittsburgh hangs in there as #2 because of their cream puff schedule: Jets, Panthers, Browns).
3. Chiefs (KC has the schedule to go 11-5, but will they? They face one team that's given up, one team that shouldn't be in a playoff race but is, and one team that thinks they're in a playoff race but isn't).
4. I've come to terms with the fact that the AFC South is impossible to predict. But as it stands Jacksonville has 1st place, and a better conference record than the Colts.
5. Baltimore (Their play is always up and down, but they're a big threat going into the post season. They're built nicely for a playoff run. And built even nicer to take it to the AFC championship game and blow it with 400 yards in penalties).
6. Jets (The 6 seed needs 10 wins. They'll get it, but it'll take them till week 17 in an overtime battle with the Bills that involves a huge mistake on the Bills part bailing out Mark Sanchez again).
