NFL 季後賽猜想

There is still a Monday Night Football, but its result won't impact the picture of the playoff. When only 4 rounds left, the competition for the playoff spots is getting hot: AFC: Sorry for my Patriots' terrible performance this season, it caused quite a few teams are still in hope for the wild cards, including my girlfriend's Steelers. AFC East, Patriots (7-5) will win the division with no trouble. The rest 3 teams can start practicing for next season now. AFC North, what a HUGE win at Pittsburgh for Bengals (9-3) yesterday!! If they lost the game, they would have switched positions with Steelers (7-5), although both of them might get into the playoffs together. But now, with 7-5, Pittsburgh will need to manage 3 more wins to maintain the hope for a wild card. However, look at their schedule, Bears and Vikings might take two more wins away from them. If they finish with 9-7, they probably will have to say good-bye to this season, and can we replace Bill Cowher, or it's even more to ask than asking BCS to change their system? AFC South, Colts (12-0) RULES, everywhere! Then it comes the Jaguars (9-3). They might be the last hope to stop Colts, but if they fail, they can still easily finish with 12-4, then become the 1st Wild Card. Of course, they will play my Patriots at the stadium where we won the Super Bowl last year! AFC West, Broncos(9-3) lost yesterday, which makes the coming 4 rounds very interesting for this division. However, Broncos will still win the division, because they only have one tough game vs Chargers (8-4) left. If they manage to enjoy the comfortable sea bleeze on New Year Eve, they will be happy to play a Wild Card team, probably from the same division of its own, so don't be surprised to see back-to-back games between Chargers and Broncos. Chargers have better chance than Chiefs (8-4) to get the last Wild Card, simply because its better schedule than Chiefs. Of course, this "better" is really not that much better, but Chiefs can only have a break till the New Year Day when playing Bengals. Before that, they might have two more losses (visiting Cowboys (7-5) and Giants (8-4) who both need wins to secure their spots) before playing Chargers on Christmas Eve. So if you can watch Chargers at Chiefs on Christmas Eve, DO IT!!! I will be at Vegas enjoying my pocket ACE then. ;) NFC: Who cares, ;) Just bring up the Seahawks, and any AFC playoff teams will take care of it (except my Patriots ;))
