Clearing Up the NFL Playoff Picture

Usually at this point in the regular season, Most of us can understand Who will be in the playoff picture NFL? At least for the most part. However, only three weeks in the NFL regular season, image playoff (except the current winners section) is muddy as ever.

Getting Started the AFC, the East is at an impasse in Miami, New England and New York all tied for first place. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are only separated by a game in the North, who play between them this week. Tennessee has ended South, but the Colts seem very sneaky interesting. (Shh! Do not tell anybody, but they've won six straight). And it allows even talking about the dismal West.

Now you can say all you want for New England and New York in the East but you can not say enough about Miami Dolphins. No team has done what they done so far, turning a Former team at 1-15 legitimate candidate playoff. And most give credit to Bill Parcells, who well deserves, and has made many big moves in the front office the Dolphins, but I will give to Tony Sparano. system gains not only matches, and maximize the use of player talent in golf. More and Ricky Williams are quietly with a good year, and Chad Pennington has shocked us all. Sparano will be up there for coach of the year and is without question the coach of the year in my book.

Most likely the Jets and Dolphins will win out until the last game of the season with both having weak schedules (except the 49ers continue to drop and drop the Dolphins this week, but I see it happens), so I downloaded the Dolphins / matchup Week 17 Jets at Giants Stadium. Now, we all know it will be cold, very cold, and we all know What succeeds in cold weather. The function game. Look to see Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams runs wild while Favre throws a pair takes too much. The Jets offense 'Is very controversial, and we expect see Sparano pulled some tricks out his sleeve to get the amazing Dolphins to the playoffs. Now I bet you did not were saying this before the season-"Well I know that Dolphins went 1-15 last year, but have some pieces there. I think I will end with a better record than the Patriots and to win the division. "I'd hysterically laughed in your face.

The hard-nosed AFC North can not get any better, two of the highest ranked defensive teams facing off this week. The winner of this game will take full control of the main section, and will take all the phases of game. Each stage of the game is for another; Yes the Steelers have the number one of defense, but the Ravens are unable to score home. It's going to be great to see Reed and Polamalu makes great games corresponding to their defense. But In the end it will come to the game Flacco the quarterback and Roethlisberger, now let me figure it out ... A solid rookie quarterback is not with experience in pressure games, or a stellar Superbowl winning QB who has the middle name pressure and big games? Tough true, but should pick Roethlisberger and Steelers win this game and the AFC North. I'm not going to make some bold predictions, but look for Big Ben to open Another way to the big game.

The AFC South is a little clearer in Tennessee already clinching Title Section, Indianapolis on the rise, and not another competition within the division entirely. Look for the Titans to keep rolling across a whole season; Jeff Fisher will not stand anyone over the last few games. And The Colts will take implicitly that the first position in the Wild Card NRA. (But do not say it too loud, no one will not notice even if they do a deep playoff run).

Now I I will not speak for the West, but at least I must say something. First of all, this separation is absolutely pathetic. The schizophrenic Broncos did not even know what is that the chargers are the most frustrating team in the league and, in the history of NFL, the Raiders have not changed much and just could destroy JaMarcus Russell's career if they do something soon and Kansas City Chiefs can hardly compete with anyone. Now I would like to say something but said that it would be a good thing. Denver will easily win the division, but only just because the rest of the division can not function properly.

The image AFC playoff will turn out like this:

1. Tennessee Titans
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
3. Miami Dolphins
4. Denver Broncos
5. Indianapolis Colts
6. Baltimore Ravens

Now, the race playoff NFC, especially the Wild Card race, it is your definition of a muddy picture playoff. The East is still fierce though most continue to think so or not, the upper edge of the North is in the air, the South is without doubt the best part in football, and the West is almost so bad at this conference, but we at least the Cardinals to discuss.

Now there is no better group to speak for this time of year, the New York Giants football. I know just came from a close loss for the Eagles, but we all know what this group is really it. All Harris distractions Smith aside, (Oh I'm sorry I meant Plaxico Burress) was is the most mentally tough team in football, and be more physically tough After back Brandon Jacobs. The only problem have just started the playoffs is they will have home-field advantage; where they gonna have to get used to it. Course towards the bottom part, the Eagles were very impressive in recent years. The Everyone had counted them out after Donovan McNabb was benched in this terrible loss for the Ravens, but I could not figure out why. I know that many people wish count teams out exactly start a losing slide, and too react when the teams went in performance (for those of you who chose the Jets to Superbowl candidates before two weeks). But this was the premier status to Donovan, who is big every once the pressure is on him. Assists also when Andy Reid comes to senses and to give Westbrook the ball to take less Donovan pressure and lower efforts from almost 50 a game. So, look the Eagles make a run for a slot in the Wild Card NFC, but short. The NFC South is just too hard, plain and simple. Will fall both Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Since the Redskins have fizzled out, and the circus known as the Dallas Cowboys is slowly falling apart, it seems that the beasts the East will only put the Giants in playoff contention this season.

The NFC North is very interesting, and I know that most of you will take the easy route and AP and say that the great defense will lead Minnesota Vikings to win division. In the words of Lee Corso not, so fast my friend! The Bears have everything in order to obtain easy bottom of the NFC North. The Vikings have other games in Arizona, Atlanta, and New York Giants. This is easily the toughest schedule remaining in the NFL, and beyond, with starting quarterback Gus Ferotte is out this week with a lower back injury, leaving Tarvaris Jackson to lead the team, which is great news. Jackson was the starter at the beginning of season, only to go 0-2 with a very average individuals. Minnesota could simply Adrian Peterson the ball in every game, but I I understand that it will get fast enough. From On the other side of things, when the Chicago Bears emerged from a Thursday night win overtime during the New Orleans Saints, and have remaining games against Green Bay and Houston. Green Bay was disappointing, and Houston is below the group average. Even if Minnesota is definitely better general group from Chicago, look to see Chicago victory in the North, which is based only off the remaining program.

Where to leave Minnesota? Well, that leaves them completely out of it; Since the NFC South is just incredible. The Carolina Panthers are among the tops in the league, and it seems that the fact that will win the division. Smash and Dash (Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams) is nearly unstoppable; The only problem I stole that their nicknames by LenDale White and Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans. It's good to see Williams success in the NFL though, as I was a fan when he played for the Memphis Tigers in college. It is heavily tested when they play the Giants next week Sunday night, which is possibly an NFC Championship preview. Jeff Garcia and the Tampa Bay Bucs have been great, and the Atlanta Falcons has (with the Dolphins), one of the most surprising teams in the league. The Falcons and Bucs will face off this week a very important game, but absolutely insane for anybody to think The Buccaneers had no chance to win this game. First of all, Garcia reported as questionable with a sore calf and it would be ridiculous to pick a team in this section to lose at home. The NFC South is 24-2 at home this season and 10-0 at home when play together. Advantage, Atlanta. Tampa Bay may lose this game, but will easily win the next two against San Diego and Oakland, pathetic AFC West. Did I mention the AFC West is pathetic? The Bucs will take the final NFC Wild Card slot, and the Falcons will do first. Again, something nobody would have predicted. Three teams from the NFC South in the playoffs? Seriously do not even tell me you predicted that.

Finally is the NFC West, which would be sad the AFC West if the Arizona Cardinals were not included and if the Mike Singletary does not assume and do in San Francisco competitive towards the end of the season. But The NFC West is the subject of Arizona this year, who have won a title panel, first time in 33 years. It should also be hosting a playoff game for the first time since 1947, which does not really count for the people of Arizona because the team was Chicago at that time. This a huge achievement for the Arizona Cardinals, who many of them have to do playoff runs the past few seasons, but never got done. Finally broke through this season and each player this group is well worth it. This is largely due to another major first year head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who is also up there in my coach from vote the year, but came out only Sparano bit. This is mainly because of Arizona had a tremendous amount of talent before Whisenhunt got there, but Sparano did not have that luxury. All that aside, Whisenhunt got a dispersed well the Cardinal and his team got the to gel very well, while taking the offense (which We all knew it was very good) in potential. The NFC West could be a very weak division, but who cares. History has been and will always be be recognized, no matter what the circumstances. Congrats, Cardinals.

With all that said, image playoff NFC will be shown as this:

1. New York
2. Carolina Panthers
3. Arizona Cardinals
4. Chicago Bears
5. Atlanta Falcons
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

With only a few weeks left in the regular season, There are many teams that have playoff fate in the palm of their hand. There many teams will try to show who beat who on a weekly if they do it because of its own make them. In the next few weeks The picture should begin cleaning and real playoff contenders will emerge. Look To see some interesting matchups in the playoffs offs this year, and some good games, (without which the Patriots involved). And did I mention the AFC West is sad?
