I think the race for NFC homefield is between Arizona, Green Bay and Tampa Bay. This year, homefield maybe the key to getting to the Superbowl. One of those 3 will be the NFC champs. I still think Dallas wins the East but they could lose it to us or the Eagles. I think the Rams will win enough to get the 5th seed, they have a 2 game edge over all the 5 win teams and 1 game edge over San Fran.
49ers- I think their schedule is favorable enough for them to win the 6th seed.
I think the real race is for the 7th seed.
Team- 9-8 or 8-9 seems like the likely scenarios.
Vikings- Best case is 9 wins. We would have edge if we both are 9-8 due to better conference record.
Falcons- They may 2 more games at best, not a threat.
Saints- Best case for them is 9-8. If they and us finish 9-8, they are better than us since they beat us.
Eagles- Best case for them is 9-8. Unless they sweep us, think we would get in over them.
Panthers- Best case is 1 more win, not a threat.
Giants - Best case for them is maybe the steal 1 win, not a threat.
I think we are competing against Minnesota, Philly and New Orleans for the 7th wild card. 4-2 is the worst we can go and one of those loses would be Sunday vs the Raiders. To steal the division from Dallas, we would have to sweep them.
