Raiders came crashing back to earth today against Pittsburgh. That was one ugly game.

The Packers have looked dominant the past few games, and I am still concerned about their playoff prospects.

 

The division is a much safer route to go than the wild card if you want to make the playoffs.

As far as the Wild Card goes, there are realistically 4 teams fighting for 2 spots:

 

Bears/Packers loser

Saints

Bucs

Giants

 

Technically the Redskins (5-5) have an outside shot as well.

 

But based on having 4 different 7-3 teams fighting for a spot, I'm starting to wonder if 10-6 is not going to be good enough to make the playoffs. Will the Giants go worse than 4-2 and the Bucs finish 2-4? In that case 10-6 will take a WC spot. If the Giants go 4-2 or better, and/or the Bucs do better than 2-4, we're looking at a 10-6 team not making the playoffs most likely.

I wouldn't go handing the divisions to the Falcons and Eagles just yet, either. In reality, there are 7-8 teams fighting for 5 spots, between Atlanta, Philly, Chicago, Green Bay, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, New York and maybe Washington. At this time, I think the odd teams out are going to be Washington, Tampa Bay and Chicago, but there's still plenty of time left for those teams to improve, or the other teams to get worse.
