Post your 12 playoff teams (1 Viewer)

I'm thinking after four weeks, eight weeks and twelve weeks would be a good time for everyone to post who they think will be in the playoffs. The new thing to do here is bump up old posts, so let's just say we'll plan on bumping this one quite a few times.Please post your division winners and your SB matchup.NFC: Eagles, Falcons, Bears, Rams; WC: Bucs, PanthersAFC: Colts, Steelers, Patriots, Broncos; WC: Chiefs, BengalsSB: Colts over Eagles

 
NFC: Eagles, Atlanta, Seattle, Chicago - Wildcard: New York, Tampa BayAFC: Indianapolis, San Diego, Pittsburgh, New England - Wildcard: Cincy, DenverSuper Bowl: Indianapolis over Atlanta

Oh yeah. Someone should probably make a post that says "Done to here" at 12:59 on Sunday to stop any new predictions. Just a reminder in case I forget.

Also, the AFC North and South have a huge scheduling advantage over the AFC West and East that the 2nd place teams will have a great shot at the WC.

I'll be floored if the top record in the league only gets 11 wins this year. I really don't see that happening.

:yes: And our lists are the same except I have Cinci and Pitt flipped.

Me neither, but I just did some percentage analysis on each teams schedule and got these results. I'm sure we'll have at least one 12-4.

That was a close call for me. I do think either Indy or the AFC North winner will get at least 12 wins - and I think Philly will get at least 12 wins if McNabb stays healthy (but - who really knows too).

Short of a rash of injuries coming quickly, the Colts are staring down a 14-2 (dropping games to Stillers and Chargers (late, resting starters)) record. Hell, if I was the '72 Phins team, I'd be a little worried. A little.Edit: punctuation

I won't go that far, either. We really don't know how good the Colts are, and we won't know until the 2nd half of the season. But, they should start 7-0 IMO (I think they'll win @SF, STL and @Hou), and in the 2nd half they have home games with Hou, Tenn and AZ, so that is 10 likely wins right there. The other games are @NE, Pitt, SD, @Jax, @Sea and @Cin. So the Colts' record (assuming decent health) will be determined by these tougher games.

Since no game is a sure thing anymore, I looked at their schedule and gave .75 for a game I'm confident they'll win, .5 for a game that could go either way, and .25 for a game I think they'll lose (of which there are none). Here's what I got for Indy:.75 @SF

.75 @StL

.50 @Hou

.50 NE

.75 Hou

.50 @Cin

.50 Pit

.75 Ten

.50 @Jac

.50 SD

.50 @Sea

.75 Arz

Total: 7.25 (11.25 wins on the season)

They're probably more like 12 or 13 wins, but I used this method for everyone else and wanted to stay consistent.

(Edited to add missing words ;) )

Maybe I'll (or even better, someone else) will tally this at the end of the week. Some interesting picks so far (IMO), but I'll wait until the "deadline" passes to discuss them.

 
I don't pay as much attention to the NFC, but here's my attempt:

AFC -

Division winners: Pitt, Indy, NE, (flip 3-way coin) Denver

WC: Cincy, Jax (see their 2nd half schedule)

NFC -

Division winners: Philly, Atl, Seattle, (flip 4-way coin) Chicago

WC: Bucs, Giants (I don't know who the 6th team will be - could be Skins or Panthers too)

Super Bowl - I don't want to jinx the Colts by picking them - so Eagles over the Steelers.

One thing - SD is a playoff caliber team and I feel they are likely better than Denver, however their schedule is a killer, and Denver is already 2-0 in their division and have already beaten the Chargers once, so I have to get the Broncos the slight edge in the division. Also, the AFC North and South have a huge scheduling advantage over the AFC West and East that the 2nd place teams will have a great shot at the WC.
You're not going to jinx them, but their QB's history in the playoffs will. :P

Hardly see philly winning that divison and not just because of how my G-men produced yesterday....but the fact that they just give up way to many points on the road and get blown out.....real bad. They will struggle to make the playoffs cause being one game out; the giants have SF and Min the next two games while Philly has Dallas and Wash.....and do not forget about the two games against the Giants, which I can see being a split. So there will be alot of ground for philly to make up. I just do not see it happenin.

I didn't expect Philly to nose-dive like they have the last 3 weeks (2 blowout losses and a fluke win). But, my picks aren't that bad right now - the Steelers look really good.

:blackdot: Ugh on my Eagles, Rams, and Packers picks. Rams officially out of playoff contention yet? Eagles? These 2 teams gotta be close. Makes me feel better about my Colts in the SB (if they keep it going). Fun experiment, go back and look at margin of victory (or in this case loss) for the Packers. Man, it's a testament to Brett Favre imo, that they are in nearly every game. Just haven't been able to make that 1 play to finish an opponent off all season. Bleh.

Will have to mark this and bump again at the 12 week mark. Right now I still feel good about my AFC picks...NFC is just ugly. Did ANYONE get the NFC picks right? bump your ealier post (reply) if you did so I can ... :bow:

Well the records aside, I did ok. Philly probably killed everyone in this exercise. At this point I'd switch the Cowboys in for the Eagles and the Panthers in for the Falcons. Everything else looks plausible.

Ugh on my all-Penn Super Bowl. :bag: Atlanta looks like a pretender right now. Most of the rest of my picks aren't awful.
 
Here's my picks - 10/4/05 (after week 4)

NFC: Eagles, Falcons, Bears, Seahawks; WC: Bucs, Giants

AFC: Colts, Bengals, Patriots, Broncos; WC: Chargers, Steelers

SB: Colts over Eagles
Update...AFC: Maybe swap out the Chargers for Jacksonville. I like everything else.

NFC: The only thing I'd change is PHI in the NFC East.

The two NFC Wildcards will come down to these 5 teams...

ATL, CAR, TB (one will win the NFC South)

NYG, DAL (one will win the NFC East)

One team will be odd man out... :popcorn:

Right now I say this... 11/22/05 (after week 11)

NFC South: CAR

NFC East: DAL

WC: NYG, TB

odd team out: ATL

out of about 25 or so initial posts, only 4 have picked a super bowl with 2 teams that made the playoffs...wow.

 
NFC: Sea, Chi, Atl, Philly - WC: Wash, TB

AFC: Den, Pitt, Indy, NE - WC: Jack, Cinci
All but 2 playoff teams correct, missed on 3 Division winners. Not too bad I suppose.
 
King Kaufman scores playoff predictions by giving 2 points for correctly predicting a division champion or a wildcard, and 1 point for predicting a division champion that instead was a wildcard, or a wildcard that instead was a division champion.Using that scoring, I got 16 points. Not too bad. The only wrong AFC prediction was SD as a wildcard instead of Jax.All in all, pretty pleased with the results. I'm too lazy to calculate everyone else's to see how they did, though... so do it for yourself. :)

If I did mine right, I scored a 16. :P
