NFL

The NFC is so bad this season. They have 7 teams at .500 or better. AFC has 11.

Minnesota is going to beat Detroit for the division. Minnesota is one of the most complete teams in the NFL on both sides of the ball and the injury to Kirk actually helped Minnesota. Dobbs is looking better than Kirk, and mobile QB's are Detroits achilles heel. It would not shock me if Minnesota runs the table and gets the #1 seed over the 49ers via tiebreaker due to their soft schedule moving forward. Every team they face looks beatable, including Detroit.

Detroit is worse than what their record shows. They have had a very soft schedule for the most part, and they are lucky that they have faced back to back inept coaches in McDaniels and Staley otherwise they would have lost their last two. Their defense remains one of the worst in the NFL, with their stats being padded against a ton of shitty QB's this season. This is basically 2011 all over again with a high powered offense but dog shit defense. They are easily 1 and done in the playoffs. Why other people can't see that the Lions are pretenders is baffling.

The Eagles by the numbers are actually bigger pretenders than Detroit. Hurts is a mediocre passer and is being carried by that o-line and his NFL best receiving corps. Their secondary is also one of the worst in the NFL. They are going to drop a ton of games as their schedule becomes brutal post BYE week. They are also one and done in the postseason.

The 49ers had very bad injury luck after their 5-0 start, but they came out the BYE week healthy AND got a huge upgrade on defense with Chase Young. They should easily win the NFC West, but I think Minnesota wins the #1 seed via head to head tiebreaker. Still, the 49ers are one of the most complete teams in the NFL and are going to be very dangerous in the postseason.

The NFC South is irrelevant and are losing in the 1st round. The Saints should take it, but who cares since it's a participation trophy seed.

Based on how things look as of right now, here is what I think the NFC playoff picture will look like

Vikings: 13-4 (wins tiebreaker against the 49ers)

49ers: 13-4

Eagles: 12-5 (Wins tiebreaker against Dallas)

Saints: 9-8
