Who F@ucking cares, throw darts, flip coins, pick crap out of a bag. Once again you will have a team that will reach the playoffs as Home field advantage with a worse record. Certainly a sub .500 team comes out of here. Without question no wild card comes out of this one.
My big sleeper pick this year is by far Tampa Bay for the NFC and Houston for the AFC. I guarantee one of the wild cards in the AFC comes out of the West. The other spot really is up for grabs between the other I selected.
The same can be said of the NFC North , it will be either the Bears or Lions getting a spot. Most would say that the sure thing would be from out of the West in the NFC. But SF is a mess, the field is a mess, the parking is a mess, traffic will be a mess. Simply put,,,,SF will be a mess all year,,and might just slip into a spot, but certainly do not expect them to repeat their great success in reaching the NFC Championship game. If they make the playoffs , it will on the road and they lose, first game out.
Well I have the Panthers and Bucs nearly even on talent , off season improvements and overall attitude. The edge that I gave the Bucs was their schedule road vs. home. They will virtually face the same teams it was who will face who at home rather than on the road. Again I really dont see either of them in question for a playoff berth, but Bucs were by far the best considered what was left.
Truth, as much as SF will stink. it really is down to Det, Chic and SF for those spots. I just threw in a few sleepers because everything else was too easy.
