{Part 2} Seeding predictions reaction and key games

Write Up

So by the looks of the results so far it seems like The Buccaneers and Vikings are unanimously the 1 and 2 seed. This is due to the Buccaneers past record in previous seasons and Vikings current undefeated record. You also have to factor in Key games.

The (7-1) Bucs only have 3 key games left: saints, bengals, and niners.

The (8-0) Vikings on the other hand have 5 key games left which are: Cowboys, Patriots, Packers, Falcons and Eagles.

The Eagles, Seahawks, and Cowboys are sprinkled in the middle with the 49ers almost exclusively slotted in at the 6th seed. Don't sleep on 6th seeds as the Buccaneers took the 6th seed to the superbowl just 2 seasons ago. The Cowboys won a tight division game last week against the eagles while the Seahawks lost to the saints along with there starting WR, RB, and Safety who fell to injuries. That being you cant forget about the OT win the Seahawks had over the Buccaneers not too long ago. Other games that happened that could be big factors were Eagles blowout win over the 49ers and Cowboys loss to the Jaguars.

Eagles (7-1) 5 key games: texans, packers, jaguars, cowboys, and vikings

Seahawks (6-2) 4 key games: 49ers(1), chiefs, 49ers(2), and cardinals

Cowboys (8-1) 5 key games: Vikings, Texans, Colts, Eagles, and Falcons

49ers (6-2) 4 key games: Seahawks(1), Seahawks (2), Buccaneers, Raiders,

NFC Bubble teams: (4-4) Falcons, (4-4) Saints, (6-3) Packers

My knock against the saints and falcons is sure they both have big wins against the seahawks but they would need the seahawks to lose 2 of 4 of the teams key games along with a win out by either the saints or falcons! Good news is they have the tiebreaker over the seahawks. This is possible but the seahawks head coach did go as far as to say this following there win over the Buccaneers:

"The NFC south is looking really mediocre this year"

Those words seemed to bite him in the ass as the NFC south took notice and the saints and falcons both took down the undefeated seahawks. Another knock against the falcons is he is 32nd in every offensive category. If either team wants to make a playoff run they need to step up.

My knock against the packers is the lack of competition in his schedule. The opponents he has beat this year has a combined record of 5 wins and 45 losses and its just mid season.

As for the AFC I would like more people to react before i write a reaction.
