If the NFL Playoffs Started Today...

I figured I would post some potential Super Bowl matchups that would be fun...

Giants vs. Patriots (rematch of 2007)

FYP.

Whoops. Fixed.

[Punch]

AFC

AFC East- Patriots (12-4)

AFC North- Ravens (11-5)

AFC South- Texans (11-5)

AFC West- Chargers (9-7) --> Chargers go on another December hot streak while the Chiefs wilt like last year's Broncos. With how weak this division is, I don't trust anyone but the Chargers to pull it out despite their myriad troubles.

AFC Wild Cards- Jets (11-5) and Colts (10-6)

NFC

NFC East- Giants (12-4)

NFC North- Packers (11-5)

NFC South- Buccaneers (10-6)

NFC West- Rams (10-6)

NFC Wild Cards- Falcons (10-6) and Seahawks (9-7)

Not happening this year.

[Lights Out]

The chances of it happening are low, but everybody thought the Broncos were in control of the division after their fluke hot start last year, and we saw how that ended.

Yay, playoffs for Da Bearss! I shall update this again tomorrow afternoon (if necessary) and Tuesday afternoon (if necessary).

So the Browns put back to back wins against the Saints & Patriots, but they'll only win one more game this year? Okay

So the Giants will earn a double-bye, clear to the NFCCG?

[NEW.ERA]

I asked it earlier but never got a response.

What is the policy if both the Giants and Jets are hosting Championship games? Does one get played on Saturday and the other on Sunday?

So the Browns put back to back wins against the Saints & Patriots, but they'll only win one more game this year? Okay

I made these before Week 9, but the Browns are definitely good enough to win more, as long as they play they way the have the past two weeks.

UPDATE:

Sorry about all of those mistakes...I was in a hurry when I posted the update yesterday.

It's quite alright my friend, but you still have some issues.

NFC is right, except that Philadelphia gets in because a.) PHI and TB have better conference records (PHI 3-2, TB 3-2, CHI 4-3. So that eliminates Chicago.) and b.) PHI has a better common games record than TB (PHI beat Atlanta and TB lost to them.)

So the 6. spot would belong to Philadelphia.

NFC would then look like:

1. N.Y. Giants

2. Atlanta

3. Green Bay

4. St. Louis

5. New Orleans

6. Philadelphia

In the AFC, here's what the standings actually look like:

1. Baltimore (6-2) WIn over Jets gives hem tie-breaker

2. N.Y. Jets (6-2)

3. Kansas City (5-3) AFC Conf. record (4-3) KC has better AFC record than TEN.

4. Tennessee (5-3) AFC Conf. record (2-3)

5. Pittsburgh (6-2) Better conf. record than (PIT = 4-1, .800 PCT. NE = 5-2, .714 PCT)

6. New England (6-2)

6. New England (6-2)

No. The first tiebreaker after record and winning percentage is intra DIVISIONAL play, not conference. I think that's 5th.

Here are my sourcez

[AnythingChicago]

EDIT: Actually, head-to-head record is 2nd. Divisional record is 3rd.

[ltjets21]

People really need to chill with the Giants. Who have they beat? The Texans and The Bears not much to show for. The killed the Seahawks who started Charlie Whitehurst, everyone needs to stop sipping the Giant koolaid

[Cujo]

If the 'offs started today, the Colts would be out. Kind of odd seeing Indy not in the mix, but the way they've played to this point, they probably don't deserve to be there.

At the same time, Indy being on the outs speaks to how incredibly stacked the AFC is. There's no doubt in my mind that a 10-win team is going to miss the playoffs.

[AHcreative]

The Rams in the NFC Championship game!?

I like the way you think good sir, I just pray that you're right. Concequently I hope you're wrong and the Rams make it to the Super Bowl... We still have a whole half-season to play and a lot can happen. It's good seeing that people can actually see the Rams as playoff contenders again though.

[winters in buffalo]

I asked it earlier but never got a response.

What is the policy if both the Giants and Jets are hosting Championship games? Does one get played on Saturday and the other on Sunday?

I assume they'd move the NFC game to Saturday afternoon to maximize the turnaround time.
