Who's making the playoffs in the NFC? Blackbears will tell you now

blackbears86 · 09-05-2022, 03:33 PM

This is a little easier than the AFC and as I was looking at this, I only struggled with one team.

Without further ado, my NFC playoff teams.

AGAIN: not ranking here, just predicting who will make the playoffs.

1. LA Rams
2. SF 49ers
3. Tamp Bay Buccaneers
4. New Orleans Saints
5. Philadelphia Eagles
6. Dallas Cowboys
7. Green Bay Packers

My odd team out was the Cardinals. I'm just not convinced this team has it this year. I think Dallas squeaks in over them. So many teams are in rebuilding mode (Seattle/Giants/Bears)

I think Atlanta/Carolina/Detroit make some surprising noise. Sorry Washington fans--Wentz is not your guy.

2dueces · 09-05-2022, 04:13 PM

Eagles
Packers
Vikings
Bucs
Rams
49ers
Cowboys <- gifted with the leagues easiest schedule again

49ers, Saints and Cowboys don’t make it. Washington, Vikings and a surprise team do.

My guesses

Bucs 12-5 Win the South
Rams 11-6 Win the West
Packers 11-6 Win the North
Eagles 11-6 Win the East
Vikings 10-7 Wild Card
Cowboys 9-8 Wild Card
49ers 9-8 Wild Card

Rams
Bucs
Eagles
Vikes
Packers
Panthers
Giants (assuming Tyrod plays within the first 6 weeks)

You are disqualified for even thinking the Giants have a chance of making the playoffs.

There’s always a chance a team surprises people. Not many thought much of the Bengals last year.

Blazed · 09-05-2022, 05:51 PM

Rams will win it all again. Mark it.

Marked down this incorrect prediction.

You underestimate Mike Kafka at your peril.

Bengals played a last place schedule. This year they play the 3rd hardest
The NFL loves last to first stories, the beauty of parity and strength of schedule

No clue what you’re getting at. Just saying not many saw them doing what they did. Teams can surprise and the NFC seems a little more open than the AFC plus 7 teams now means a garbage team is guaranteed

lambeauleap87 · 09-05-2022, 07:35 PM

Division winners: Rams, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs
Wild cards: Vikings, 49ers, Eagles

NFC wide open once again - all the top teams have pretty significant reasons to be concerned, but roster-wise are much better than the rest of the fodder.

NHRonin · 09-05-2022, 07:46 PM

The Lions are getting in as a WC. That way we can get Hard Knocks the playoffs. LOL.

Rememberthepast · 09-05-2022, 09:46 PM

Division winners: Eagles, Vikings, Bucs, Rams
Wild cards: Packers, Panthers, 49’ers

Bucs will not make the playoffs.

You heard it here first.

I could see that happening. Brady gets killed behind that line or horseface makes him quit for good.

I was just echoing what you said about a surprise team making the playoffs. Ravens may not be a surprise but because of their last place finish they play the 11th easiest schedule.
Detroit maybe the shocker this year.

The Saints sent two QBs to their graves while on their final quests, could happen again!
