Sure, Pats look good....but then so did Packers last year, yet they lost their first game in postseason.

Getting the bye week and home field are still big advantages....and so far the Falcons and Texans hold those advantages. (but certainly those can be lost)

Broncos may actually be playing the best of all.

...and, believe it or not: beware the Seahawks.

I would not consider Atlanta any sort of threat in the NFC. They haven't proven anything in the postseason.

To me (at week 14), it looks like the Patriots are a lock to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl again. Sad, I really hope another team can topple them.

I'm not sure about the NFC. I don't like the Falcons, though I think they'll win one play-off game this year. The 49'ers really don't match up well against GB or NYG. I'm not sure who the favorite is...but I'll pick GB.

Pats vs. Pack for Super Bowl 47.

Bengals at Eagles....Bengals need win to keep up going into showdowns with Steelers/Ravens

Redskins at Browns...Skins 1 game behind in WC race. Browns need to keep slim hope alive.

Colts at Texans...Texans need to put the hammer down in the AFCS division race. If Colts win, Texans collars will get very tight. Even with loss, Colts still look good for WC spot.

Broncos at Ravens...a game for playoff seeding, and for Ravens to ward off division threats by Bengals/Steelers.

Vikings at Rams....loser probably falls out of any WC chance. Winner still alive.

Bucs at Saints....both have very slim WC chances. Loser done. Winner still a longshot

Giants at Falcons...Falcons need it to secure #1 seed. Giants need to hold off division challenges from Cowboys/Redskins...and for a playoff spot.

Packers at Bears....game for supremacy in NFC North....and for WC spot.

Seahawks at Bills...Seattle needs to secure WC spot. Bills done if they lose.

Panthers at Chargers....only the slimmest of hope left for Chargers. Need to keep any chance alive

Steelers at Cowboys....both vying for potential division and wild card spot. Loser will be hurt badly. Winner will still not have secured anything.

Jets at Titans....victory essential to preserve slim chances for Jets at WC.

T#1&2: Chiefs/Jaguars both 2-11

#3: Raiders 3-10

T#4-#8: Cardinals/Panthers/Lions/Eagles/Titans all at 4-9

T##9-#13: Bills/Dolphins/Browns/Chargers/Saints all at 5-8

#14: Jets 6-7

#15 Rams 6-6-1
