<![CDATA[If the playoffs started today 10/8/13]]>If the Playoffs started today, these are the teams that would be in:

AFC

East: Patriots 4-1

North: Ravens 3-2, have a better division record than both Browns/Bengals

South: Colts 4-1

West: Broncos 5-0 have better division record than Chiefs

Wildcards: Chiefs 5-0

2d WC spot has 5 teams tied at 3-2: Browns/Bengals/Titans/Jets/Dolphins

The edge goes to Dolphins/Bengals/Titans...who have better conf. record than Browns/Jets.

Among those 3 I cannot tell who would have tiebreak.

NFC

East: Eagles, 2-3, better division record than Cowboys also 2-3

North: Lions 3-2, won game with also 3-2 Bears

South: Saints 5-0

West: Seahawks 4-1

Wildcards: 49ers and Cardinals, both 3-2 have better conf. record than Bears

Steelers at 0-4 play the Jets 3-2. Most people felt these teams would have the opposite records. Jets playing well on defense. Hopefully they can handle Steelers impotent offense.

Broncos 5-0 vs. Jaguars 0-5. Already mentioned that this appears to be the largest point spread in Las Vegas/NFL history. Interesting just to see if indeed it will be the wipeout most expect. (could you imagine the brouhaha if the Jags won?)

Saints 5-0 vs. Patriots 4-1 Brees vs. Brady. Marquis QB matchup alone makes it interesting.

Ravens vs. Packers Matchup of 2 of the last 3 Super Bowl winners. Flacco vs. Rodgers. Can gunslinger Rodgers knife through the Ravens Defense.

Cardinals vs. 49ers. Both sitting at 3-2 in the NFC West. Can the Cardinals hang with the allegedly superior Niners.

Titans vs. Seahawks. Titans a bit of surprise. Can Seahawks reclaim their mantle as perhaps the best team in the NFC.

Raiders vs. Chiefs. Can the Chiefs stay in undefeated step with the Broncos in their division,

Redskins vs. Cowboys. The leagues most manufactured rivals play again. Cowboys could assert NFCE dominance with win.

They're gonna score a shitload of points but their D will bite them in the playoffs.

You completely ignored my point. DAL's D just went up against the greatest offense of all time! If Romo hadn't thrown his Classic Goof Pick, DAL might have still won too.

He had the single game passing yardage record in sight- but then he did a Romo.

Not greatest offense BTW, but a first ballot HOFer that happens to be on fire right now.

I don't like either team. in general, and Jerry Jones in particular.

Well...it's hard to say that any defense is playing better when the opposing team just hung 50+ on them. Dallas should have no trouble winning that division though..

The Cardinals are going to collapse again. Palmer's atrocious and their division is too competitive. TEN is going to fall short due to the Locker injury. I think DAL will usurp PHI to win the division. Romo's playing much better, as well as the D under Kiffin.

Note: of those teams in line to make playoffs now, Cardinals/Saints/Lions/Eagles/Chiefs/Dolphins/Titans did not make playoffs last year.

And I would guess the Cards/Eagles/Dolphins/Titans don't make it this year either
