Week 10, 2008

Week 10 has come and gone and that means everyone has played their bye week and with that, the same number of games. Here are my updated playoff picks.

East: Patriots
North: Steelers
South: Titans
West: Broncos
Wildcard: Ravens,  Dolphins

The AFC has been playing out pretty much how I expected it too ever since week 3. Pretty much, that is, with the exception of the Bills who decided to lose their last 3 games, which just happen to be division games. So I dropped the Bills in the wildcard and am now officially routing for the Dolphins. I also think there is a good chance that the Titans go undefeated this year. Their only real competition is the Steelers and Colts.  I dont think it will happen but their set up for it.

East: Redskins
North: Bears
South: Buccaneers
West: Cardinals 
Wildcard: Giants, Panthers

The NFC is a mess. First of all the Giants are now playing good teams and winning. Whats worse is Eli Manning is getting all the credit. Second, the Cowboys and Redskins both lost to the Rams. Third, the Cardinals have almost clinched their division. There is one constant you can look to for stability though. The Lions are 0-9, and it looks like their only chance to win a game this year is going to be in week 14 against the Vikings. And Im only saying they have a chance because its a divisional game and theyll be playing at home. In the end, I can no longer support the Cowboys. I hope they prove me wrong but I dont think they make the playoffs this year. In the NFC its going to take an 11-5 record or division win to guarantee a playoff birth. There will be several teams at 10-6 and one of them might make it. 

This leaves my Super Bowl picks. Obviously Im not going to pick the Cowboys anymore since I dont even think theyre going to make the playoffs. So I think its the Bucs beating the 15-1 Titans.
