NFL 13 Late Season Picks

Were 3/4 of the way through the season and things are starting to solidify. I know my picks look almost exactly like the If the Season Ended Today scenario but thats the way it is this year. Only a few teams actually showed up and several of them are only a game away from clinching their spot in the playoffs.

AFC
East: Patriots (9-3)
One more win and they take the division.

North: Ravens Bengals (8-4)
The Ravens could make a run for the division but I feel like the Bengals will hang on.

South: Colts (8-4)
This weeks win over the Titans brings the Colts to just one win away from clinching the worst division in the league.

West: Broncos (10-2)
Mid season I said that the Broncos were going to have to be the ones to take out the Chiefs. Well they have, twice.

Wildcard: Chiefs (9-3), Titans Dolphins (6-6)
The Chiefs will be the 5th seed this year. As for the last seed in the AFC, who knows. Its likely that a team with an 8-8 record gets a wild card spot in the AFC. Currently it would be the 6-6 Ravens but I am going to have to change my pick to the Dolphins.

NFC
East: Cowboys (7-5)
The Cowboys have an easier schedule but the Eagles are hot on their heels. This one could come down to their week 17 matchup.

North: Lions (7-5)
The Lions have been very fortunate that their two capable rivals starting quarterbacks are both injured.

South: Saints (9-3)
The Saints should win this division. That said, they still have to play the Panthers, twice.

West: Seahawks (11-1)
The Seahawks are easily the best team in the league right now.

Wild Card: 49ers (8-4), Packers Panthers (9-3)
Well, the loss of Aaron Rodgers was too much for the Packers to overcome and I seriously doubt they will be going to the playoffs this year. Also, it looks like the Panthers are legit.

I still like the Broncos and Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
