Late Season Picks 2014

AFC
East: Patriots (9-2)
With a 3 game lead, it is very unlikely anyone will be taking the division from Tom Brady at this point in the season.

North: Bengals (7-3-1)
"Anyone can win this division right now. This might be the best division in the league." Thats what I wrote 4 weeks ago. It still stands.

South: Colts (7-4)
The Colts are the only ones who showed up again this season. 9-7 is probably all it will take to win the division.

West: Broncos (8-3)
The Chargers and Chiefs are hot on the Broncos heals. The Broncos have the easiest remaining schedule and should be able to hold on.

Wildcard: Bills (6-5), Chiefs (7-4)
There are a lot of teams at 7-4 right now. Those arent necessarily the best contenders either. Im going to stick with the Bills and Chiefs. Though, its hard to exclude both the Ravens and Steelers

NFC
East: Eagles (8-3)
"Thanksgiving could be the deciding game." Lets see how it goes!

North: Lions (7-4)
They may have to win out to take the division. They will almost certainly have to win in Lambeau.

South: Saints (4-7)
It depresses me that the 2-9 Bucs arent out of playoff contention yet. 7 wins could very well win this division. Perhaps 6.

West: Cardinals (9-2)
The Cardinals have a 2 game lead and the easiest schedule. The 49ers and Seahawks play one another twice still.

Wildcard: 49ers (7-4), Cowboys (8-3), Packers (8-3)
Its hard to exclude the 49ers and Seahawks but I think they are going to split their 2 remaining games and knock each other out of the playoffs.

As for the Superbowl, I think Ill stick with the Patriots over the Cardinals.
