thoughts on the NFL at midway point...

[jakez4ut]

right now, i think you got two divisions in the NFC that are just better than everyone else...South and East.

I see Carolina and ATL making playoffs, don't know which one will win division, both still play each other twice...
I see Dallas and NYG making it out of the East. Dallas accidentally wins division.

Seattle wins the West
Chicago wins the North

Carolina wins the NFC over Seattle

IN the AFC...hm?
Denver wins the West...
Indy wins the South...
NE wins the East....
Pitt wins the North

Cincy gets wild card and so does San Diego or KC.

Indy wins AFC over Pitt(that will suck by the way)

Indy wins Super Bowl. Good for Peyton, but they are clearly the best team...no excuses this year.

As a diehard Colts fan I couldn't be happier this season. We still have some VERY tough games including this weeks game against the Bengals and the Steelers.

If we can get home field advantage throught the playoffs which I think we will we should be a near lock for the Super Bowl.

:clapping: I agree, Colts fan since 68, Go Colts!!!!!!!!!

The entire NFC is just horrible. The NFC North going 4-0 yesterday proved that.

Carolina and maybe Seattle are the only two teams I'd consider legitimate. Maybe Atlanta as well, just for the Vick factor.

The AFC is once again head and shoulders above the NFC... the 4th or 5th best team in the AFC could handle Carolina or Seattle.

The Colts are the team to beat, no doubt... can't wait to see them play the Bengals, Steelers, and Chargers though. Hopefully Roethlisberger will be back in time for that game...

Best teams in AFC:
Colts
Jaguars
Bengals
Broncos
Steelers

Best teams in NFC:
Panthers
Falcons
Bears

AFC

West: Denver
East: New England
North: Cincinnati
South: Indianapolis
Wild Card: Jacksonville
Wild Card: Pittsburgh

The only really hard division to pick was the East... Some decent teams but nobody really standing out. I think New England will get their act together in time to grab an easy division.

NFC
West: Seattle
East: New York
North: Chicago
South: Carolina
Wild Card: Dallas
Wild Card: Atlanta

NFC is terrible. East is hard to pick, and the other wild card spot is hard to pick. But Seattle, Chicago, Carolina and Atlanta are going to the playoffs. You can take that to the bank.

jakez4ut is right on with all his picks. Panther fan here says Colts will win it all, too. If Panthers and Colts make it to the Super Bowl, I can't lose.

 

[smokeyman15]

colts vs carolina <--super bowl

colts win by 10 atleast

 

[vols05]

I&#39;m still going with the..

I see us finishing 10-6, maybe 11-5......

I will give Peyton credit, but he&#39;s still 1-7 against the Pats.

The Colts can go undefeated.... get a bye in the 1st round of the playoffs then goof at home. It could happen.....

I think the Pats will correct the "un-characteristic Bellicheck" mistakes and be a contender in the AFC.

As for the NFC, I would love to see Dallas or Atlanta get to the SB.

GO PATRIOTS&#33; :rock:

 

[milohimself]

Well, in the NFC, Seattle and Carolina have to be the favorites for sure.

 

[OWB]

My thoughts?? I hate the Cowpies. They&#39;re so lucky. You&#39;re right to predict that might "accidentally" win the Eastern division. That&#39;s the only way they can anymore.

Go Skins

I can understand why you would want ANYBODY but Carolina in there if the Pats get back. The Panthers gave NE all they could handle in the Super Bowl two years ago and absolutely kicked their a&#036;&#036;es in week 2 this year. By the way, don&#39;t put any money on the Colts stumbling this year. Too good and too balanced, best team in the NFL, men among boys.

 

[milohimself]

Knowing the Colts is gonna lose too is kinda weird. You know they&#39;re gonna lose, but you have no idea to. The second half of their schedule is too hard for any team to possibly make it through unscathed though.

 

[TennFan]

NFC East: NY Giants
NFC South: Carolina
NFC North: Chicago
NFC West: Seattle
NFC Wildcard: Atlanta

AFC East: New England
AFC South: Indianapolis :bow:
AFC North: Pittsburgh
AFC West: Denver
AFC Wildcard: Cincinnati

New England will not make it to the 2nd round. Super Bowl picks: Carolina vs Indy. Would love to see the Manning&#39;s face off&#33; :biggrin2: :clapping: :dance2:

Colts have Cincy, Pittsburgh, San Diego and Seattle remaining on the schedule. If the Colts get through the next two games, who knows what might happen. Don&#39;t overlook Jacksonville, because they&#39;ve always played the Colts tough.
Can #18 win the NFL MVP again or will it be James from Indy?

 

[jakez4ut]

INdy&#39;s reg. season record will probably be 13-3...i see them losing to Cincy, Seattle and either Jax or Pit...which ever one is on the road....

but, the playoffs, well, anything can happen, and as everyone would agree, the AFC is much better than the NFC....

Pittsburgh could be a scary team w/Fast Willie Parker, Duce and The Bus running around...throw in Hines, Cedric, Quincy and Big Ben....they could keep up with anyone...and they are always toughest as the underdog, unlike last year at 15-1...you knew that was too good to be true....by they Pats fan...i was there last year at Hines Feild....15 below, what a debacle. I hate the Patriots for that game and the SuperBowl against the Panthers...

GO Panthers and Go Steelers. GO Indy if neither one of them make it...it&#39;s good to be me&#33;&#33; 3 teams to root for.

 

[volinbham]

If Roethlisberger gets healthy, Pittsburgh will win the North and Cincy will be a wildcard.

Indy is the favorite - I really like the way the whole team is playing this year. I&#39;ve watched virtually every game this year (Direct Ticket) and they are rock solid. The D is nasty and the offense takes whatever you want to give them.

Other teams in the AFC that could make the run are San Diego, Pittsburgh and New England (please God no). I just don&#39;t believe in Cincy and Jacksonville isn&#39;t there yet either.

NFC has no dominant teams. Everytime one starts to look like a break away team, they start stinking it up again. Carolina, Seattle, maybe Atlanta, maybe Tampa Bay, maybe Dallas, maybe....
