NFL Week 11 Predictions: Playoff Picture Begins To Form

The NFC South is probably the most interesting and biggest surprise of the NFC this season. The top three teams have six wins or more, and the last place team is only 4-5. Although, I am sorry to say, but I am counting the New Orleans Saints out of this.

The Carolina Panthers are at a soundless 7-2. I don't hear much about this team, but obviously they are good enough to not be mentioned in the "what the hell are you doing in the NFL" portion. At 7-2, they are the second best team in the NFC (record wise). As a matter of fact, there are only four teams in the NFC that are sucking really bad. This Sunday the Panthers welcome Detroit into their home. This team should be 8-2 easily after week 11.

The Atlanta Falcons are lead by rookie quarterback Matt Ryan. The Ravens and the Falcons are doing pretty good for themselves with rookie quarterbacks. They are both 6-3. This Sunday, the Falcons play the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are too inconsistent.

The Tampa Bay Buccs play the Minnesota Vikings. Jeff Garcia is back in his rhythm so expect a good game here. Adrian Peterson will have to yet again carry this Vikings team on his back if they expect to win here.

 

Last but not least, we have the NFC West. The worst division in the NFC, and NFL (much like THEIR counterparts in the AFC West). I don't even have to write up anything much about them. The Arizona Cardinals are 6-3 and are playing division rival Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are a mere 2-7. Whatever. Please tell me why you people thought I was insane for predicting this division (including the Seahawks) to be sucky? It looked like I was right after all.
