Last year I spent countless hours on this thing.

This year there aren’t many variables for us as far as seeding. Since we’ll be waiting on WC games to know our opponent, Im not even going to attempt to figure out who we “might” play. Just glad we’re on the inside looking out this year.

I do expect us to finish with the #1 however.

Bears become the #2 seed!


Muahahhahah!

And I honestly think there is a decent shot of this happening to. Depends if The Aints division rivals decide to be division rivals like normal.

I like your seedings better than mine, too.
:mrburnsevil:

Seattle having to go to New Orleans and Minnesota going to Dallas and squashing the ‘girls dreams.
 
In the NFC I’ve got Minnesota winning out and stealing the North from Chicago.

In the AFC I’ve got Houston giving the Pats a scare but coming up short of the two seed.

Screen shot.

Would absolutely love this scenerio. Id also like for the Shithawks to beat the Aints and our Rams beat the ever living shit out of them to go to Chamionship game! Lol

All depends of Tampa and Carolina.

No matter what you say thd Bucs usually have tough hard fought games with the Saints and get their number. Remember they beat them week 1.

They are very much like how we were to Seattle going to the deep plaoffs and Fisher coached us to beat them and go 7-9.

And the Panthers have the talent. Going to be super interesting.

Thanks @Ellard80 My original post has the link. Are guys not seeing it? I guess I should have posted it on top of my picks, rather than below. :banghead:

Did you you play out a scenario? Screen shot them guys! I’m curious how you see it playing out. It just seems inevitable that the Cowgirls and Seapigeons make it a t this point. At least that is how it is trending.

Also, I could see a mini-meltdown by the Aints, to where they lose the #2 seed to the Bears in a tie breaker.

They will get the #2 seed for sure, even if they lose two more games and go 12-4.

The Bears would need to win out which means beating the Rams, and the Vikings in MINN in a game the Vikings will probably need to clinch a spot. I'm not saying it's impossible but that's a tall order.

With the Bears OL Trubisky may end up on the injury report too. He has got to be nervous just coming back from a shoulder injury and playing the Rams.

True, it is most likely to see N.O. take care of business and at least go 13-3. But they have some tough games.

This scenario:

Has the Rams winning out, the Bears losing to us, and winning their final 3. (Yes, including that tough final game in Minn. I agree, unlikely with Trubisky banged up) and the Saints winning one in N.O. against the Panthers, but losing this week in Tampa, losing to the Steelers and losing in Carolina. Unlikely, but posible.

The Bears win the tie-breaker.

If that came to be, it'd be an UGLY game for the Saints in Soldier field in January where it almost certainly won't be a balmy 27 degrees...

Let's not forget that the Saints have Kamara and Ingram, averaging 4.6 and 4.8 YOC respectively and they average 122 yards a game between them. So if passing isn't going to cut it because of bad weather they can run it just fine. They also have a decent defense.

So they should be able to handle the cold well despite playing in a dome. 2 cold weather games so far and they beat CIN 51-14 and PHIL 48-7. They have PITT December 23rd and I bet they aren't afraid.

IMO we will be seeing them again.

Well, the game in Cincinnati was in early November when it was 45 degrees and sunny, and the game against the Eagles was in New Orleans. I don't think the Saints have been tested with an outdoor game in cold weather.

45 is still a bit nippley. Especially if it's breezy LOL.

I think the PHIL game was a road game.........no?

EDIT: checked and you are right it was a home game. My mistake.

Still though, they have some defense and a really good running game so if it's cold and snowy and windy (windy city) they can hand it off 40-45 times.

Still it's going to take a bunch of shit going the Bears way to get the 2 seed and I just don't see it all breaking that direction.

I'm not sold on the Bears. They have two quality wins on their resume this year and one came over the Seahawks who started terribly this year. Credit to them for beating MINN at home though.

Other than that they haven't beaten anyone even average. It's all been against poor teams or one dimensional teams. I don't think that defense could handle NO and that array of ways to attack a defense.

We will find out possibly.

I hope the Rams put up a win that is lopsided in every phase, O/D/ST all winning their part of the day big time. I want to see sports talk media shutting the fuck up for a week.
