1. Carolina
2. Arizona
3. Green Bay
4. NFC East dreck
5. Seattle
6. Minnesota
WC Round
GB over Minnesota
Sea over NFC East
Setting up these divisional round matchups:
Seattle at Carolina
Green Bay at Arizona
That's a pair of awesome matchups.
Carolina likely will have to beat both Seattle and Arizona to make it to the Super Bowl, where they'll (hopefully) play the Pats for a shot at 19-0. That's an incredibly tough three-game stretch.
Panthers will lose to the Giants, imo, but I'd prefer they go undefeated and then lose in the SB to us because that would be the next best thing to going undefeated and winning it all ourselves.
Which I really thought would have happened if not for all those goddamn injuries.
I really hope that Minnesota gets the 5, just because it's makes the wild card games more interesting. Minnesota would definitely lose in Wisconsin and Seattle would throttle the nfc east team, but Seattle in gb would be fun and giants v Viking would as wellPredicted NFC seedings:

I think Carolina goes 16-0
Anything can happen in the playoffs. That's the beauty of the NFL. It's win or go home, no 7 game series to make up for one bad night. The best team in the world can have an off night (cough 2007 Patriots) and lose to a 6th seed who finished 8-8. It's a lot different to win games against your weak division and bad teams than it is to win 3 or 4 straight against the league's best.
They going to go 19-0 so Don Shula's son can have a perfect season just like Daddy. Courtesy of the WWNFL.
They should be, IMO. Because the Panthers lack a bunch of big-name players at skill positions, and because Newton isn't as established as Brady was, people aren't taking them as seriously. Also hurts their case that they their passing game isn't consistently flashy, although it sure has been for the past month.
I will say this: the Panthers right now are a better football team than the '07 Pats were as of week 15. The Patriots were starting to wear down at this point, and were getting hit by a couple of key injuries. The Panthers seem to be peaking, and have been remarkably lucky on the injury front. It'll be interesting to see how they handle Jonathan Stewart getting hurt; if CAP comes in and dominates they might just be in team-of-destiny territory.
This seems to be forgotten every single year, especially here, where we're used to winning.
