As you have it, the DC and GBP are going to be in the conference championship, but you have both as wild cards. So ALL 4 division champs fail to make the Conf. Championship game? Plus you point out Dallas has a very weak depth chart, and yet they make it all the way to end of January?

I think the NFC will have a lot of surprise story lines this year.

I totally agree it will have a lot of stories. You know a lot of things happen once teams get to the playoffs some hot teams fade and some teams tha tnobody expect raise.

The thing with the Dallas and GB thing after I did the whole schedulle game by game and had my playoffs this were the Wild Card Games

Dallas vs NO and GB vs Chi... Now I had NO beat Dallas in the regular season so we all know that is hard to beat a team twice during a season and I expect if Dallas get to the playoffs they will end their one and out record it has to happen one year and I expect it to be this. In the case of GB and CHI bot hare bad weather teams so it came down to in any given sunday who do I believe is the better team and I went to GB.

Now the Division games were Ari vs Dal and NYG vs GB... Now we know that Arizona is a second home to dallas (maybe not after last year) btu overall I believe overconfidence and both team stack up very well. SO I went with Dallas. In the case of NYG vs GB I almost went with the Giants but I don't feel ok with their defense, and WR so I don't believe they will be as strong as previous years.

I'm really happy with the picks I have going to the playoffs but we all know tha tonce the playoffs start it can go waaaaay different we all tought. Like who tought once the playoffs started it would be Arizona vs Pittsburgh last year or NYG vs NE the year before. Weird things happen in the playoffs

Fair enough, I think Dallas is gonna have a rough year, but anything is possible.

Let the games begin!

2 out of 4 NFC South wins (again 3 out of 4 is realistic given last years games)
3 out of 6 NFC East games (yes I think we all beat each other up)
1 out of the other 2. That makes 9 games at a minimum for the NFC E. and I think that is realistic.

that's my pèrception also no NFC east team goes bellow 8-8 with the teams we have but as you said we beat each other up.
