NFC Playoff Predictions

After being halfway through week 4 of the NFL regular season, I decided to finally make my NFC playoff predictions. I did this because they are harder picks to make then the AFC. There are many more competitors in the NFC than the AFC. All of the divisions in the NFC seem like they are stronger.

NFC East Winner: Dallas Cowboys

I have discussed this many times before, but I will say it one more time. I still believe that the Cowboys will make the playoffs even with Tony Romo and Dez Bryant being out most of the season. The rest of the division has not looked good. All of the other teams look like they are inconsistent. That is why I am sticking with the Cowboys.

NFC North Winner: Green Bay Packers

This is a very easy pick. The Green Bay Packers look like they are the best team in the NFC. This team has looked impressive all around. It also helps that they have the best quarterback in the league Aaron Rodgers.  It will be interesting to see how many losses the Packers will end up having. The only other team in this division that looks somewhat good is the Vikings. The Vikings have no chance at taking the division from the Packers as long as Aaron Rodgers does not get injured.

NFC West Winner: Seattle Seahawks

This was a really tough decision for me. Early on this year, I was beginning to think that the Seahawks were not going to be as good this season. They looked like a completely different team when they got Chancellor back. That makes me think they have the edge over the Cardinals in the NFC West.

NFC South Winner: Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons were a team that I was not expecting much from coming into this season. However, They have looked great this season. Julio Jones is the best receiver in the league. I am very impressed by the Atlanta Falcons and they are undefeated this season. I think they look better than the Panthers who are undefeated division rival.

Wildcard #1: Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals have looked incredible this season. The only reason why I have the Seahawks taking the division is because the Cardinals lost to the Rams which makes me question how good they actually are. However, they are still going to get a ton of wins and make the playoffs. Bruce Arians is an incredible coach to be able to build a team like this.

Wildcard #2: Carolina Panthers

The Panthers are probably the weakest team that is still undefeated. However, Cam Newton has been very impressive so far this season. Their defense is also looking very good. The other team who I was thinking of putting in this spot is the Minnesota Vikings. I definitely think that the Panthers are a better team then the Vikings as of right now. That is why the Panthers are here.

Looking at the NFC, the playoffs should be very entertaining to watch. There are so many teams that look very good.
