Eagles v Niners and Bears v Packers should both be great games. Rams should stomp the Panthers but it's a playoff so will probably be closer than it should.
AFC could be all road winners. Bills and Texans will win pretty comfortably. Chargers should too, but they are terrible come playoff time so I think they'll be up and looking dominant through 3 quarters and then find some insane way to lose in the 4th.
I think the 6 best teams in the league are in the NFC this year (Seahawks, Rams, Niners, Eagles, Bears, Packers). So I think an AFC team will win as whatever team they face will be exhausted. Bills to finally win one.

Steelers Ravens was insanity.
Two missed kicks at the end! Crazy - cost the Ravens their season. That and the lack of a pass rush. Jesus what a loss. Jackson's penultimate play throw was as good as you'll see to Likely. Wonderful play - huge pass.
Henry is crazy - another 100 yard game, but he's going home.
These playoffs will be epic

I totally agree about the divisional games.
Dont have a prob with div winners getting to the play-offs no matter what.
But giving a losing team a home game as well is a bit much.
They've been talking about changing that; and there'll be a lot more talk now. -
@mohikamo I think divisions play whole other divisions. So if you come up against a strong division, everyone has a lower w/l. A weak division and everyone stuffs their stats.
So I think I'm OK with winning divisions and hosting. So be it - just win!
-
Haha
You said just win!
But the Panthers lost more than they won!
So fuck them.
Now they'll probably beat the rams.You are right about the division schedule.
The match scheduling formula is very complicated.
I think it takes 4 or 5 seasons before they have played everybody else in the league.
But they play their division rivals twice every year, so those games are extra intense.
Quite a good system in the circumstances.I follow the AFC East
I think they played the NFC South and the AFC North this year.The performance of the Patriots in the play-offs will be interesting.
Their schedule worked out to be the weakest in the entire league.
But they are guna run into some good teams now. -
The scheduling formula is:
Rest of division x2
One other division in your conference on a rotating basis (eg AFC East goes North, West, South)
One division in the other conference, on a rotating basis
The teams with the same finishing position as you in the remaining 2 divisions in your conference. (Eg if you finish 3rd in AFC East and have AFC South as your rotational division, you'll get the 3rd place teams in AFC North and West).
The same place finisher from one division in the NFC on a rotational basis. (This is the recently added 17th game)So you're guaranteed to have played every other team in the league after 4 years. But for teams in your own conference you'll see them at least every 3 and often more regularly.
There's also a small scheduling advantage to teams with worse records the previous season, but that doesn't always work out because the NFL is so dynamic, with teams that were rubbish one year being good the next.

So Black Monday came calling for the coaches of the Raiders, the Browns, teh Cardinals and the Falcons. Oh and the Titans? or did that already happen?
-
@mariner4life Titans coach got sacked a few months ago.
-
Harbaugh out at the Ravens.
These two are now the best job and best coach on the market....
-
Harbaugh may already have a new job lined up.
Giants? -
he will have one by the end of the week, hos choice.
Interestingly his agent said he has already fielded calls from 7 organisations. There are currently 7 open positions, including teh one he was just fired from. Someone may be looking at an upgrade.
-
Yeah
Because he's sacked, he might get someone else sacked!
Wild -
be fucking hilarious if it was Tomlin

Sounds like an Andy Reid situation. He could go on to greater things with a strong organisation and a well drafted QB. He won't need to take a chance on a shitty job, only quality franchises need apply
