I don't think I've done my updated playoff predictions since last week. So here they are.

AFC:
1. Patriots
2. Bengals
3. Broncos
4. Texans
5. Steelers
6. Chiefs

NFC:
1. Panthers
2. Cardinals
3. Packers
4. Giants
5. Seahawks
6. Vikings

Worst team (by record): Browns
Runner-up: Chargers

Best team (by record): Panthers
Runners-up: Patriots, Cardinals

My part 1 of my fantasy matchup pretty much rides on this Steelers/Bengals game. I'm starting Roethlisberger, Brown and Bryant for Pittsburgh, and Eifert for Cincinnati. My opponent has DeAngelo Williams, who just scored a TD.

 

[PUSH]

Mike McCarthy takes back the playcalling duties in Green Bay. Not sure that was the issue, but if it gets our offense going again, I'm all for it. Meanwhile, Eddie Lacy has been named the #1 RB.

And now Thomas Rawls is in the locker room with what I've heard is a serious-looking knee injury. Not what I needed.

 

[Zweiland]

We've got an interesting pattern going here.

A good win for the Packers. I feel like we're getting back in stride. Our running game looked amazing today. Still plenty of things to work on, however.

If that's an eye chart, all I can read are the Gs and the upside-down omegas.

 

[PUSH]

Can't believe I'm the only one who went with the Steelers and Browns. The Steelers I actually switched my pick to about 15 minutes before kickoff. I always thought they would win, but for some reason I didn't choose them to start.

Does anybody know if the Falcon's team bus has made it to Bank Of America stadium in Charlotte yet for today's game, or are they still stuck on the interstate somewhere?

We're decorating the pick em page for Christmas.

Thank you Giants!

Thank you Giants!

A Patriots fan glad the Giants won a game that keeps us in the playoff hunt? Is this some sort of trick? Are you guys planning to Red Wedding us if we make a run for the Super Bowl?

Your win secured the AFC East title for the Pats.

 

[acishere]

Your win secured the AFC East title for the Pats.

Anything to ensure that the prophecy is fulfilled.

Spoiler

The prophecy is dead. We suck and your team is too banged up. I think there are too many better/healthier teams in our way.

Update on my end

AFC
1. NE 2. DEN 3. CIN 4. IND 5. KC 6. PIT
NFC
1. CAR 2. ARI 3. GB 4. NYG 5. SEA 6. MIN

Dalton injury drops CIN to 11 wins, but still take division w/ tiebreaker. Can't see Cincy w/ an impaired or missing Dalton not escaping the one and done curse again.

Still think NYG gives Carolina it's only loss - which should help them win the division w/ 8 wins. No teams w/ losing record this year, and only 1 team w/ winning record (NYJ) stays home.

My updates:

AFC:
1. Patriots (14-2)
2. Broncos (12-4)
3. Bengals (12-4) - I think they have a shot at both the 49ers and Ravens the rest of the way, so I gave them wins there. As long as they win on of those, they'll get the 3rd seed.
4. Texans (8-8)
5. Chiefs (11-5)
6. Steelers (11-5)

NFC:
1. Panthers (15-1) - I, too, say they lose to the Giants.
2. Cardinals (14-2)
3. Packers (11-5)
4. Giants (8-8)
5. Seahawks (11-5)
6. Vikings (10-6)

You two are putting an awful lot of pressure on my team. You can never pick the Giants to win. You have to have a pessimistic view towards their ability to win and hopefully in the end you wind up pleasantly surprised.

I was quite pleased nobody picked my Jets. Now we can swoop in and win it all.

Stop laughing.

I mean it - stop laughing - it could happen!!!

It all depends on which Denver Broncos show up to play Pittsburgh and whether the Patriots injuries can help you get a win over them. I think the Chiefs are a lock. They have too easy of a schedule.

I just get the sense that the Panthers aren't going to play that well against them. And the Giants seem to always have the upper hand when it comes to major upsets. If the Panthers don't lose to the Giants, they might go 16-0 because of their easy schedule.
