My take on the widespread 16-0 talk, plus predictions

Good stuff Derok.

I pretty much agree with all your division predictions. I could see the Pats over the Packers in the SB as well. Sweet revenge!

Howl confirmed! Really awesome and detailed article!!!

I would have to think the Cowboys are NFC favs right now though, right??

Oh yeah... definitely.

Dallas is definitely the favorite, but I like to spice things up a bit. It was basically between Dallas and Green Bay and I wanted to be different. Plus, there's 12 weeks to go and things are definitely bound to change. For all we know the Lions may be the hot NFC team heading into the playoffs. The NFC is a crap shoot.

That's true. Who knows what'll happen the rest of the year. Dallas may lose to the Bills tomorrow. Green Bay isn't looking as dominant against Chicago and Seattle got dominated by the Steelers...

The Redskins played surprisingly well as did the Giants, the NFC East is tough this year!!

I guess nothing would surprise me at this point...

NFC Favs

Dallas
Green Bay (unless they lose)
Washington

Yeah, I shouldn't have hopped off the Washington wagon so soon. They looked great in Weeks 1 and 2 and I was very impressed. Then they lost to the G-Men in Week 3 who had been horrible previously. I figured they were as inconsistent as the rest of the NFC. But to their defense, New York has run off 3 victories in a row.

Packers just gave up a TD with over 2 minutes to play. Let's see if they'll come back...

If Chicago wins, the NFC North just came back up for grabs. Same thing with SD killing the Broncos. There's definitely been some shifting of power this week.

Agreed! I was never really sold on the Packers, I mean, they have a solid team but not elite by any means. I would switch Washington with GB right now on my top three NFC teams. You're right, the Giants have looked pretty good these last couple of weeks! I still think Coughlin will find a way to squeeze 5 more losses out of them but who knows...
