NFL Power Rankings

The season is rapidly closing, time to look ahead and see how the teams will finish.  I looked at the coming games for the next four weeks, picked out my winners/losers.  Here's what I ended up with.  

AFC

13 wins -- Pats, Broncos

11 -- Bengals, Colts, Chiefs

10 -- Dolphins

9 -- Ravens, Texans

8 -- Steelers, Browns, Chargers, 

7 -- Bills

5 -- Titans

2 -- NYJ, Jags, Raiders

1st round of the playoffs -- Pats, Broncos (bye), Dolphins at Bengals, Chiefs at Colts

Colts-Chiefs rematch (gotta go with Luck).  Andy Dalton gets a home game (not sure, the weather could be a huge factor in that match).  Pats, Broncos just waiting around to play each other.  

NFC

13 wins -- Packers

12 -- Eagles

11 -- Seahawks, Cowboys, Lions

10 -- Cards

9 -- Niners, Rams,

8 -- Falcons

7 -- Saints, Vikings

5 -- Bears

4 -- Panthers, NYG, Bucs

3 -- Redskins

1st round of the playoffs -- Packers, Eagles (bye), Cowboys at Falcons, Lions at Seahawks

Cowboys all-world OL against the Falcons brutally awful DL, gotta figure Romo pulls it out.  Lions have no offense against one of the best D's in the league, I'll take the Seahawks at home.  

Yeah, its a little early to make my playoff picks but that's what predictions are all about.  Looking over the coming schedule it looked to me like in addition to the Broncos, Pats and Packers punking everyone that unfortunately has to play them (Bills play all three down the stretch, ouch!), the Chiefs and Rams are gonna charge to the finish.  We'll see.
