I actually think they will beat Arizona. AZ stinks on the road, every loss but one was on the road. The lone home loss was to the Giants. They have major trouble running the ball against descent competition especially on the road.

I think the only real challenge for NE is maybe @ Buffalo and they arent playing that great right now either. Oakland and Seattle stink even though both are on the road NE should roll them both.

I think NE can go 11-5 and at worst 10-6. At 10-6 they can sneak into the last playoff spot. Baltimore has 4 TOUGH games and could go 1-3 or 2-2. They have Washington, Pittsburgh, @ Dallas, and Jacksonville.

Im not sure how the tie breaker between NE and Baltimore would go if both are 10-6 though.

Indy just has to go 2-2 to basically clinch a playoff berth since they beat NE and Baltimore and have the tie breakers.

If i'm not mistaken, the tie-breaker goes to the team with the biggest Points For/Points Against differential if the two teams have the same record and haven't played each other. So if that happened, the Ravens would beat out the Pats.

I think the Pats can win their last 4 games, but if any would trip them up it would most likely be Buffalo (but I still doubt they would lose to the Bills).

Ravens will probably lose to Pittsburgh, Dallas, and probably Washington if i'm thinking correctly. I just think those 3 teams are too much for Flacco to handle; they got smoked by the G-men, of course.. but they also should've been beaten by the Browns (down by 13 in the 2nd half, but the Browns choked) and they only put up 3 and allowed 31 to a (at the time) terrible Colts team.

If the Pats made the playoffs, I'd feel almost as good as if they had won the SB after all the injuries and everything this season lol... alright, maybe it wouldn't feel that good, but it'd be absolutely nuts to see them make the playoffs with all those injuries and everything that's gone on this year.

I hope the first round of the AFC Playoffs end up with Colts-Broncos and Pats-Jets; those would be 2 realllllllyy good games! I could see the wild cards winning both of those; either way, the Jets will most likely either play the Pats or Ravens which will not be good news for them.

What do you guys think about the Federal judge overriding the NFL's suspension decision?

A federal judge on Friday blocked the NFL from suspending five players for violating the league's anti-doping policy. U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson said he needed more time to consider the case after hearing several hours of arguments from the league and the NFL Players Association. Kevin Williams and Pat Williams of the Vikings and Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will Smith of the Saints were suspended this week for four games each for testing positive for a banned diuretic in the dietary supplement StarCaps. The union argued the NFL didn't properly inform players about the substance. The NFL's attorneys argued that that claim, and others, had been considered and rejected in a process set out by the league's collective bargaining agreement.
