1. 8's a lot in a playoff game

Sounds like they are trying to draw some money in from Bills and Titans fans.

7. The Bills will really miss LeSean McCoy

if he's not cleared to play. I hope he can suit up and be healthy enough to deliver a quality game, but it's not looking all that positive.

8. An indictment of the quality of the playoff teams this year.

There are a lot of bad teams in it this year. A lot.

2. As a Panthers fan

I expect them to lose by 10+ points. They haven't been particularly good against good teams.

3. I think the Saints intentionally lost their game

Once it became apparent that the Falcons were going to win. The Rams were already trying for the coveted 4th position by resting ther starters. Now the Saints have the Panthers at home and the Eagles on the road (if they win). Of course the Falcons could beat the Rams and destroy those plans. Everyone wants to play the Eagles in the Division games. The Rams are now slotted to the Vikings if they win.

4. NFC seems wide open to me

I could see any of the Saints, Falcons, Vikings or Rams making it to the Super Bowl. Panthers and Eagles not so much. If I had to pick I'm going with the Rams.

6. I wouldn't want to play the Eagles

Speaking as a Cardinals fan. They have a chance against most teams but not the Eagles or Rams. Time will tell on all this but any team in now has a chance.

9. The Eagles are very beatable due to them having to use their backup QB.

Nick Foles is hardly what one would consider top-caliber. Even the Raiders were tied with them with less than a minute to go (in Philly) and we suck.

10. I wasn't sure on Carson Wentz status

I guess he has a torn ACL I didn't think of that. Having a bye is a huge advantage under this format though.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

11. I don't think the current Eagles offense can keep up with the Vikings D.

Though, if I were a betting man, I would bet that the Eagles lose their first game of the playoffs.

[JonLP24]

12. I forgot about Wentz

Though Minnesota is down to a backup too but Eagles have a good D I remember they shut down the Cardinals so much they basically forced them to pick up AP.

[JonLP24]

13. I knew there was a reason why I wouldn't want to play the Eagles

[JonLP24]

5. Unless the #6 seed wins

If Minnesota is the #1 seed #6 would play #1 #4 vs #2
