During the regular season, the NFL Playoff Race Bracket and Seeds reflect how the playoffs would stand if the season ended up to that point. The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor. There are no restrictions on intra-division games and the higher seed of any matchup will have home-field advantage.

AFC Playoff tiebreakers
  • Miami earns the No. 3 seed based on conference record over New England (8-4 to Patriots' 7-5)
  • San Diego earns the No. 4 seed based on division record over Denver (5-1 to Broncos' 3-3)
  • Baltimore earns the No. 6 seed based on conference record over New England (8-4 to Patriots' 7-5)
NFC Playoff tiebreakers
  • N.Y. Giants earn the No. 1 seed based on head-to-head record over Carolina (1-0)

Panthers fan here. Hopefully we can get a Wild card at least this year. Analysts usually say that every year. If Jake actually comes back and plays well plus we draft a good D Line we should be set to get at least 10 wins.

Titans. Hope they make it to the playoffs again. AFC South is a tough division so I expect competition from the Jaguars and Colts. Can't wait for the draft.

Yea you are absolutely right.  Though I don't see Atlanta doing anything and excuse the flamebait but they are garbage without Vick.  I'm a VT Hokie fan so there is kind of a bias in there.  I use to not really care about the Saints but now I hate them since Sean Payton took over.

@JP  I think Romo can throw 71 TD passes to TO. =P

Well since the draft is coming up in a week April 26-27 it gave me the idea to make this thread...

So any NFL(National Football League) fans here on vgchartz ? If so what is your favorite team and how far do you think they'll make it this season ?

My favorite team is the Green Bay Packers (1 game away from the super bowl last year ), with Favre retiring I somewhat lowered my expectations for this season. They should take the NFC North even with an unproven QB, since the only real competition is proably the Viqueens in the division. That said I think the Packers are good enough to secure a wildcard or playoff spot . Finishing it with an 9-7 record.

Go Packers !


OOOHhhhhh.....bring it on Bruce Lee! I'm a diehard Vikings fan. I smell war brewing...might have to duke it out on SSBB, lol (actually don't have the game yet).

I'm just praying that the Vikings get the Jared Allen trade done...even though I'd guess it will take a 1st and 3rd rounder (have two 3rd rounders this year) this year and a 2nd rounder next year. It will be worth it to see him tear into the Packers Rogers.

If they get Jared Allen, it will improve their secondary defense because they won't have to defend the pass for 10 seconds every down.

After that, I hope they pick up another wide reciever with the 2nd rounder....then go for depth on the 0-line, d-line, and secondary with their 3rd-7th rounders.

With the addition of Jared Allen, I expect 10-6, without, 9-7.

Adrian Peterson proved the offense can be a threat even with an inexperienced QB...and now Jackson has one full year under his belt and more weapons on the offense through free agency and possibly the upcoming draft. 

Should be a good season with a great battle between the Vikings and Packers. Good Luck!
