Gazing into Balls’ crystal balls

Trust me,  you do NOT want to see the other images I considered for this post.

This will be my weekly outlook as to who will make the playoffs,  who won’t,  who will win,  and who won’t.

Essentially,  it will be an exercise in pissing Hippo and Moose off.

TO THE STANDINGS!

AFC

What about that game last night,  huh? It seemed like whoever had the ball last would win and then the Rams D showed up and intercepted two late Mahomie throws to seal the victory.

The loss drops the Chiefs closer to the Steelers although they are still ahead for the #1 seed.  New England has a cake schedule and should surpass the Steelers for the #2 seed and the bye that goes with it.

Here is how I see them finishing:

#1 – Kansas City

#2 – New England

#3 – Pittsburgh

#4 – Houston

#5 – San Diego

#6 – Baltimore

Playoffs

Pittsburgh beats Baltimore. Houston beats San Diego.

New England beats Pittsburgh.  KC beats Houston.

New England beats KC.

NFC

Last night’s win allowed the Rams to keep up with the Saints even though New Orleans maintains the #1 seed position due to their win at home. It won’t matter as the Saints schedule is more difficult than the Rams’.

Here is how I see them finishing:

#1 – Rams

#2 – Saints

#3 – Bears

#4 – Cowboys

#5 – Panthers

#6 – Seahawks

Playoffs

Seahawks beat Bears.  Panthers beat Cowboys.

Seahawks beat Rams. Saints beat Panthers.

Saints beat Seahawks.

Superb Owl:

Saints beat New England.

Go ahead, yell at me and tell me I’m stupid. Yes,  I’ll keep track of how my predictions change over the course of the next few weeks to see how wishy washy I am.
