Well after taking a few days to mull over the results of week 8 of the NFL season I’ve decided a few things are clearer and a few things are foggier.

Indianapolis Colts

Is it really possible that this team could sneak into the playoffs as a Wild Card team after being the worst team in the NFL the previous season.  There were some questions as to whether Luck or RG3 should be the number one pick in the 2012 draft but looking back now I think Luck is the better player but both have played extremely well for rookies in the NFL.

New York Giants and Chicago Bears

These teams are for real, I think.  Both teams won in week 8 but they didn’t look very confident in their wins.  The Giants have won 2 Super Bowls so I don’t count them out of making another run this year and the Bears defense is as nasty as any defense in the NFL.  Both of these teams will make the playoffs and I wouldn’t be surprised if one made a Super Bowl run.

New York Jets

There done.

Philadelphia Eagles

As much as I respect Andy Reid as a Head Football coach in the NFL, I think it is time that he moved on.  He has done a great job in that position and I think that there will be plenty of teams lining up to hire him, but he needs a new city and a new team.  As for Michael Vick, he would be okay with a lot of teams as a starter but he needs a team that is more known for its defense than its offense.

Atlanta Falcons

They are going to lose at some point during the regular season, aren’t they? Their remaining schedule includes 2 games against Tampa Bay, 2 against New Orleans, Cowboys, Giants, Cardinals, Lions and Panthers.  The Giants will be a test as will the Lions, but beyond that I don’t see the other games on their schedule that really frighten me.  They may have a bad game and lose one but that is about the only way they will lose one.

This Weeks Super Bowl Picks

Houston Texans vs. the Atlanta Falcons.  This could be a great matchup.  The Texans will have an easier time through the playoffs than the Falcons will have in my opinion.
