Can you believe that if it actually goes down this way, the NFC title game would be hosted in SEATTLE? Ay caramba!

Same way I see it too. In the AFC New England and Pittsburgh look like the clear best teams in the NFC it's all up in the air so I'll take the lower seeds.
Patriots, Steelers, Bears and Falcons, though obviously I'm hoping for a Green Bay upset. The Packers and Ravens get no favours by winning on Sunday and then getting a short turn-around week against opponents who have already had more rest.
Can't pick against the Jets now, and what's more, if our path to the SuperBowl means beating Manning and Brady in back to back weeks, all the more awesome. And yes, I will be heartbroken if the Jets don't get it done, because I'm a Jets fan.
The Ravens D will be looking to absolutely murder Big Ben. Ed Reed's playing with an enormous chip on his shoulder, and with a bye I don't know Troy Polumalu will be in the swing of things or not. You know the running game will NOT work on either side, and Flacco has better targets IMO.
Marshawn Lynch probably will not do anything remotely close to what he did against the Saints defense in Chicago. The real question is whether Jay Cutler will show up to play.
Falcons are already on the bus. I love the commercial, I think if Chunky soup and Madden can have curses, Play 60 can be a boon. That said this game will be very tight with a highly talented Packers defense trying to rattle a highly talented Falcons offense.

I get that, though I think any rating system is flawed when one team is ranked behind another team even though that team beat the other team on a neutral field (and has a better record).
