Chris Hogan is not far away and I THINK Malcolm Mitchell could be back soon. If so, the Pats look the goods for the AFC title. IF the Steelers get home ground advantage in the playoffs, they're a chance. The rest don't look like it.
I like the Vikings in the NFC BUT it's very wide open with a month to go before playoffs. Despite their injuries, the Seahawks could make a Western Bulldogs type run and you still can't write off the Eagles or even another 3-4 teams. Very exciting.
Yeah Vikes play the panthers this week and that will have a big say in what happens in the NFC as well.
Unfortunately for the Vikes, GB will be getting Aaron Rodgers back for our xmas showdown, which will turn a gimme game into a 50-50 contest.
If the Vikes can get through those 2 games with 2 wins, then the Bengals and the Bears will be gimme games and see the Vikes with home field advantage all through the playoffs...including the superbowl, which would be unprecedented.
Pats and Steelers seem to be in a 2 horse race for the AFC.
I don't know if its my NFC bias, but i reckon the AFC is a much easier conference to be in.
