The Playoffs are around the corner, Christmas and Chanukah are also upon us, and teams are shopping for the final playoff spot as we struggle to shop for that final perfect gift. Small sidebar, instead of the mass population trying to be politically correct every year and using the term holiday season for the month of December, lets just call it Christmakah, it is used by few already, has a good ring to it, and satisfies both affiliations without degrading either. Jewish people do believe in Jesus, as just a carpenter, but I'm sure his carpentry skills could create one hell of a Menorah, and yes Christians he would make the oil burn forever if that would make you happy. To be honest in a recession like we are in now, bring on those loaves of bread and endless fish I've read about, we could use it, the second coming couldn't come at a better time. It would help my 401k, feed the hungry, and he would be able to cure Cancer and AIDS, cancer first because you can't do anything about getting it, AIDS second because you should have listened better in 5th grade. Was that a bit of a tangent? (Yes for those of you who think I don't want a cure, I do! Cancer should come first in my opinion!) Where was I? Oh yeah, Football and Playoffs!
NFC- Giants and Arizona have spots wrapped and put under the tree, yet with the way they are playing they are going to be the first ones opened and returned to the store. The Cardinals got smoked by the Vikings, and the Giants look like a college team without having a real running attack since Brandon Jacobs has been hurt. Carolina is the best team in the NFL and should clinch that division. They will beat the Giants next Sunday night. Minnesota looks good in the NFC North. Leaves two wild card spots. I feel the Eagles will win out and take one by having Tampa or Atlanta taking the other, giving either of those teams the other spot. My guess is Atlanta I know a lot of people think I'm done not to include the Cowboys... but that's my opinion and we'll see how it plays out.
AFC- Pitt, Tennessee have it locked, and Denver is very close to doing the same. Leaves the AFC East and 2 wild cards up for grab. The Colts will take one wild card, also watch out for Peyton's team to pull a Giants of last year and win the Superbowl going in as a wild card. AFC east is a mess, three teams dead-locked at 9-5. so many scenarios so I'll keep it short. The Patriots will make the playoffs by winning the AFC east and not because of who is on the field, but who is on the sideline. Coach Belichick will find a way to get his team back to the playoffs
On to this week's Power of 5--
1. Panthers- defense wins, add a running game and strong O-Line you win a lot
2. Steleers- Gutsy win over the Ravens, even if the refs forgot the rules of what constitutes a TD
3. Giants- much like DMX or an old lady, they are Slippin' Fallin' and they can't get up
4. Colts- Yes they are behind Tennessee in their division, but if the two played, Colts would win
5. Tennessee- Kerry Collins has laid off the bottle for the first 12 weeks, maybe he picked it back up
