After today's games all of the playoff spots will be set and it will be time for the playoffs.
Ok fans, who is going to win it all?

I'll tell you who it won't be...the overrated Tom Brady and his PatsiesWow, what a brave prediction! Please tell me which of this year's play-off participants couldn't be considered overrated? Parity in the NFL has arrived! Including, Brett Farve and his Packers who just got smoked.

I've been picking the Eagles for the NFC since early in the season, so I see no reason to stop now. If McNab gets back, they will be tough to beat with home field advantage. The Pack really hurt themselves by not clinching home field against the Jets. I think Green Bay needed Lambeau Field to get to San Diego.
I still think the AFC is a total crap shoot. While the Raiders are the favorites, neither the Titans, Steelers nor Jets should be taken lightly. Tennessee has been playing great football for the past couple of months, and Pittsburgh is putting things together at the right time. There is no hotter team than the Jets right now, either.
That being said, I will be rooting for the Steelers. I've been a Pittsburgh fan since before their first playoff victory in 1972.
Miami Dolphins....maybe the biggest choke of all time.The 'Fins only get 2nd place for the biggest choke -- #1 goes to the Saints. They lost to Cincy, Minnesota and Carolina down the stretch (and Detroit early in the season). They had the easiest schedule late in the season, yet blew it big time.
where does that put Vinny Testaverde, the Drew Bledsoe if you will?There's a big difference between the Brady and Pennington situations. The Jets have always considered Pennington the QB of the future in NY -- this season just happened to be the future. Brady was a late round draft pick who was pressed into service due to an injury to the established starter. Also, Vinny's career is winding down, and he will be content as a backup. However, Bledsoe is still in the prime of his career and did not want to take a backseat long term.
That being said, Pennington does look like the real thing. He's intelligent, calm, and makes few mistakes. He certainly helped me win my fantasy league this year.
