NFL Playoffs Right Around the Corner

Placeholder

With two weeks left in the NFL regular season, playoff talk is heating up. Right now, I believe there are five teams currently projected to be in the NFC playoffs and three teams projected to be in the AFC playoffs that have a real shot at winning it all. Those teams are the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Redskins, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots. If the New York Giants make the playoffs, then they are a threat given their recent playoffs success. Here is how I currently see things shaking out:

NFC

#2 – Green Bay Packers
#3 – San Francisco 49ers
#4 – Washington Redskins

#6 – New York Giants
