“I think two of the hottest teams right now will lose their playoffs privilege?in week 17.? The Dolphins, currently on a three-game win streak, will lose to the Jets and the Eagles, also on a three-game win streak, will lose to the Cowboys.? The playoff race is tight this year in both conferences, we could possibly see two 10-6 teams in each division not make the playoffs.”

In the NFC, Atlanta isn’t making the playoffs. They will lose this weekend against the Vikings, and also Tampa Bay will lose this weekend against the Chargers. So?when the Eagles?win against the Redskins they will go ahead a half game over the Bucs and Atl at 9-5-1 to 9-6. As for the Dallas Cowboys they will win this weekend against the Ravens to put their record at 10-5 going into the finale with the Eagles and the winner will be the 5th seed and the loser would become the 6th seed as the wildcards. Even if Tampa Bay, Atl, and Dallas end up with 10-6 records Dallas would own the tiebreaker because they beat Tampa head-to-head, and also the Eagles beat Atlanta. So I’m looking at Giants, Panthers, Vikings, Cardinals, Eagles, Cowboys.
In the AFC, New England will be left out, as there are too many scenarios for others to make it over them, including Denver at 8-8 making it in over a possible 11-5 New England team, which is crazy to think. The Steelers are the class of the AFC joined by the Titans, Jets, Broncos, Colts and Ravens.
