NFL Playoff Picture 2016: Best, worst case scenarios for each NFC team

[Kevin Greene]

Very nice summary of each team's best case scenarios.

I'll just quote Carolina and Arizona.

Quote

Panthers fans should root for … A Carolina win over the Buccaneers to secure first place and home field advantage throughout. Despite the Panthers matching up well against the Seahawks (and beating them earlier this year), they'd probably prefer to avoid Seattle if possible. The best chance of that? Green Bay and Arizona winning Sunday, making Seattle the No. 6 seed going to Green Bay (where they lost earlier this year) and Minnesota the 5 at Washington. Hope Green Bay can beat Seattle and you get the Vikings or Redskins.

Cardinals fans should root for … The Panthers to lose and the Cardinals to win, giving Arizona the No. 1 seed. Beating Seattle and getting the No. 2 seed isn't a bad consolation prize, however. Regardless of what happens in the Vikings-Packers game, Seattle isn't coming to town in the divisional round as they'd be the No. 6 seed. Arizona would draw a matchup against the Packers, Redskins or Vikings if they secure the No. 2 seed. This is where we start to wonder if it's better to be the No. 2 seed. (It's not unless you're petrified of Seattle.)

ARZ shouldn't have nobody to be afraid of. If anything SEA, CAR, WAS, MINN should hope they get favorable match ups.

The narrative that the 2015 Seahawks are this scary behemoth is false. There weaknesses haven't changed and they haven't suddenly stopped being the team they've been all year. Let them make back to back east coast trips while we chill and prepare. Redskins play better at home then the road so it won't be an easy win for them.

Just like it took 2 weeks before a team was able to adjust and attack the lack of Bene, teams will start attacking the hole left by Tyrann Mathieu in the coming weeks.

Also "shouldn't have nobody" is a double negative.

I don't think this means what you think it means.

 

 

Regardless of who Arizona should be afraid of, you my friend, should be afraid of a 6th grade English test.

Yeah, I was wondering who the hell that guy was. Coming out of the woodwork now

I would like to see what Cousins could do to Seattles defensive backfield.  I think the Skins win that one.

Skins are tough at home. I think they win their first game. Don't think they beat CAR or ARI away tho.

Gimme Bridgewater and Cousins at home over Wilson/Lynch any day of the week.

Me too.  I think the NFC final four could be Minn @ Carolina and Skins @ Arizona

Media hasn't. I've watched every Panthers game and I've watched Cardinals games. I'm actually a Panthers fan but I'm just being objective when it comes to my views about this year's playoffs.
