The Carolina Panthers can clinch a wildcard berth in the NFC next week by beating the New Orleans Saints. No team has ever started 1-7 and made the playoffs. For the Panthers, the formula is simple; win and your in, lose and go home. I don't think the Saints can beat this team, but I didn't think they would win any of their last 3 games, either.
The Saints won their third straight, thanks to the Falcons sitting their QB for the game. But give New Orleans some credit. They scored on a pretty good defense, and they have won 3 straight crucial games. Nobody else in the NFC other than the Panthers can say that. Next week's showdown with Carolina will be a grewat game to watch!
Minnesota lost to the Packers, but if the Rams lose tonight they can accomplish what the Vikings are incapable of on their own. Putting the Vikes in the playoffs. Of cours the Vikings could just win their last game, but that just conjures up memories of last year's collapse in Phoenix.
If the Rams lose to the Eagles they will also put themselves out of our misery and will be eliminated from the playoffs. Go Eagles! Very few teams in the NFC are less deserving of a playoff berth than the Rams!
An Eagles victory would also hand the West to the Seahawks. Which would make Seattle the worst division winner since a certain 8-8 Browns team from many years ago.
