I don't think I've ever seen the NFC so wide open this late in the season. Right now, these would be the playoff team (you could make a strong argument for why any of those teams can make the Super Bowl):
Minnesota 10-2
Philly 10-2
LA Rams 9-3
New Orleans 9-4
Seattle 8-4
Carolina 8-4
Plus, while Matt Ryan isn't playing like he did last year, Atlanta, who is barely the odd team out right now, could get easily get hot and make a run like last year. And while they are 6-6, there is always the slim chance that the Packers could squeeze in, if they beat Cleveland today, and then Rodgers comes back, they win out, and the tiebreakers fall their way.
Minnesota at Carolina and Philly at Rams are two huge games today in deciding what the NFC playoff picture will look like.
