Earlier today, we posted the PFTV clip with our AFC playoff predictions. Some of you laughed, some of you cried. Others threatened to steal our luggage.
So we’re back for more punishment, with the NFC playoff predictions.
Here they are. (And feel free to add your own predictions in the comments. As if you needed permission.)

Really no Giants? I know Strahan, Umenyiora, Wilson and Mitchell are all gone but the defense will still be Top 10 in the league if you ask me.
East: Cowboys
South: Saints
North: Vikings
West: Cardinals
Wild Card: Giants
Wild Card: Seahawks

By the way Joe, you have 4 of last years’ 6 teams (not 5). The Skins not the Eagles made the playoffs last year.

Mentioned the Lions before the Packers in the North? And having the Vikings as a clear favorite? Yikes Florio.

Is Rodgers the worst QB ever? no he is not so why the hell does everyone think the Packers are just going to crumble away? The Packers will make the playoffs and I think they will beat out the Vikings for the NFC North with a 11-5 record.

Gotta remember the Packers Florio/PFT. Overtime away from the super bowl… This team is very talented. Yes we all know the Favre factor, but the one thing I’ve learned is when we question Ted Thompson’s decisions, he’s always proved us wrong. Vikes have been picked to win it all how many years in a row now??

It is kind of a bizzaro world where both commentators don’t have the Packers in the playoff when everyone else does. Packers are better than the Giants, for one.

4267 days since the Cowboys won a playoff game.
Packer fans, gotta love your hope. 0 games started. Injury prone. Too many things going against you.

Yeah the Packers proved that they were better than the Giants at home during the NFC championship when the Giants outplayed them in every aspect of the game.
I’m loving Florio picking against the Giants like his brilliant prediction for SB 42 which was 42-10 Patriots.

It happened the last TWO years. In 2007, Dallas, NY, and Washington all made the playoffs. In 2006, Philly won the east, beat the Giants in the playoffs, and let’s not forget Tony Romo fumbled the snap.
And it will happen again this year unless Aaron Rodgers is the real deal.

The Giants defensive line will take a step back. That will cause a step back for the defense, which will force the Giants offense to try to score more. I’ll have to see that to believe it.

I find it interesting that Green Bay is not even in the play-offs with your choices!! Favre leaving did not demolish the team. In fact, it probably will strengthen it some knowing everyone is behind Rodgers and not taking any more of the hostage situation.
Defense is basically the same as last year and they were in the top 10, including a pounding of MN at 34-0. The offensive line is having some movement, but the way they practice could lead to a better offense than last year. Favre was only sacked 19 times and Rodgers is more mobile!
Special teams have improved over last year and will have a big impact on games.
So Favre leaving sends us that far down the food chain in the Black and Blow division??!!

WOW! No love for the Giants, everyone has the Cowboys in & I think they will implode this year (Dopey coach with other coach breathing down his neck, Hard Knocks creating and ego/hollywood atmosphere, and as always TO’s big mouth should make an appearance)& a lot of folks picking the Eagles?! They have to be Eagle fans because I am sorry, I just don’t see it. Maybe I am blind but what has changed for the Eagles from last year? Why are they all of the sudden the possible darlings? I don’t get it………

uuuuhhhh, if anyone could predict these things correctly, they wouldn’t be screwing around on here, they’d be living it up in Vegas and banging showgirls.
As a level headed Packer fan, I have no idea what they are going to do. All I know about the central is the Bears will suck.
