We are getting down to it now with only 5 games remaining. It's make or break time for all teams involved.
Last week played out like I thought it would, there really were no surprises. In saying that though, I do think San Fran is currently playing the worst football in the division and at this point in time may be the worst team in the division.
Since we have a Thursday night game I thought I'd get it started early this week.
As things stand
AZ 9-2
Sea 7-4
SF 7-4
STL 4-7
Seattle will Travel to Santa Clara to play the SF 49ers, in a game that very will could decide which team still has a shot at the division, and possibly a wild card. San Fran has been very underwhelming this season. Third in the division in both PF and PA..... The most consistent thing they do is play down to their opposition. Whether it is needing 5 interceptions from Eli, and barely getting a 16-10 win, or barely scrapping by a horrible Redskins team. I think it's clear that they aren't a team that strikes fear into the opposition, especially with a weak home field. They have a better road record than home if that says anything. I think Seattle is clearly the better team, they by far have the better QB, the better defense, and the better coaches. While I think Seattle wins this game. I really am hoping Seattle finds a way to lose, so they can win in Seattle later in the year. I think it's something like 27-17 hawks.
Arizona travels to Atlanta, who after tonight may be the first place team in the NFC South at 4-7. They feature the 32nd ranked defense in the league which might just be what captain stare down Stanton needs to win outside of UoP. They have an average offense. Winning cures everything and a win this week would go a long way towards securing a playoff spot. The Defense has only allowed 1 touchdown in 10 quarters. I think our Defense will overwhelm their offense, as they have to most opponents this year, and our average offense should be able to take advantage of the only team giving up over 400yds a game to the opposition.
St. Louis will host the Raiders, and the way St. Louis has been playing I doubt they lose this game. St. Louis really has a good team, and some unfortunate luck. They got absolutely robbed of a win this week. They could very easily be contending for the division as well if it wasn't for some just straight up bad luck.
