It's 180-degree opposite of what happened to them last year with the commies, and now they're 5-3, and this is going to propel them into the postseason.

They still go at Philly, at Green Bay.

They're still in that miserable division, so I don't think the Bears are going to get in.

Sorry if that ruins anybody's parade.

All right.

Next up, Mike Ryan, you go first on this one.

The NFC One seed will be, and as a reminder, this is not an evaluation of who you think is the best team.

It's who's going to wind up with the best record in the conference.

How say you?

I think it's going to be the Eagles.

You know, everything becomes rhetorical the more you talk about it as much as we talk about pro football.

But have you looked at the standings in the last week or so?

I think I can now officially switch over for the last three, four years.

We've said, oh, well, the AFC is where all the good teams are.

No.

I think it's now the NFC is now a tick better than the AFC.

I mean, look, just the West alone, the heavyweights with the Niners, who we're talking about not making it, and the Hawks, the Rams and Niners is huge this weekend.

One shout to the Bucs, though.

Their fate is determined by their next three.

The Patriots at Buffalo at the Rams.
