    Root for Dallas, both of these teams are horrific.

    Yep. Need Dallas to win. That will knock out either Dallas or Green Bay next weekend and the Hawks damn near have another bye before hosting the NFC champ game.

    Doesn't really matter if Dallas wins tomorrow or not, Seahawks can beat Detroit rather easily and are playing GB the next week either way. I guess if your thought process is you want GB to have a tougher game before they face us that's something, but I really don't think it makes a difference.

    LOL at the Cardinals.

    Cam Newton is worse than Kaepernick and I don't think he's played in Seattle before. Their defense could completely shut Seattle down and they would still lose by 10.

    Does this mean that Carolina is the real SEC champion?

    Panthers have played Seattle tough the last few years. I can't see sCam handling the crowd though.

    There's an SEC hostile environment joke in here somewhere.

    Everything you said is true.

    On the other hand, Cam Newton could randomly get hot and Carolina has a reliable defense. Detroit fucking sucks.

    This. Carolina sucks, but Cam Newton is always a little scary, even though he's mostly pedestrian.

    Carolina also has a defense to make it a close, low scoring game.

    I've feared Detroit for a while.
    They look dangerous so far

    Stafford is fine against a shit defense in a neutral site game.

    In Seattle next week? Not the case.

    Detroit's the only team that really scares me:

    1) Strong defensive line that can wreak havoc on the Hawks at times POS OL

    2) A QB that can be jekyll or hyde at times ... but when he's good, he can be very good

    3) The best WR in the game in Megatron that even if you're doing everything right he can still hurt you

    Of all the teams in the NFC, they have the highest ceiling IF everything goes right on a given day. Their biggest problem is that they are inconsistent as fuck.

    If Detroit scares you more than Green Bay, you deserve Owen16.

    This is their coach:

    My eyes are clearly better than yours then.

    Green Bay has an average at best DL and in many of the their recent games against Seattle we've been able to run the ball effectively against them:

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=400554214

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=320924026

    The Packers have struggled in both of their last 2 trips into Seattle, particularly with respect to their OL play and keeping Rodgers upright. As a result, it has led to some very poor games for Rodgers by his standards.

    Moreover, Rodgers has shown a desire to avoid Sherman at all costs and they are bunching their offense over to the side of the field away from him. All that does is make things far easier on Seattle's defense.

    Hi. When's the last time Detroit played in Seattle?

    Detroit is a tougher game because they have an offense that could score. Both teams have strong defenses. Carolina's D may be playing better right now but Detroit's has been great all year. Difference is Carolina's offense won't do anything. Detroit at least has some guys who can make a few plays on the Hawks D. Carolina only beat Arizona by 12 points at home when Seattle beat them by 29 on the road.

    If Hawks are on their game they handle both rather easily.

    Carolina handed Arizona all 16 of the points they scored, but still.

    If their D was so great they would have held Arizona to field goals. Gave up TD's on both.

    That's some nice bulletin bored material if they make it to the NFC title game, but I'd still much rather see GB. Dallas' ability to control the clock is the only thing that scares me in the NFC. I think the Seahawks would beat them, but I'd rather not have to find out.

    I can't imagine Dallas holds up well on the frozen tundra, so it shouldn't be an issue.
