Well, we're a little late in the season but I thought we should have a football thread. The playoff push is upon us and right now it seems like there is no clear cut favorite for the Super Bowl.
A few weeks ago, I thought Houston was the team to beat, then they got dismantled on Monday Night plus they got smoked by Green Bay, so the Texans have a lot to prove in the playoffs before I start to believe in them again.
In the NFC, it seems like a complete tossup. The Falcons are another team that I'm not sold on yet, the Giants might not get into the playoffs. San Fran looked great for 2 1/2 quarters, then blew a 28 point lead before hanging on. Green Bay might be the team to beat, provided they can get healthy.
As for my Steelers, I'm afraid it may be a lost cause, although if Baltimore tanks the last two games on their schedule and the Steelers win out, the playoffs may be possible, one can hope.
