This is what I think the seedings will look like in seven weeks:
AFC
1. Indianapolis
2. San Diego
3. Cincinnati
4. New England
5. Pittsburgh
6. Baltimore

I can't even put into words how upset I am at them for leaving him in like that,'' J.R. Rickert told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a text. "Fortunately, he's doing well.''
They probably watched the MNF game and said "You lost to the BROWNS? Get out!"Bills have fired coach Dick Jauron.
My mid-season playoff forecast:
AFC
1. Indianapolis
2. New England
3. Cincinnati
4. San Diego
5. Houston
6. Baltimore
BYES: Indy and New England
Wild Card Matchups:
Baltimore at Houston
San Diego at Cincinnati
NFC
1. Minnesota
2. New Orleans
3. Arizona
4. NY Giants
5. Philadelphia
6. Atlanta
BYES: New Orleans and Minnesota
Wild Card Matchups:

I like your thinking!
I realize that the Pats getting the #1 seed is nothing but a pipedream after Sunday's loss, but getting the #2 seed is ALMOST as important. You still get a bye, and you still host a second round game.
Bills have fired coach Dick Jauron.
Also, #1 seeds have not exactly defended their home field well in recent years. At least one top seed has gone down in the divisional playoffs four years running.
In fact, no #1 seed has hoisted the Lombardi Trophy since the 2003 Pats. (Their other SB winning teams were #2 seeds)
The Browns are 3.5 point dogs to the 1-25 Detroit Lions. This should tell you just how bad these Browns really are. Wow!
PS, I'm cashing in the 401K and betting it all on the Lions to cover.
In brighter news, JaMarcus Russel has been officially benched for Bruce Gradkowski this week.
The Bengals are licking their chops.
One word to describe my thoughts on this upcoming game- massacre.
