I'm going to suck that Niner Kool-Aid down and say WE win the West!
SF has SEA next week, and ARI has the Vikings... likely the Vikes will win and the Niners creamed the lowly Seahwaks the first time this season...
IF that happens, the next game for each team will be...
A Monday Night Matchup at Candlestick! BIG chance there, and if the Niners win, they'll have swept the series (they won the first game this year) and have the tiebreaker.
SF then has PHI, STL, and DET.
ARI has STL, DET, GB.
SO... both teams beat the lowly Rams and Lions, Niners lose to Eagles (though hopefully not) and Cardinals lose to Packers, both teams wind up 9-7, and the Niners, with the tiebreaker, make the playoffs!
A bit difficult and out there, I know, but it IS possible... and I can dream. ;)
Super Bowl- I've said Vikings all year long, and I stick by that... it's just a question of what AFC team they'd beat... Pre-Season I said Chargers, but that looks a bit of a long shot now... Brady and the Patriots or Manning and the Colts would be an EPIC QB showdown...
I'd root for Manning vs. Favre, both really great guys, and truly two of the strongest arms and up ther with the best ever QBs ever... and Brady's a prima dona jerk...
