Yeah, you can definitely toss out SF if they're not the 1 seed as the path would involve @ Philly, @ Chicago, and @ NFCC game. No shot with that defense.

But if they can get the bye - I expect Fred to come back and play 3rd downs and get that team running through walls.

Agree with all of your analysis. I only eliminated the loser of that game because the 4, 2nd Tier SB winners were either a #1 or #2 seed. It doesn't mean that won't change at some point though.

@HUNT This is after the early games today. Buffalo is the only team that can reach 20 points now. The teams in the negative highly unlikely to reach the Super Bowl. Its only happened once.
