yes, you got that right. It's no jinx or arrogance to start thinking bigger about this season.

The path seems very clear. Win OUR home division games, take care of the two games against the dregs and this team is dancing.

I think there are other scenarios in which WE make it, including a very real likelihood of a nine win team making it into the NFC this year. However, this one seems the most logically straightforward avenue.

Agree with Nas. Too early for this thread.

I've already made my preseason predictions. No need to upset the football Gods and end up Mushing the Bears. #Focus

This Vikings game is really the linchpin to the whole scenario. Win this and they are sitting pretty. Win and have the Packers lose a road prime time game against Seattle and I will break out

Not early at all, Too 5 D and top 5 offense.. Were going to the playoffs.

It's not too early to talk playoffs.

They're gonna get 10 wins for sure. So they're in. It's just a matter of Wild Card or division winners. And it's Bears vs. Vikings. Packers have no shot.

Probably gonna take 11 to win the division. And you have to at least split with the Vikings, obviously.

These are statements that make me nervous and have a way of coming back to bite people.

I like the Bears chances, but to say the Packers with Rodgers has no shot is dumb.

But no way will the Bears get a bye. That's obviously gonna be the Rams and the Saints. So we'll play on Wild Card weekend if we win the division. And we'll be favored in that game.

When Rodgers is dead or retired that's the only way I'll believe that he doesn't have a chance. I'll have a better read on the Bears after Sunday. Minnesota has a lot of weapons.

Rams will lose this weekend, setting up a huge game between the Rams and the Bears down the line for that second bye

You gotta keep up with the Panthers, too. They look like they have 10 wins in the bag already, with a chance at 11.

The Rams D is kinda dogshit, I expect KC to drop 40 plus on em. I think the Bears can drop 40 on em. They don't rush the QB

I'll say it, the Packers have no shot. They are going to get killed by the Seahawks this week.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I also think that the Rams are a paper tiger. Good team but Goff stays in the pocket and I think that the BEars will KILL a pocket QB. And I think that KC will drop a lot of points on them in a shootout.

I’ll make a complete non-prediction and say the teams that have the fewest big injuries will get the byes. One day I may even bravely predict the team that wins the turnover battle will probably win.
