I'm really liking the close race in the NFC North, and frankly, I'd prefer to see Detroit with a division win over Chicago or Green Bay. It's conceivable that a wildcard *could* come out of that division as well, but they'll need some help from the Niners or Panthers. There's really only a few teams in the NFC that have practically no chance at all of a wildcard berth: Atlanta, Tampa, and Minnesota.

The Rams have been pretty inconsistent this year, but I'd say they are easily the best 4th place team in the entire league. They're capable of beating tough teams - It really has come down to whether or not they show up to play, which for the most part they have not.

Manning was sacked 4 times that game. It was unreal. Somehow the Colts were able to destabilize Manning and put the pressure on. You better bet the Chiefs will try the same tactics for game 10. I'm not going to lie, I'm shakin in my boots!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I'd really prefer a Niners victory over the Saints to give Seattle a full two-game lead for home field advantage (assuming they beat Minnesota) - they're just too streaky to pick 'em on the road against a great team though.

Man, the Buccos go from 0-8 to 1-8 and suddenly they've got a bandwagon.
