Who's in and Who's out? NFC Addition

With the playoffs arriving it is time to take a look at who is in and who is out in the NFC. Starting in the NFC West where the Cardinals have already clinched the division. As for the rest of the division, they can start preparing for next year. In the NFC South there is the best race in all of the NFL with all 4 teams within 3 games of each other. New Orleans is likely to miss the playoffs but anything could happen especially with the play of their MVP frontrunner QB Drew Brees. Not liking their chances though. The Atlanta Falcons are looking good though and even though I like their chances I think that Carolina will grab get it. As for the one winning this division I would have to go with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though they lost the head to head matchup against the Panthers I like the play of the team and QB Jeff Garcia who has experience in the playoffs. As for Carolina I think they will drop out if the division lead but will grab on to the first wild card spot. In the NFC North I like the Vikings who tripped up at the start to hold on to the division. But don't sleep on Chicago as they have a very good shot at coming back. The NFC East has been locked up by the Giants but I do like my last wildcard coming from this division. With three teams fighting for the spot I like the Dallas Cowboys. They have looked good despite last weeks breakdown at Pittsburgh and I think Tony Romo and Marion Barber will help them in. Barber has something to prove now that he's been called out. But don't expect them to get far.
