NFL Playoff Schedule Predictions!!!!!

As we head into the final week of the 2012 NFL season, there isn't as many crazy scenarios and possibilities as there has been in the past years. With that said, it is time for my annual guilty pleasure: Trying to predict the NFL playoff schedule. A few things to clear up before we get to the predictions. First, FOX should be getting the late game on Sunday of Wild Card weekend. Last year, CBS had that time slot, and they hit a home run when they got the Broncos-Steelers classic overtime game which of course featured Tim Tebow's memorable 80 yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime to give the Broncos the 29-23 win. This year it is FOX that gets that slot, so you know that they want to get a marquee game in that late window to finish off the weekend. Secondly, CBS will get the late game for the Divisional weekend on Sunday. Also, CBS will get the early game on Saturday afternoon, and FOX will get the primetime game on Saturday night and the early game on Sunday. The AFC playoff teams are set, but the top four seeds still need to be sorted out. The NFC is a little crazier, but it looks like Washington should win the NFC East with a win over Dallas at home, and either the Bears, Vikings, and Giants could grab the six seed. Minnesota has a tough game at home against the Packers, who are fighting for the 2 seed. The Bears travel to the 4-11 Lions, and the Giants host the 4-11 Eagles. The Giants need loses by Dallas, Chicago, AND Minnesota coupled with a win over Philly to get a wild card berth. As much as I would love to see the Bears go down at Detroit, they have the most viable option to get a wild card spot. Based on that logic and on my other theories for what will happen in Week 17, here is how I see the seeds in each conference:

NFC
1) Atlanta 14-2
2) Green Bay 12-4
3) San Francisco 11-4-1
4) Washington 10-6
5) Seattle 11-5
6) Chicago 10-6

AFC
1) Houston 13-3
2) Denver 13-3
3) New England 12-4
4) Baltimore 10-6
5) Indianapolis 10-6
6) Cincinnati 10-6
