Interesting poll on NFL.com, which of the 4 current Wild Card teams is most likely to not end up in the playoffs?

Vikings, Packers, Dolphins, or Colts. I think it's the Colts as the Steelers should be able to end up with a better record. But 9 wins will get you a WC spot in the AFC, and the Colts might pull it off. They still have Buffalo, Tennessee,and Miami at home, plus road games against the two worst teams in football in KC and Jacksonville.

Miami has three tough games to go with two vs. new England, and at the 49'ers. They also have two with the Bills, and the Seahawks to go. So really this game in Indy is huge for these two teams.

I look at Pittsburgh, and they're remaining schedule is pretty nice. I really can't see them losing more than 2 of those games and three tops. Baltimore is banged up, and I think they could lose the Division. But I think they still win 4 of their remaining 9 which gets them a Wild Card spot.

The Texans, Patriots, and Bronco's will run away with their Divisions, and really it could be a 3 way fight for that 2nd seed.

In the NFC, it's a lot of the same. Atlanta, and San Fran pretty much have their Divisions. The Giants schedule gets rough, but I still think they can go 4-4 so that wins them the East. The North is the only Division to be contested, but really Chicago and Green Bay are both playoff bound. Question is, can Minnesota hold off the group of Seattle, Arizona, Philly, Dallas, Detroit, and Tampa who are all 3-4 or 4-4? I think the Vikes have three losses left against GB/Chi. So let's say at best they can go 4-4....is any of Phi, Dal, Det going to win 6 of their last 9? Seattle does have 5 home games left, so maybe they can get to 9 wins and knock out Minnesota.
