Hmm..I guess all the Giants needed was a bye week. They took the Packers out behind the wood shed and whipped them good tonight.

Denver pretty much clinches the AFC West with their win today. I guess they need one more win to make it official, but they should have it next week. Pittsburgh might be in trouble if Ben can't get back here quick. They face Baltimore on the road next week, likely without him, so they could be down to 6-6 and fall a game back of Cincinatti. The Colts look to be in good shape for a playoff spot too as they only need to win 2 of their 5 remaining games to get in. Even 1 could be enough as the AFC continues to be pretty unimpressive outside of the top 3-4 teams.

San Francisco is certainly the real deal, and Atlanta despite their flaws still have a great W-L record. The Giants at times look like they could be the best team of the group. So it should be an interesting finish. The final playoff spot could get interesting if the Seahawks are without both corners for a 4 game stretch.
