They matchup well against the NFC North teams (they're probably better than Green Bay), but I don't like their chances against Seattle or San Fran.

I think they're a good team. But for the reasons mentioned here, and sprinkle in previous recent playoff failures when they've been expected to go all the way to creep into their minds, and from that, that extra week to think about the game and "over prepare" to make sure they don't lose (as opposed to win). Thus, using the W/L records for whichever team they face, will be fairly insignificant.
On another topic, plus in your fav player here to get a breakdown. Wilson at $544K is pretty good value I'd say...on the flip side, Matt Flynn isn't, and will likely head to another team this offseason who needs a QB. There are more then a few...question is, is Flynn the next Kolb especially after basically a year of not playing?
