Apologies, some sad old guys can't count to six, apparently.
Thanks for pointing it out, Alpe. I have added the two missing teams to my last pick post.

The Saints need a drug test from the owner to the water boy. They are not mentally in the game at kick off and the fights and dozens of mistakes throughout the game make me really wonder. The NFC South is a total mess.
Scratch that. It could happen. It almost happened last night. Granted, the Packers were the superior team, but if there had been a few bounced balls the Falcons direction, they could have stole that game.Alpe d'Huez said:Both New Orleans and Carolina are dangerous at times. I'd even say that with Atlanta. Imagine them getting a home game against Dallas, or a struggling Arizona, playing mistake free, having a few balls bounce their way... I can definitely see that, can't you? Going to Green Bay or Seattle and winning? Highly unlikely.

In fact, this is how the Giants won not 1, but 2 Super Bowls. They were mediocre all season, played well enough in the playoffs, got the match-up's that suited them, and had a few balls bounce their way. So yes, I can see Atlanta winning the Super Bowl. Not likely, but it's possible.
I also want to nominate Russell Wilson for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. He's also carrying his team, for those who haven't noticed.
The Hitch said:News from Houston is that Clowney is out for this season and quite possibly the next one too
And the injury he has is one which many failed to return from, and those that did came back a lot weaker.

NE, Indy, Denver, Phi, GB, Dal, Arizona.
I am now eliminating Dallas and Arizona. I too wish I had not eliminated Seattle. In the NFC I'm riding everything on Green Bay. In the AFC, I haven't made up my mind just yet.
For Survival Football™.
