re: After cooling down a bit after the Vikings game,

Then again, it all depends on scheduling. Most teams that were in the playoffs don't seem to be making it back the next year, at least in the NFC. I could see Philly or Vikings not making it back next year. ATL's home schedule should be a cakewalk which should easily give them a solid 7 wins.
Just dunno about Saints, Dallas, GB, SFs schedule.

It's all a crapshoot and EVERY season is played in a bottle. Never know what's gonna happen unless you're in the AFC and play in weak arse divisions like the Pats and Steelers do.
