San Fran is 5-2, having beaten us.
Arizona is 4-3, visits us next week.
We're 4-3.
I already presented the case that it's quite possible we don't catch the Bears, like 2010. And we can thrive as a Wildcard team, again. As we did then. But remember we got lucky as heck to get into the playoffs in 2010, needing the 3-13 Lions to win at the 10-5 (at that time) Tampa Bay Bucs in the final week, when Detroit hadn't won a road game in 2 years.
That grand theft in Seattle still bothers me tremendously because we should be 6-2 right now, but instead we are 5-3 with NFC losses to SF & Seattle.
I don't see a Wildcard team coming out of the NFC South. The NFC East has a jumbled mess behind NYG in Dallas, Philly, and RG3.
We should see Minny fade. And then there's the NFC West with Seattle & Arizona and I don't like the H2H steal to Seattle.
Arizona is a threat still as their defense is good and if they win today, they are tied with us.
So who should we be rooting for tonight?
I find myself naturally pulling for the underdog Cards.
