The two hottest teams in the NFL are the Eagles and the Patriots. But if the Eagles were to play the Patriots today, they would get crushed. The Eagles have one playmaker and that is McNabb. Next to him, they don't have wide receivers that make big plays and running backs who are consistent. Their defense can't stop the run and overall it is ranked 18th. This team not only can't compete with the Patriots, but they don't come close to the Chiefs, the Titans or the Colts. Yes the Eagles have won 8 in a row but 6 of those wins were against team that will most likely miss the playoffs. The second best team in the NFC are the Rams. They have 9 wins but they have not been playing very dominating football as of late. They nearly lost 2 of their last games to teams which they are clearly better than, they Cardinals and the Bears. Three weeks ago the Ravens held the greatest show on turf to 121 total yard on offense. They won the game only because the Ravens coughed up the ball 7 times. Other teams from the NFC headed to the playoffs include the Panthers, the Cowboys and the Seahawks. Carolina has lost 3 in a row and the only good team they have beat the entire season is Indy, and that was back on Week 6. The Cowboys have lost 3 out 4 proving they are not ready to compete with the big boys (lost to PHI, NEW, and MIA). Seatlle just can't win on the road. The only team they have beaten on the road this season is the Cardinals. AFC baby. AFC all the way to the title.
