Heading into the final quarter of 2014, who is the best team in the NFL?
 

We did this at the halfway point. Might as well at the 3/4 mark. Four games to go... 21 teams still within a spot of the playoffs.

AFC

1) New England 9-3
2) Denver 9-3

3) Cincinnati 8-3-1
6) Miami 7-5

4) Indianapolis 8-4
5) San Diego 8-4

Kansas City 7-5
Buffalo 7-5
Baltimore 7-5
Pittsburgh 7-5
Cleveland 7-5
Houston 6-6

NFC

1) Arizona 9-3
2) Green Bay 9-3

3) Philadelphia 9-3
6) Detroit 8-4

4) Atlanta 5-7
5) Seattle 8-4

Dallas 8-4
San Francisco 7-5
New Orleans 5-7

Pretty sure it's Green Bay.

NE and Denver are fading. I think the Colts will overcome this year.

Pretty clearly the Packers.

Denver or GB

Denver's emerging running game is going to make them tough.

Has to be the Packers right now.

Green Bay or Seattle.

whoever gets home field between Denver or NE probably goes to the Super Bowl and loses to either of the aforementioned teams

Seattle getting hot again.

I don't think there is one team clearly above the rest. I believe GB, NEP and DEN could all stake a claim and each really needs home field. They are the three best at this point.

Rodgers. Er, I mean Green Bay.

Seattle beat Denver. I guess Mile High Mania forgot already.

18 teams have a winning record, and there are only two games separating #1 and #18. That's pretty tough.

Real parity. A bunch of teams between 6-10 and 10-6, a few better than that, a few worse.

I'm very intrigued with the Seattle / Philly game Sunday. Personally, I think Seattle just rapes Sanchez. He made a lot of questionable throws against Dallas on Thursday that Dallas didn't really take advantage of. That isn't going to work against Seattle, who appears to be hot right now.

I bet Seattle wins that game pretty comfortably ... and if they do, they are pretty much a lock for the 2 seed because they won't lose another game after that.

I have a $20 bet riding on the Seahawks in that game with my roommate, who is an Eagles fan.

Caught him while he was talking shit after beating up on the Cowboys. I'm feeling pretty comfortable about that bet.

Clearly the raiders. They win the Draft.

Gb/ne are the two best
