Last week Houston, coming off of a win, took over the top seed in the AFC, and promptly lost Matt Schaub for the season, leaving their season in the hands of Matt Leinart. This week, Chicago comes off of a good win over the Chargers to keep pace with the Lions...and lose Jay Cutler for probably the rest of the regular season, leaving their season in the hands of Caleb Hanie or Josh McCown. Yeesh.
If not for Cutler's injury, I'd say the wild card race is down to 3 teams: Detroit, Chicago, and Atlanta. But with Chicago unlikely to keep their same pace up, the 2nd place NFC East team might have a chance at a wild card berth. Those teams are going to clobber each other though, bringing down the records of all involved.
Key Games this week:
Green Bay at Detroit - Who knew this Thanksgiving Day game was allowed to mean something? A Green Bay win here essentially clinches the division for them, but thanks to San Francisco, there will still be pressure on Green Bay to keep winning for HFA purposes.
New York Giants at New Orleans - The Giants need to keep pace with Dallas, while New Orleans wants to stay ahead of Atlanta. Plus, this could be a huge tiebreaker boost for the winner if both of these teams end up fighting for wild card positions.
