Here's my playoff picture for the NFC:

NFC East Winner: Dallas (14-2)
NFC North Winner: Green Bay (14-2)
NFC South Winner: Tampa Bay (11-5)
NFC West Winner: Seattle (10-6)

1st Wildcard: New York Giants (11-5)
2nd Wildcard: Minnesota Vikings (10-6)

The best Dallas has ever finished is 13-3. While I'd love to see them finish 15-1, I keep thinking they'll drop one of the next four. They have two division games left and those are never easy. Also, they have to go on the road twice.

The scariest wildcard team would have to be the Vikings if they really finish 10-6. that would put them on a seven game win streak going into the playoffs. Also (in my scenario), they'd be playing Seattle, who I believe is the weakest team in the bunch.

Regardless of who wins in the wildcard round, any four of those teams are going to have a tough time beating Dallas or Green Bay. I think we'll end up seeing the NFC championship game that almost everyone is expecting - Green Bay @ Dallas.
