Usually at this point in the regular season, most of us can figure out who will be in the NFL playoff picture; at least for the most part. However, with just three weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff picture (excluding the current division winners) is as muddy as ever.

Starting with the AFC, the East is at a deadlock with Miami, New England and the New York Jets all tied for first place. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are only separated by a game in the North, who play each other this week. Tennessee has clinched the South, but those sneaky Colts seem very intriguing. (Shh! Don't tell anybody but they've won 6 straight). And lets not even talk about the dismal West.

Now you can say all you want about New England and New York in the East, but you can't say enough about the Miami Dolphins. No team has done what they have done thus far, turning a former 1-15 team into a legitimate playoff contender. And most give the credit to Bill Parcells, who is well deserving, and has made many great moves in the Dolphins' front office, but I'm giving it to Tony Sparano. His system not only wins them games, but maximizes the player's use of talent on the field. Even Ricky Williams is quietly having a good year, and Chad Pennington has shocked us all. Sparano will be up there for coach of the year, and he is without question coach of the year in my book.

Most likely the Jets and Dolphins will win out until the last game of the season with both having weak schedules, (unless the 49ers keep rolling and drop the Dolphins this week, but I don't see that happening) so it will come down to the Dolphins/Jets matchup on week 17 at Giants Stadium. Now we all know it will be cold, very cold, and we all know what succeeds in cold weather. The running game. pantalones futbol , Look to see Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams run wild while Favre throws a couple picks too many. The Jets' offense is too inconsistent, and expect to see Sparano pull a few tricks out of his sleeve to amazingly get the Dolphins to the playoffs. Now I bet you weren't saying this before the season- "Well I know the Dolphins went 1-15 last year, but they have some pieces there. I think they'll finish with a better record than the Patriots and win the division. " I would have hysterically laughed in your face.

The hard-nosed AFC North can't get any better, with two of the highest ranked defensive teams facing off this week. The winner of this game will take full control of the division lead, and it's going to take all phases of the game. Every phase of this game is about even; yeah the Steelers have the number one defense, but the Ravens are impossible to score on at home. It's going to be great to see Reed and Polamalu make big plays on their respective defenses. But in the end, this is going to come the quarterback play of Flacco and Roethlisberger, now let me figure this one out. replicas camisetas de futbol , . . A solid rookie quarterback with no experience in pressure games, or a stellar Superbowl winning QB who has the middle name of pressure and big games? Tough one, but I would have to pick Roethlisberger and the Steelers to win this game and the AFC North. I'm not going to make any bold predictions, but look for Big Ben to pave another road toward the Big Game.

The AFC South is a little more clear, with Tennessee already clinching the division title, Indianapolis on the rise, and no other competition within the division whatsoever. Look for the Titans to keep rolling throughout the season's entirety; Jeff Fisher won't bench anybody in the last few games. And the Colts will quietly take that top Wild Card spot in the AFC. (But don't say it too loud, nobody will even notice if they make a deep playoff run). pantalon futbol baratos ,

Now I said I wouldn't talk about the West, but I at least have to say something. First of all, this division is absolutely pathetic. The schizophrenic Broncos don't even know who they are, the Chargers are the most disappointing team in the league and possibly in NFL history, the Raiders haven't changed much and just might ruin JaMarcus Russell's career if they do something soon, and the Kansas City Chiefs can hardly compete with anybody. Now I said I would say something, but I didn't say it would be anything good. Denver will easily win the division, but only because the rest of the division can't function properly. .
