What can we garner from this? Rams, Eagles, Cowboys, Panthers are all mediocre. The real challenge is the schedule each team faces to close out the season, and by far the easiest schedule the rest of the way is our own. The Vikings seem to have the 2nd easiest schedule remaining, while the Niners, Seahawks, and Packers have to play each other, and beat each other up. Throw in a Road Loss for the Niners @ Nawlins, and it should seem clear that the NFC Championship should go through Nawlins.
