Saw this on the NFC South blog on ESPN...
If we beat Philly and Atlanta beats Carolina on Sunday, that puts us and Atlanta in good shape at 2-0. That would also put Carolina at 0-2 and heading to Dallas followed by a visit from Washington.
I know it's very early to be drawing all these generalizations, but barring a lot of unforeseen events, it's going to come down to us and Atlanta for the division with the loser jockeying for a wildcard spot.
Since 1990, 64.6% of the teams that have started 2-0 have gone on to the playoffs. Only 13.8 percent of the teams that have started 0-2 have made the playoffs.
