My ranking of the teams in the NFL playoffs

no love for an Indy team that has won 9 in a row huh. Indy beat 5 playoff teams this year plus a 11-5 New England team.

Or Carolina who has won 8 of 10.

Indy is a very good team but not upper echelon IMO. The teams that win in the playoffs have a good defense and run game, something the Colts do not possess this year. Indy won it that one year but got very lucky with their matchups IMO.

seems like Pit is very marginal away from home, there defense numbers good because of pathetic competion.

If/when they go down, it is because of the OL. To have the season they had with that OL is amazing. Shows how dominating their defense is.

Just don't see a dome team winning three games outside without a great running game or a dominating defense.

No love for the Panthers? Think they have a real chance.

I think it is wide open really. The teams in the AFC escpecially. I bet every team is glad the Colts and Chargers are playing each other. Nobody would want the chance of playing both of those teams back to back.

I would rather play either of them than the Ravens. That's the team with a chip on their shoulder.

They have a good D but I'm not convinced it's elite like some other teams' (Philly, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Tennessee). Offensively they do a good job but also have played some easier defensive teams IMO.

This is my list...

1. Baltimore Ravens
2. Tennessee Titans
3. Philadelphia Eagles
4. San Diego Chargers
5. Pittsburgh Steelers
6. New York Giants
7. Atlanta Falcons
8. Carolina Panthers
9. Indianapolis Colts
10. Minnesota Vikings
11. Miami Dolphins
12. Arizona Cardinals

Baltimore is a scary team. I put Philly and SD high on the list because of their recent play, which I really think is important coming into playoffs (remember that Westbrook was not a big factor during the 1st half).

Since SD have to play Indy, that's why I had to pull Indy down on the list just like many have mentioned about their defense. I see ATL beating Arizona on the road by 7-10 pts, and then it means they play Carolina. No easy task as it may be a CAR last-second win but I'm impressed with the Matt Ryan & Michael Turner duo.

I see Tenn and NYG both losing before Super Bowl, even after good seasons by them. Just a wild, gut feeling.

I like Baltimore but Flacco has racked up stats against poor defenses and done nothing other than make mistakes against the good ones. I just don't see them moving the ball against an elite defense and I feel that will be their downfall.

PS I think the Giants are very overrated as well.
