Does anyone else find it crazy that with 5 games left, 5 NFC teams have over a 90% chance at the playoffs? The Saints and 49ers are sitting at over 99%, the Hawks are 3rd at 97%, the Vikings are an 94%, and the Packers at 91%. The only teams that sit between the Packers at 91% and the Rams at 15% (which, BTW, is pretty much ALL the WC slack) are the Cowboys at 65% and the Eagles at 37%, only because no one seems to want to win the NFC East.

I don't remember the last time there was so little margin for error for teams sitting outside the playoffs before December. It's nuts.

NFC is a pretty clear cut conference right now with the exception of the NFC (L)East. I don't see too many scenarios where the other 5 teams drop out and the ones I can see are so unlikely that I am pretty confident that we are pretty much just playing it out for seeding now.
