I'll throw out

Minn -16 1/2
Buff -4 1/2

As picks this week. Injuries are finally making Chicago as bad a team as I thought they'd be to start the season so Minny should roll, and Buffalo will come out fired up...poor Cincy.

As for the NFC playoffs <g> as long as Denny Green is at the helm, Minny could go 16-0 in the regular season and I'd still pick 'em to lose in the playoffs...Atlanta has won, but won ugly. That strategy won't hold up in the playoffs when elite teams and players step it up. If Dallas is healthy, they are a true threat (Aikman has a post season QB rating about 20 points higher than regular season, I believe). San Fran and GB will DEFINITELY step it up in the playoffs, too. The sixth team (probably Az) will wave a quick bye bye in the first round.

NFC Playoff predictions...
Round One
Dallas over AZ
San Fran over GB

Round Two (nobody will agree with me here)
Dallas over Minny
San Fran over Atlanta

Round Three
San Fran over Dallas

Super Bowl...
Denver over San Fran (AFC playoffs don't count...Denver is going)
