Mid-season Division/Conference/Playoff picks

Well, I talked about this on the show with Dylan yesterday, but I wanted to go ahead and post this to make it official and also expand my AFC picks:
NFC North: Bears - (Top seed, bye, home throughout) They looks so ridiculously good right now. The only reason this is not locked up yet is because there's this guy named "Aaron Rodgers" on this little known team called the "Packers."
NFC South: ugh.... Falcons - (3rd seed) They aren't as good as their record, but they have a HUGE lead in the division. This isn't locked up due to 4 more division games, but today's game could either lock it up or break it open.
NFC West: 49ers - (2nd seed, bye) Record-wise, they aren't THAT ahead, but there is no way the Seahawks overtake the 49ers.
NFC East: Giants - (4th seed) Look, this is not locked up. The Cowboys have November, and the Giants look like they could collapse at any given moment. While they do have 2.5 and 3 games up on the rest of the division, they also are 2-2 in the division with 2 to go. If they lose those 2 games, that lead is gone.
Wild Cards: Packers - (5th seed) They would probably win any other division. Saints - (6th seed) We in New Orleans still believe. They are a dark horse candidate, but they are rising.
NFC Playoff path:
Saints @ Falcons - Another early exit for the Falcons, and another reason why 8-0 means nothing.
Packers @ Giants - The Packers will FINALLY put a dent in Eli's playoff armor.
Saints @ Bears - Unfortunately, this will end the Saints' Cinderella season.
Packers @ 49ers - The 49ers will overcome the hot, hot Packers to go back to the NFC Championship
49ers @ Bears - The Bears will return to the Super Bowl after a hard fought battle in Chicago.
AFC North: Ravens - (3rd seed) They have overcome some injuries to stay alive. I think they will continue to build on their resiliency.
AFC South: Texans - (Top seed, bye, home throughout) The Texans look so, so good.
AFC West: Broncos - (2nd seed, bye) Peyton Manning has been so good this year. I totally called this.
AFC East: Patriots - (4th seed) Look, I know they only have a 1 game lead, but I think they'll pull themselves together for the division.
Wild Cards: Colts - (5th seed) And Peyton Manning brings..... wait what? You mean the year after those morons let the best QB of all time go, they go to the playoffs? That is so ridiclously dumb. Where's the karma? Where's the justice? Steelers - (6th seed) Somehow, regardless of how bad they look, they end up in the playoffs. I hate the Steelers.
AFC Playoff path:
Steelers @ Ravens - The Ravens will overcome those losers from Pittsburgh.
Colts @ Patriots - In a surprise upset, the Colts will win.
Ravens @ Texans - 4 words: DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!!!!
Colts @ Broncos - OH!!!! HERE is the justice, when Peyton Manning tears up his old team and makes Luck look like a punk.
Broncos @ Texans - In a ridiculously awesome matchup, the Texans squeak out a victory to go to their first Super Bowl.
Super Bowl:
Texans @ Bears (in New Orleans) - In teams that are so evenly matched up that it's impossible to call with definitiveness, I'm going to have to take the Texans to take a Super Bowl win. It's not my awesome Texas matchup I would love to see, but it's as close as I can get to a Cowboys Super Bowl win.
