Overall Rankings are so tough in the playoffs because it all depends on who wins and loses. These rankings are pretty much based on the following scenario:
AFC Wild-card Round
Indianapolis vs. NY Jets – Indianapolis
Kansas City vs. Baltimore – Baltimore
NFC Wild-card Round
Philadelphia vs. Green Bay – Green Bay
Seattle vs. New Orleans – New Orleans
AFC Divisional Round
New England vs Baltimore – New England
Pittsburgh vs. Indianapolis – Pittsburgh
NFC Divisional Round
Atlanta vs. Green Bay – Green Bay
Chicago vs. New Orleans – New Orleans
Conference Championships
New England vs Pittsburgh – New England
Green Bay vs. New Orleans – Green Bay
Super Bowl XLIII
New England vs. Green Bay – New England
Now, I can tell you that this won’t happen. I wish I was clairvoyant, but I ain’t. These are my best guesses and are what I’m basing my rankings on. If you feel strongly that the Eagles will beat the Packers then these rankings just aren’t for you.
