It's got to be Packers, Chargers and Cowboys for me. I really want to just say it is the Packers over the Cowboys but something about how well the Cowboys have been playing the last month really is making me think they might be an honest threat. The Chargers look dangerous but it will be interesting to see if they can finally go all the way, seeing as they always looks this good and then they just play flat.
Ever since Green Bay's offensive line decided to start playing the Packers have really been a complete team, and if you look at Ryan Grant's stats he has 1253 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only one fumble compared to Peterson's 1383 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven fumbles. Chris Johnson is of course the league leader but seeing as he isn't in the playoffs...
The only other running back that compares to them this year is Thomas Jones. And if you look at the Cowboys Romo has been playing out of his mind. Like I knew he was doing good, but look at these numbers for his last four weeks. He has 1158 yards with six touchdowns to only TWO interceptions. They also almost beat the Chargers and only lost by a field goal. They shut out Philly (regardless if you think the Eagles went easy they still got shut out) and of course they beat the undefeated Saints.
No matter how much I hate it, the Chargers are the hottest team going into the playoffs. They have an 11 game winning streak and the first bye week will help them heal everyone up. After the Broncos lost they haven't let a team score more than 24 points against them. What's even better is out of there last 11 games, only 5 (Eagles, Giants, Browns, Bengals, and Redskins) of them have their opponents scoring 20 points or more. Browns (and of course Redskins but that was their last game of the season) are the only team I don't like getting 23 points, but other than that the other teams have good offenses.
Your thoughts?
