Which of these teams will ...

Ok, you've all heard it.... teams with 0-3 records usually struggle to make the playoffs. But for this question ive decided to go the other way...

which of these 3-0 teams (if any) will bomb and not make the playoffs?

Seattle - Will make the playoffs....... in a dodgy division, should have the title wrapped up by week 8 :p

Indy - Will make the playoffs...... with Peyton, should make it... but the Jags will keep things interesting

Cincy.... mmmmmm..... Playing well, beat Pittsburgh last week, but in a really tough division

Baltimore...... will make things very interesting in the AFC North... I think they will beat out Cincy for the div title

Chicago - Should have no problems, the div sucks

San Diego (2-0) Could have problems with the resurgent Broncos (2-1), but the Broncos werent included because they have lost a game

New Orleans - could go either way... the weight of the city behind them could propell them to great things, but could equally become their undoing... Carolina will eventually start winning games. Vick is Junk, and the Bucs with a rookie quarterback will struggle this year.... I think they will be in the playoffs


San Diego and Cincy look the most likely, you have to figure the steelers are going to come back into the picture soon

edit: my wild card picks: AFC Jags/Steelers NFC Saints/Eagles

I think San Diego may go close to getting home field advantage.

They have an easier schedule than other teams considering their standings last year.

They have one of the best running games, with arguably the best runner in the league and beyond that Rivers has not looked like a QB starting his career, he looks like a seasoned veteran.

As long as they take care of their business in Denver, they are looking very good. I do not rate Denver's offence yet, but things seem to get better on the offensive side of the ball as the season goes on.

San Diego need to trust in Rivers more, he doesn't throw the ball enough which makes the offense a little predictable.

Now let's look at the teams on the bottom: I think the Raiders are the worst football team I have seen in a long time.

new orleans won't make it, who have they played green bay, cleveland are weak teams, they also played atlanta who are a decent team but that was their home coming so was up for that

i think the saints look least likely to make it but if their d keeps making plays they have just as good a shot as any other team. with brees as qb they won't have to worry about their qb making bonehead decisions every game so that also puts them in a good position.

however, with the panthers and falcons in their division it will be tough. not to forget the bucs either, sooner or later that d will start making plays.
