  6. New York Giants

Explanation: I am a firm believer in defenses. With how stout the Vikings defense is, plus their schedule, I can see the Vikings shocking the world and becoming the place that the NFC playoffs must travel to get to the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks find their groove and secure the second seed easily. I really like what the Eagles are doing so far and as long as Carson Wentz can limit the turnovers, the Eagles can win the division.

My biggest surprise in these predictions is the Falcons knocking off the Panthers for the AFC South title.

With how the Panthers have performed and the big time offense of the Falcons, the team will knock the Panthers out of the division race with a win in Week 16.

The Packers are just too good with Aaron Rodgers to be out of the playoffs and will make the NFC Wild Card as the fifth seed.

The last one I believe will come down to the Giants, Rams, and Cardinals. The Giants will win the season finale and while the Rams will beat the Cardinals, an earlier matchup between the Giants and Rams will end Los Angeles’ season.
