Here at Prayers For Blowouts we love to let our members spout off their opinions on anything and everything.

Recently we asked them to tell us which of these 4 NFL teams currently outside of the playoff picture – Patriots, Dolphins, Bears, and Falcons – would sneak in.

——————————————————————

Patriots, because they’re my favorite team and because they’ll win out and Miami will lose to the Jets in week 17.

——————————————————————

Patriots, because I’m friends with Sammy Morris.

The Falcons will most likely sneak in as an NFC wildcard because their competitors (Bears, Cowboys, & Redskins) can’t perform consistently against the big teams. Matt Ryan & Michael Turner have surprisingly turned into a powerful combination.

——————————————————————

I pick the Dolphins, but only because I think it would be cool to see them make it instead of the Patriots. It would be an extreme case of “what a difference a year makes” – the Dolphins from 1-15 to playoffs; the Patriots 16-0 to running up the score against the Dolphins…on Madden 2007.

——————————————————————

Probably the Patriots…b/c Belicik has a way of working some magic that crushes everyone else in the nation.  A lot of people in the South think he just might be a direct spawn of satan.

——————————————————————

But the Dolphins would be the most interesting to see slide into the play-offs

——————————————————————

Logic calls for the Pats, but everyone I know is SO tired of their victories that we actually enjoy seeing them not make it.  That said, even without their fearless leader (and, in my opinion, the scariest guy in the league), they’ve still managed to squeeze out more wins
than some of my preferred teams.  In the end, I’m rooting for the Falcons.  They deserve it.

——————————————————————

Most likely the Patriots because of a guy named Bill. If not them, the Fins will probably make it because of a guy named Bill.

The Falcons

——————————————————————

Da Bears!  Honestly I think they have the easiest road in.  The 3 games they have left are all against non play off teams while the Vikings, who they trail by one game, all have very difficult teams left to play.  I think the NFC North is there for the Bears taking.

——————————————————————

The Dolphins have the best shot at winning their division.  If both they and the Patriots win out, the Dolphins would actually have a better conference record, which would give them the division in a tiebreaker.  There is no shot of them getting in as a Wild Card, but they can steal their division simply by winning out.  They are the most in control of what happens to them.

I think I picked the Saints and Chargers to play in the Super Bowl this season, so does it really matter who I pick here?  I’ll go with the Patriots, only because I don’t want them to make it, and I seem to be the curse of death.

I think the Falcons have the best chance of sneaking in, because Matt Ryan is for real and they are emotionally driven to avenge the Vick era.
