If there was a playoff of the 8 best teams in the NFL (no divisions just on record) would the finalists be Colts Pats

2 best offenses
2 top 5 defenses

Lets draw this up bracket styles:

1. Patriots
8. Steelers

4. Packers
5. Giants

3. Cowboys
6. Lions

2. Colts
7. Jaguars

All of these games can be regarded as "trap" games for all the teams. Jags could beat the Colts, Steelers could beat the Pats, Lions could beat the Boys, Giants could beat the Pack, and vice versa.

So basically, putting this into a playoff format would make it HARDER for the Pats and the Colts to make it to the finals.

If the Pats beat the Steelers, they would still have to play the Giants or the Packers. The Colts would have to go through either the Cowboys or Lions. So either way, each team gets at tough draw. I wouldn't see the Patriots and Colts making it to the finals through this playoff format.

ok but it isnt the end of the season and how abou tyou take a look at the Scheudles
O and by the way touchdown Randy Moss thas what the whole game is going to be like for the Steelers
there goes Wayne down the sidelin thats how the game against the Jags Went

Well you never specifed whether it was right now or not, so I just went with what was readily available to me.

The Steelers have a good enough D that could potentially stop the Patriots.

The Jaguars could also potentially beat the Colts again.

There's not much more to say. By waiting till the end of the season, more teams that are better (aka, the Chargers) could be in the playoffs that could beat the Pats or Colts.

Not as easy as it seems.
