Sorry for the delay, I have been really busy but here is my take on the NFL with 4 games left including my predictions for the regular season standings, postseason awards, and playoff predictions. (Editors note these standings are accurate for only teams 2 games out of their division and wild card races, the standings are tiebreaker accurate)

Standings

NFC EAST
1. Philly 11-5 (#3)
2. Giants 10-6
3. Cowboys
4. Redskins

NFC NORTH
1. Packers 11-5 (#2)
2. Chicago 11-5 (WC # 6- lose divisional record tie breaker)
3. Vikings

2. Saints 11-5 (#WC #5)
3. Bucs 10-6

2. St Louis 8-8
3. San Fran
4. Arizona

AFC EAST
1. Pats 13-3 (#1)
2. Jets 11-5
3. Dolphins
4. Bills

AFC NORTH
1. Pittsburgh 12-4 (#2-Win strength of victory tiebreaker, which they currently have so I gave it to them)
2. Ravens 12-4
3. Browns
4. Bengals

AFC SOUTH:
1. Jags 10-6
2. Colts 9-7
3. Texans
4. Titans

AFC WEST
1. KC 11-5
2. SD 9-7
3. Oak 8-8

For you Ravens fans out there here is how the Ravens Win the division: Win 2 more games then Pittsburgh over the next 4 (Ravens- @Hou, Vs. NO, @CLE, Vs. Cin, Pit-vs. Cin, vs. Jets, Vs. Car, @ CLE) OR

win out and Have Pittsburgh lose to the Browns and have Houston finished ahead of Tennessee and have Denver finish within 4 Games of Oakland (Source: ESPN's playoff machine)
