NFL Postseason Preview
By
Since this is my last article of the season before the NFL enters the playoffs, I have decided to skip the fantasy beat this week and make my predictions concerning the current playoff contenders. Perhaps the most obvious contender is the team that has already managed to make the playoffs with five weeks remaining in the season.
