00:00Here's the NFC as we head into the final two weeks of the season.

00:08Lions, Eagles, Vikings and Packers have clinched spots.

00:12That means there's three more up for grabs.

00:14The Rams and the Falcons have the pole position in the South and the West.

00:18Washington currently in that last wildcard spot.

00:22The Bucs and Seattle hanging by a thread.

00:25I was looking at all the clinching scenarios for this week.

00:28You could have the entire NFC field set.

00:31Not the order, but the field set by the end of this weekend.

00:35Yeah, I think the Falcons are going to lose to the Commanders

00:39and F this up nice and juicy.

00:42I still think the Buccaneers are alive.

00:44I didn't think they did themselves any favors Sunday night,

00:47losing to Dallas on a row.

00:49But, you know, like Marenzi said, it's a week-to-week league.

00:53One day, everybody's darling.

00:56The next week, everybody's devil.

00:58One week, you're good.

00:59The next week, you're bad.

01:01So the Buccaneers couldn't get it going.

01:03I thought, you know, you look at what Dallas did to them.

01:07They kind of took Evans out of the game.

01:09I mean, that was their goal, and they did it.

01:11And so I think everyone thinks that Atlanta's in this cushy position

01:14because they have the tiebreakers because they beat Tampa twice.

01:18They can't afford to lose.

01:19They got to win out.

01:21And I don't think they will.

01:22They do.

01:23I don't think they will either.

01:25Whether it's Washington this week or, as I said to you yesterday,

01:28I think Carolina will, you know,

01:30give one of these two teams in the next two weeks a hard time,

01:33whether that's Tampa this week or Atlanta next week.

01:35I think they're going to make it difficult on them.
