And now, for some Friday GOOD news...

Oh, yeah baby:

While the rest of the league has feasted on the inept, the NFL’s playoff picture has become more muddled than ever. Fourteen teams have records of 4-4 or 5-3, including the entire AFC East and the top three teams in the NFC North – two divisions expected to be in dead heats over the length of the second half.

With that in mind, and coming off a month of election projections, we’ve looked into the crystal ball and predicted how the playoff seedings will play out. It’s hardly scientific beyond the comparison of schedules and weighing of current injuries. But with eight weeks left in the NFL schedule, we’ve boiled down how the final records, division winners and playoff seeds are likely to shake out over the next two months.

Are you ready?

Starting with a surprise to many observers …

1. Miami Dolphins

Final regular-season record: 10-6, No. 3 seed in the AFC

Skinny: Miami climbs out of the basement with wins over Seattle and Oakland, then completes a stunning season sweep of New England at home. The four road games in the final five are daunting, but Miami manages three wins in the final five, and then Chad Pennington leads the Dolphins to a division title by beating Brett Favre and the Jets in the season finale.

Oh, sweet sweet seer and prognosticator of the football world. From your lips to the football god's ears.

Seems to be that this week all the good news we got were locally.

That last sentence in the prediction would almost make up for the elections.
