I believe they will end up with the No. 2 seed. They control their own destiny, and with the division title at stake, they will come out firing on Sunday.
Remember, last year the Birds snuck into the sixth spot with a 44-6 thrashing of Dallas.
Will it happen again?
If it does, the Birds will have a week off.

Is Mississippi Running Back Dexter McCluster the Next Chris Johnson?
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Daniel Wolf in NFL
Mississippi's running back sensation Dexter McCluster dominated Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl on Sunday rushing for 182 yards and two touchdowns and he was named the Offensive Player of the Game.
Breaking onto the scene just after the midway point of the college football season on October 24 against Arkansas when he ran for over 120 yards and had one receiving touchdown, McCluster became a force in college football.
Following his ...
New York Rangers’ Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan Make Team USA…That’s Swell
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Frank Castaldi in NHL
Shortly after the Winter Classic '10, Team USA announced their 23-man roster for the 2010 Vancouver Games.
Ranger fans were happy to notice that two more of their Blueshirts made the squad.
Captain Chris Drury and assistant captain Ryan Callahan were both announced by GM Brian Burke as participants for Team USA.
That's really swell and all, but honestly, as a Ranger fan...I could care less.
Don't get me wrong, being named to any ...
Buffalo Bills: New Decade Starts With Lots Of Excitement
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
When the Buffalo Bills hired Buddy Nix as their General Manager, the press conference that followed Nix's introduction included sessions with Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas. That Nix had sought out Kelly and Thomas for their opinion is a sign that this new regime seeks to take advantage of all the assets the Bills have at their disposal.
On Monday, Nix will begin interviewing candidates in earnest, starting with Perry Fewell. ...
I went a solid 11-5 on picks last week, giving me exactly two-thirds of the game this season correct. This week looks to be much harder, however, as some teams will be resting starters and not all the best teams are going to win. Last week's record: 11-5 Season record: 160-80 (66.7 percent) Bills over ColtsùI think the only thing that would upset Colts fans more ...
Who will be The Team of the Teens? By that, I do not mean the team of kids between 12 and 19. I mean the team that will outshine all others in the 2010ù2019 decade. The team that will record multiple Super Bowl victories. The team everyone else will hate and emulate at the same time. The team that will define the decade.
In every decade, the NFL has unofficially declared ...
Two weeks ago the Bulls were 10-17, and had come off of blowing a 35 point lead against the Kings, then losing in New York against the Knicks in which Vinny Del Negro ran just three plays the whole game. If his seat wasn't hot already, right now it's burning. How does a coach possibly keep his job after blowing a 35 point lead at home? Don't ask me, ask ...
Joseph Abstein was a Boston fan until his team moved to Milwaukee in 1953. Joe still roots for the Braves.
He fondly recalls the 1957 World Series in which the Braves beat the Yankees, but once in while, he still has nightmares about the 1958 World Series.
The Yankees Were "Just Another Team" Until the 1957 World Series I was a Boston Braves fan who was extremely ...
Okay sports fans, I know I'm going to take a beating on this one.
I've been watching NFL football for the last 42 years and I have to get this out of my system.
Back in the day, receivers depended on speed, agility, and route running ability to get open and catch passes and defensive backs were allowed to try to keep up with them, gee what a concept.
Now, with the NFL ...

Well, I imagine the Montreal Canadiens goaltending tandem of Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak are going a little mad with how starts are being doled out by ...
