People are writing off both NO and indy as they had poor starts to the season, but both have been looking very good as of late.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we have a repeat of last year.
It is easy to write teams off based on past performance and stats, but odd things do happen. Just look at Seattle, who would have thought a 7-9 team would ever make the playoffs. All it takes is one key turnover, one bad penalty, one shanked field goal attempt, and even the worst teams can win a game.
