I think I got those numbers and seeding correct. It will come to down to high octane offenses once again. I see the Cardinals running a strong aerial attack and a reliable secondary to the Super Bowl. The Patriots will start off slow without Tom Brady but once they get Brady back, they will be so strong and finish the season as the most dangerous team. They will ride that into the Super Bowl against an equally impressive Cardinals team. It will be a great offensive game.
