Yeah, it's the easy NFC pick. But they're also the best team. Sorry.
2 Patriots
Assuming Tom Brady's foot is OK. With the Patriots, we won't know until kickoff Sunday.
3 Colts
Peyton Manning should play. He won't be in midseason form, but does he really need to be?
4 Chargers
Like the Patriots, they have an easy schedule this season. Oh yeah, they also have LT.
5 Giants
Not sure if they're really in my top 5, but they, um, kinda won a pretty big game seven months ago.
