And, here we are, closing the books on another NFL season! This one has a much more satisfying outcome than last season, when the NY Jets was making everyone here gnash their teeth. Although I would argue that this season repairs last season a bit, as both the NY Jets and Brett Favre ended up being a wee bit better than people thought they were at the end of last season.

New Orleans defeats Indianapolis, and sits atop by the rankings by a healthy margin. They have beatpaths to every team in the league except for San Diego, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and (oddly) the NY Giants. Loops after the jump!
