Very intriguing matchups afoot. I am looking for NJ to get in instead of Cleveland though, but other than that, this is probable setup.

The best case is for SA, IMO, if for Sacto to lose last 2 and Denver to win last 2, putting Sacto in the 7 spot and Denver in the 6th spot.

My favorite matchups to watch (beside SA) is that Chicago-Washington series. They both are playing well now, and either one could beat Miami in rd 2 with some luck.

I also love the Houston-Dallas matchup. Houston has killed Dallas the last 2 games they have met and they will give Dallas fits, so Dallas will have to play its' best to win that series. Both teams could beat Phoenix in rd 2 as both have had success with them.
