In the NFC, are the Vikes now the biggest threat to the Lions for the number one seed? The battle for the NFC West and NFC South hots up as the Falcons start the Penix era, whilst the Rams solidify their tag as the team everyone wants to avoid in the playoffs. Speaking of Atlanta, there's lots of chat on the QB situation rolling forwards - namely which players will be on the market in the off-season (clue: not many!) meaning Kirk Cousins could land yet another payday. Will the Niners pay Brock? Will the Vikes stick with Darnold? What about the Jets & Rodgers? The Bengals keep Nat's 175-1 Cincy to win the SB dream alive, and they're in a shootout with Denver for the wildcard. All this & much more from the Hickorys Mailbag!
