THE QUESTION
Second half chokers
Halfway through the 2009 season, which current division leader, if any, won't make the playoffs?

FROM THE PANEL
Playoff Picks
With Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their division, the Bengals' luck is the most likely of the current division leaders to run out.

10,001 simulations and guess who's out
The Cardinals are the current division leader least likely to make the playoffs.

The bad luck Bengals
If franchises are somewhat branded by an identity, then the Bengals' is of a team perennially beset by misfortune and miscalculation.

Don't count on Cards
The only team currently leading their division played in last season's Super Bowl and, coincidentally, is the only team that won't play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Vikings Beware
Anything is possible in the NFL, just ask the Brett Favre and the 2008 New York Jets.

Bengals Are Most Vulnerable
Playoffs may be more than the Bengals are capable of.

No one safe but Saints, Colts, Vikes
The two divisional leaders I have the least faith in at this point are in the West -- NFC West's Arizona and AFC West's Denver.

Not buying the Bengals
The Bengals have disappointed so many times that you're just waiting for them to collapse.

Not in the Cards
The one division leader that I don't see making the playoffs is the 4-3 Arizona Cardinals.

Which leader isn't playoff bound?
Vote now on the current division leader that will be out of the picture come playoff time.
