This is it. The final game of the NFL season and your last chance to set a lineup until we start the whole thing over again next season. Good luck to those still competing and enjoy the game.

Quarterbacks

By the numbers, this is a great passing matchup for each of these quarterbacks. It's within both of their abilities to excel and it's all going to come down to how the game plays out. In the end, I have to give the edge to Brady based on his track record. Having said that, I won't be the least bit surprised if Manning puts up better numbers at the end of the day.

1. Tom Brady
2. Eli Manning


Running Backs

1. Ahmad Bradshaw - Easily the head of this class
2. BenJarvus Green-Ellis - Has the most upside as a goal line back
3. Brandon Jacobs - Could also sneak one across
4. Stevan Ridley
5. Danny Woodhead


Wide Receivers

1. Hakeem Nicks - He's been a beast, no one can touch him right now
2. Wes Welker - Already a nice weapon, gets extra looks with Gronk hampered
3. Victor Cruz - Always offers up the big play potential
4. Mario Manningham - Low yardage, but has scored in all three postseason contests
5. Deion Branch


Tight Ends

1. Aaron Hernandez - Gets top billing with Gronk's status uncertain
2. Rob Gronkowski - Even if he's limited, he belongs in this slot
3. Jake Ballard - Knee injury could continue to nag him
4. Travis Beckum - Moves up a slot if Ballard's knee can't hold out


Kickers

1. Stephen Gostkowski
2. Lawrence Tynes

Defenses/Special Teams

1. NYG Defense
2. NE Defense
