NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

[Dimwhit]

Call me crazy, but I kind of like the Chargers in the AFC. Not saying they'll make the Superbowl, but they're a good darkhorse pick to get there.

The NFC is wide open. Atlanta could surprise everyone and got to the Superbowl, similar to what they did in '98. Philly is hurting without T.O., you never know which Green Bay team is going to show up (same goes for Minnesota), and Seattle and St. Louis are both very suspect. Not that Atlanta isn't up and down as well. Should be interesting.

Chargers is not a crazy pick. I think they would have the toughest time against the Colts, and they can only meet them in the AFC championship game and it would be in Indy.

NFC I'm still leaning toward Green Bay. Phili can't win without TO. The Falcons are a good team, but Favre magic trumps them this year.

I thought the Chargers were playing the Colts this weekend? Maybe I'm wrong.

I thought the Chargers were playing the Colts this weekend? Maybe I'm wrong.

The Chargers and Colts won their divisions; they play the wild-card teams (the Jets and Broncos, respectively) this week.

If I were to guess

This week -
Chargers over Jets
Colts over Broncos

Packers over Vikings
Seahawks over Rams

Next week

Steelers over Chargers
Colts over Patriots

Eagles over Seahawks
Packers over Falcons

Championship games

Colts over Steelers
Packers over Eagles

Super Bowl

Colts over Packers

Ah yes, another award winning year for my Vikes. I was openly routing for them to lose and not make the playoffs, but it seems that the other teams wouldn't comply. Oh well, there is always next year for us to screw up...

Anyway, onto Super Bowl predictions.

My heart says that it should be Green Bay and Pittsburgh, get our best of the 60's and best of the 70's, but I know that GB has terrible defense and Pittsburgh is just ripe for a letdown.

My brains says Atlanta and New England, which would be an exciting Super Bowl because of Vick but... it is the Patriots and the Falcons... *yawn*

Eh, either way, it will probably be an exciting playoffs...

Now, if there was only a way for my Vikes to lose points to get into the negavite value... Maybe a 31 to -17 score?

Yes, I love my Vikes, but I know we suck. Moss is starting to show flashes of his younger self by walking off of that feild with 2 seconds left. I know it wasn't going to do anything, but that was a clear statement for me. Maybe we can trade Moss to SF for that first pick... Hmmm....

Ouch, Ty Law out for the post season for the Pats. I know their patch work secondary has been doing well, but it is still not good news for them.

Go Colts!


(The two horsie teams are playing each other... )

I'm hoping Plummer has a great game, so it isn't a blow out. I want scoring and passes, passes, and more passes.

My thoughts exactly and as a Pats fan this is not good news. No Law and no Poole. If the Pats have to play the Colts next weekend it will very difficult for them.

One guy on ESPN had a funny comment on the Pats chances though - something to the effect that "someone will fall out of the sky" for the Pats and they will find a way to win.

If the Pats don't make it, I would be happy to see the Steelers take it all.
