I think that that Packers may be able to sneak their way into the Super Bowl, if they can get their defense to get the job done. I'm not sure how well the Eagles are going to deal with the loss of Terrel Owens, and with the various other injuries that they have had. I'm kind of whatever towards the NFC in general though. The only team worth a crap during the season was really the Eagles. I think that the real championship is going to be decided in the AFC title game, which I think will be the Patriots and the Steelers. Indy will get past Denver pretty easily but I'm not sure that they will get past the Patriots. New England is banged up though so I may be wrong. The Colt's defense though really sucks, so if Tom Brady can lay it on like he tends to do during the playoffs then Indy is in trouble. As for the Patriots Steelers game. Well I'm just not really sure how to call that one. I'm definitely a Steelers fan, so I wnat to lean towards them. The Steelers b-team really kicked butt in Buffalo, so the first stringers are rested, so I think that gives them a slight edge.

Impressive, but the Packers probably won't get past the
first round this year.

[JetDoc]

Gotta stick with the hometown team...

GO SEAHAWKS!

[SuperMoto7]

Go Bucs!

Wait, they were 5-11 this year. Nevermind. :doh

[ScottM]

Like JetDoc, I am rooting for Seattle. Of course, I am a realist and know they will probably fold in the first game. (Old habits are hard to break) Other than that I will be for the Steelers all the way.

[Hodag]

just scored a ticket to see the pack on Sunday, I was kinda worried I wouldn't make it to a game this year.

Depending on the weather, I think the Vikes will beat the Pack on Sunday (sorry, Mark), but in the end, I think the potential is there for an all-Pennsylvania Superbowl.

Philly had their problems at the end of the year with injuries, for sure, so it will be interesting to see if they can hold it together for the playoffs. If not Philly, well then maybe it could be ...I dunno, I don't think either the Vikes or Packers lack of defense will get them very far.

You can't rule out the Colts in the AFC, either. OK, final prediction.

Superbowl.

Eagles 31 Colts 20

[gambrinus]

Colts over Denver this weekend... That's the only game I'll watch

Next weekend, the Steelers will beat whomever is unfortuate enough to wander their sorry assess into Heinz Field.

IF IF IF the Steelers / Colts game were to be in Indy, I'd say Indy had a chance. They don't seem to be so great outdoors in the cold. Just a thought.

[Gizmo]

In answer to your question, I say go Colts. Unfortunately reality is such that
I think there defense will not allow them to go past the second round. I hope
this is not the case but....

[BradfordBenn]

I think the beer companies and broadcast companies are going to win hands down, :brad

Go Colts!

[Hodag]
