I've got the Falcons, Colts, Ravens and Eagles.

The only questionable call, IMO, is Atlanta - but AZ is sliding backwards into the playoffs and they're just not good enough yet to suddenly turn it back on again.

I agree SD is hot, with 4 in a row... but Colts are even hotter with 9 in a row!

I picked Atlanta, Indy, Baltimore and Philly. Not because I like them but they are the favorites I'm sure. That's how I'd bet.

Same here. You may see the first (that I know of) wild card sweep.

Don't waste your time picking the Eagles, they'll find a way to screw it up :yes:

I would think the Colts are the only sure thing, but they may self destruct on defense, I would be hesititant to put any money on any of those teams. I just don't see AZ going anywhere. Fins, maybe they can pick up another win, maybe. Ravens, isn't that Ray Lewis? I could never be for his team, just because of his legal history. I have been happy to see Atl do good and Ryan to turn out to be a good QB. After they years of having the convicted coach killer at QB, it is good to see those fans have an improvement all around this year. Philly can be good at times. Minn? Why we even talking about them? What do I know!

Probably should waiste your time picking the Vikings either. We have a real knack for screwing up things too.

Atl.'s defense jumps all over the cards O.
Minny beats philly with a strong running performance by petersen.
Indy overcomes its san diego jinx and
the dolphins are my sentimental favorites because of their record last year and the way Pennington was treated this summer.

Minn really have much of a chance against Philly? Haven't seen Minn play.

Arizona really have anything?

I know it's the same rules for everybody, but it is a shame to see the Pats out when they have won so many more games then some of these teams. The NFL might try to change rules to get teams in this situation in the playoffs. I'm sure the TV numbers are higher with teams like the Pats in.

To answer your ???'s , bottom line.... Philly should be able to put Minn away easily ...... but..... any given Sunday
Az has some very talented players on both sides of the ball.... but have been playing very poor as of late, my feelings are they need to get off to a fast start to boost their confidence, if they do.... they can give any team in the NFC a run for their money.
I agree on the Pats belonging, and yes America wants to watch them:yes:.... some Cowboys fans will be quick to say the same..... don't believe them!!:noway: :D
Ironically..... it was a Favre vs Pennington (JetsvsPackers)season Finale that kept them out of the playoffs the last time they didn't get in, 2002 season I believe.
Funny , the role players were all pretty much the same, the Pats needed to beat the Dolphins....and did...they also needed GB and Favre to beat the Jets and Pennington....but they didn't, I believe the Dolphins won the division that year as well....but off of a loss.
I don't want any rule changes, the fact is, the Pats 11-5 record wasn't good enough to get them in with their tiebreakers for the division, that's why there's an emphasis on winning the division. I like the format the way it is and don't want to see it watered down any more than it is.
At 8-8 Sandiego did what they had to do to win their division and I can accept that........We'll be back next year.:thumbsup:

I think it will be:
Atlanta
Indy
Miami
Philly....If the real McNabb shows up. If it's his alter ego, Smiley McStinky, throw it every where but to the reciever, we're toast.

Smiley McStinky....l:) kinda fits, he doesn't seem to care when he plays like that and has that grin on his face :(.... I'm hoping they get to the Meadowlands next week and play like they did the last time they were there. ;) :beers:

They should win that one as long as they don't abandon the running game. Westbrook and Buckhalter can run against the Minn D. Minn receivers will not get any separation against the Eagles secondary so they can relax the coverage and keep the D-line loaded up against the run.

I'm just happy we got good games to watch. I hate to watch one team really stink it up and the game not even be close. I thought all the teams played decent. If any team had a let down, I'd say it was the Colts. They are going to have to be able to run the ball some. Although Ryan may have been trying to force things a little and wasn't as sharp as he has been.

Well I picked 3 out of four right! I thought Indy would win but so be it!:)
The Eagles did try and give it away but the Minn. Q back fell off on his performance at the end and the D followed.
Is it me or did the Refs have it in for the Eagles???:sad:

No supprise to us here in Minnesota. I wasnt expecting to win but its nice to get into the playoffs. Better then loosing another super bowl.
