The thing is though you're not predicting. You're choosing the teams against the teams you hate.

If I were to "predict" without being any sort of bias, i'd choose:

Pats over Jags
Colts over Chargers

Pats over Colts

-------------------------------

Packers over Seahawks
Giants over My Boys

Packers over Giants

-------------------------------

Pats over Packers

Even though I'd love to see Favre win before he retires. That would be awesome but it's not happening.
 
If I were to pick based on what I honestly think will happen it would be pretty much the same (also assuming TO doesn't play or is limping around) except I think the Colts would beat the Giants in the Super Bowl. I really think the Pats are beatable and the Colts match up pretty good against them. Typically I'd say the home field and weather would be in NE's favor but this year they seem especially dependant on the pass (they seriously have NO running game at all) so they will be just as crippled.

As for the Giants, assuming they can get by the Cowboys, I think they will kill Green Bay in a rematch. They played them close until the 4th quarter earlier in the year but that was when the Giants looked like they were headed to a 4-12 season. I didn't think the Packers were that good then and I don't think they are that good now. They had a great season (in an iffy division) but at some point someone will expose them as a young, inexperienced team. I think they will beat the Seahawks because the Seahawks really suck but I expect them to get blown out in the NFC championship game no matter who their opponent is.

why do like giving me a hard time?? Did I say I was predicting??? All I said was this week is the hardest to predict.. you don't know if the teams with the byes will show up ready or flat...
 
Predictions are fun to match up against other predictions, it just makes the playoffs that more fun to watch :D

I'm still sticking to my calls, I'm really looking forward a Colts v. Packers Superbowl :D

Man, the AFC playoff teams are stronger than the NFC teams though :/

You got serious threats on the AFC in contrast to upstart teams on the NFC.

I like how L33t Sn4cks and I are so different. Soodmeg's and Pimpin's bullshit makes him want to slit his wrests and it makes me laugh and argue. I love it.

I can only speak for myself here but none of the scrappin' in this thread is meant as personal attacks. I mean to have the tone of some friends just chillin' talkin about their favorite teams and throwin insults around, just causual bullshittin' so if Sood or Pimpin are gettin pissy and takin things too seriously, that's your guys' problem.

Somebody asked a page or two back:
Q: "Who gives a shit about fan support?"
A: WE DO! By "WE DO!" I mean the city of Pittsburgh.

*****WARNING: Somewhat rantish essay on the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh ahead! *******

Allow me to explain: I'll start with my background. My dad is from Pgh so although born and raised in S. Fla, I have always been a Steeler fan. I now live in the city and have for 8 years. Today, Monday after a playoff loss is a sad, depressing day in the city. The morning radio guys were not joking around, it was a solemn, sad, dreary day (regardless of nice weather) where everybody is short tempered and pissed. There is a sense that we don't have much else going on in the city besides football. The Steel industry left and wrought economic hardship on the city, vestiges of which are still present today. The weather is not that great and downright shitty in alot of ppl's opinoins in the winter. Besides outstanding schools, hosptials and a sense of community we don't have much else besides football and other Pgh sports. Mondays after a win are great, everybody is walking around on cloud nine. Mondays after loss are like spending a day in a funeral parlor. Even the most conservative and uppity lawfirms in the city allow their attorneys to wear jerseys on days the steeler's have a game, This isn't just during the playoffs either.

There has not been, in the histoy of NFL broadcasts, a day where a Steelers game has been blacked out b/c the game was not sold out. Jax had three just this season. Imagine how it feels to play for a team like that or be a fan where you can't watch the game b/c the city doesnt give a shit. So Jax gets to go on and lose to the Pats but at the end of the day, Jax will very likely (
 
I will give it a go.

Cowboys over Giants
Seahawks over Packers

Cowboys over Seahawks

Jags over Patriots
Colts over Chargers

Jags over Colts

Cowboys over Jags

I really do think that the Jags emerge out of the AFC. Call me crazy, but they are a team built for the postseason and if they can control the clock and slow down the passing game of their opponents they will win.

(homer bias) As far as the Cowboys pick, I do think that they are going to win the NFC. People are all over the Giants, but they have lost 2 out of 3 just like the Cowboys. Glenn should be back to give the Cowboys another passing threat to complement TO, and they just have the pieces to get there. This team is another one built for the postseason and they are going to show up and kick some ass aganist the rest of the NFC and the AFC champion,

Edit: I forgot about the Buffalo game. The Giants are 2-2 in their last 4.

This is what pisses people off about the Steelers so much. THis is what people like Soodmeg and Pimpin hate but secretly envy. THis is why every person that resides in Pgh or the vicinity, but is a fan of another team thinks "All Steelers fans are assholes." The fandom in pittsburgh borders fanatacism. Last year Maddox played shitty for ONE game and people threw trash at his house and get this: CHILDREN of hardcore steelers fans harassed his children at school. Elementary school kids! We are never, ever satisfied even when we win. There is only one game out of every season that our team can expect our approval for and even that is only after a victory in the SUperbowl. It really does remind you of the Soccer fans in S. and C. America's where a goalie got sniped for screwin up. [/QUOTE]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Man I always get a good laugh at your posts. And you're right I secretly envy the Steelers. I mean the Cowboys don't have 5 Superbowl Victories :roll:

Also everything you posted just shows how crazy Pittsburgh Fans are. Just because Maddox played terrible they have to Physically/Mentally Harass his whole family? Wow where is the fan support? So I am right when I say Steeler Fans in Pittsburgh are assholes ;) Crazy Assholes that is. I also don't think I'm taking anything too serious. I'm laughing it up at all the posts you make. It's a shame. I might actually like the Steelers if it wasn't for fans like you :whistle2:k

BTW bro everything you type makes most of the people in Pittsburgh ( Whom like the Steelers ) look really really bad in context.

EDIT: Did a little Research to your claim. The Steelers have the same number of AFC Championships ( 5 ) as the Pats ;) Also Compared to Dallas, the Cowboys have double that number ;)
 
That's one of the very few things I hate about Atlanta - transients. I hated going to a Braves game in the playoffs and being outnumbered by Cubs fans. Most of the fans of Atlanta teams are scattered throughout the SE, and there's not a HUGE amount of support in the city (except morons who seem to think dogfighting is OK).

I'm looking forward to moving back, and one day being able to get tickets to the Thrashers and Braves on a regular basis. Hell, I might even attend a Falcons game (nearly went to the last one the Steelers were in town).

For a team that has "NO running game at all" they sure seem to be about in the middle of playoff teams in rushing stats. The Indy game will be a tough one for New England, assuming they can beat Jacksonville first. However to say Indy will win because the Pats are "beatable" and don't have a running game is pretty ridiculous. If they were that "beatable" they probably wouldn't have gone 16-0, and if their running game is so bad, how would you rate Indy's?

You're right about people in Pittsburgh being crazy about the steelers and as a member of that club we like that rep. It's cool being known as the most devoted fans, not a bad thing. If outsiders think of us as assholes, we like it. And no true Pittsburgher would ever think that being described as huge fans makes them "look really really bad." We love it when our fans outnumber the home team's at away games.

You're jealousy is transparent. I love it.

Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, HuskerFan31. Forfty percent of all people know that. You do realize the Patriots played the Bills, Jets and Dolphins twice, right? Maroney had like 2 or 3 decent games all year. Teams that play in actual divisions impress me much more when it comes to season stats. Look at the NFC East and AFC South where last place was 8-8. I'd take just about any of those teams running games over the Patriots. Also, they had such an amazing passing game that lots of opponents were sending 3-4 guys at Brady so the rest could drop back into coverage and they still couldn't rush for all that much.

I don't think the Colts will win just because the Pats are beatable and they don't have a running game - I'm saying it because the Colts played them very close earlier in the season, they are playoff tested (and league champs), they had the quietest 13-3 season (in one of if not the toughest division in the NFL) I can ever remember and they match up very well. I just think the Pats are going to lose and it wouldn't be all that different than when the underdog Pats were knocking off "better" teams a few years ago...

A big reason for that close game was the pressure they had on Brady, losing Dwight Freeney for the season seriously reduces that threat. The Pats started really throwing on the Colts with ease when Freeney was gassed and out of the game at the end.

Plus, the Colts won't be at home this time. They won't have their home crowd (machine) advantage, and the Pats coach to QB radio will probably work. Many of the advantages the Colts had that week are gone.

yeah, Freeney's loss is huge but I think the addition of Harrison will kind of maybe sort of cancel it out. Since the pasing game will be even more spread out, Addai should be able to get some good yardage and NE is not that great against the run (it's probably their weakest aspect along with running the ball). The advantages the Colts had earlier in the year are definitely gone but I think the cold will affect the Pats more (as evidenced at other points in the season) - especially if they can't grind it out on the ground. Plus, NE has everything to lose and the Colts should be relatively relaxed since they aren't "supposed" to win.

It's not like I think the Pats are a lock to lose, I just have a feeling that the Colts are going to beat them (assuming they get past the Chargers). Would it be that surprising? They were 13-3 on the year only losing to the Chargers and NE (two very good teams - I really can't count the Sorgi game as a loss). The one HUGE advantage NE has though is their coaching staff - I don't care what anyone says, Belichick is a mastermind when it comes to designing a gameplan and it wouldn't surprise me if they came out and ran 70% of the time and went dink-and-dunk the other 30% and ended up crushing the Colts using some weird unexpected gameplan for the first time all season.
 
I also have the feeling that the Colts will beat the Pats. Anyway, aside for the minor quad injury, how about Vince Young surviving the Madden Cure. Mediocre playing, but the Titans did make the playoffs.

i don't think he had a particularly great season.. His defense and RBs won them their games not him..Alex Smith had a better second season in the pros..

The Pats actually had some success with the dink and dunk in the 2nd half of that game since the Colts DE's were going all out on the pass rush every single down. They tried to counter that with draws in the 1st half and it wasn't working.

I think they'll run a lot of plays with Faulk in the backfield and throw a lot of short or screen passes to him and Welker, with Moss and Stallworth spreading out the D. Having Faulk and Watson in will help with pass protection. The dink and dunk works in the cold, just look at the snow game in 01 when their RB was Antowain Smith. Plus, it'll be ~40 degrees with a 3mph wind, not so bad.

I do think there will be opportunities to go downfield here and there as well. They did give up a few long ones in the last game.
 
Hope people had the chance to watch Patrick Willis on Jim Rome Is Burning. This kid is amazing, humble, and easily right now, one of the best defensive players in the league. Hell, even got votes for DPOTY as a rookie.

#52

Patrick Willis once sacked the QB before the snap, and offsides wasn't called.
 
[quote name='kaptinmorgan']don't have too much to say other than i hope the hawks spank the packers saturday, kinda worried about it though.[/quote]

You're worried because the Seahawks have no chance to win. I would be more surprised if the Seahawks win more than any of the other underdogs this week.
 
Now that the Steelers are out I'm sort of rooting for the Packers. I've always thought they were a similar team (in their outlook/history/tradition/fan support) as the steelers. Very hard nosed and wouldnt it be cool for Farve to go out on a SUperbowl win?
 
I don't think the Packers will have much trouble getting to the Superbowl but not too sure of them winning it unless someone puts their helmet on Brady's knee (which would be awesome) or they lose to the Colts (which would even be better).
 
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the Giants to beat the Cowboys this weekend. I have tickets to the NFC Championship game, if the game is held in GB. Not that I am worried about our chances in Dallas, but nothing says football like an NFC Title game in Lambeau in January!

You have tickets to the title game? Holy crap your lucky. I wonder if T.O. is really still hurt or if the cowgirls coach is being tricky. I don't think he's quick enough to be tricky. I'm still waiting for the cowgirls to run that 60 stretch far laaaaa play. Smack Romo in his earhole Strahan!
