The best possible Super Bowl would be Denver-Patriots but since thats not possible I'd like to see Falcons-Patriots

No, that would be boring. Patriots would run all over the Falcons. They had a hot start, but now they are struggling.

We have an interesting potential superbowl matchup Sunday night with the Patriots/49ers game. There is no way I am picking the 49ers on the road against the red hot Patriots after the beatdown they gave the Texans last night

seriously? AFC is a joke this year.

how about SF-GB? or GB-NYG? or SF-NYG? Seattle vs x would be better than any AFC superbowl.

Actually their running game looked better than last year combined, these last few games... Maybe we will see the re-introduction to the Power Sweep and the packers will become a run team again...
Nothing wrong with that, attack a team where it's weakest and GB's running has been a factor this year and the Lions struggle to stop it, why not?, eats clock and no chances for a pick. Atlanta is the favorite of many but they need to beat a GB or NYG in a playoff game before I'm convinced..

Could have still been called illegal contact and not PI.

Seattle did beat the Patriots early this year but just barely, at home, with the Pat's D nowhere close to where it's playing now. Calling a Manning, a Luck, or a Brady led-team a "joke" only exposes how little you really know about football..

It's a rare call against a receiver but in the end it was NE's night, when a ball gets popped out and lands in the end zone where your guy can flop on it, it's your night..

Except GB already lost to SF and NYG. NYG has the strategy to beat the packers. That is obvious. I wouldnt mind a rematch with SF, now that the rust has worn off some of the top players for the packers from week 1.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ICF is the biggest Colts homer here and even he says the Colts are a mediocre/bad team.

That won't be the problem. 49ers' leaky secondary will be. Hopefully Aldon can get a few more sacks to take the pressure off of them.

Each corner has a great game now and them but they're so damn inconsistent. Culliver looked awesome against the Dolphins, but looked like crap against the Giants.

That's because they suck vs decent QBs and WRs. It reminds me of the 90s all over again. Couldn't get over the hump until they brought in Neon, lol.

Still good enough to beat Brees, Stafford and Rodgers.

I attribute those wins more to the D line. How many big third down conversions did they give up in those games?
