I hope the packers and redskins win. That way its Redskins Vs Falcons.

I'm pulling for the falcons myself. Last year with Tony so they better do something.

Sadly I see the Ravens not making it past the wild card round.

I hope you're right. :D The Colts have traditionally owned the Ravens hard, but that was with Manning at the helm. Hopefully Luck continues the trend, but it is going to be tough and they've had a great season regardless of what happens.

If the Vikings manage to get past the Packers, they'll probably go to the NFC Championship because the Falcons can't win playoff games.

But that's a big IF.

Meh, the Ravens traditionally owned the Texans and we all know how much that helped them this year. I'm much more worried about the fact that the Ravens lost 3 out of 4 games in December (I'm not counting yesterday's glorified exhibition game against the Bengals.)

Conference games are on my birthday.. and I'll be in Vegas. Holy.

It'll suck if the 49ers host that game cause I have tickets already. I guess I'd be able to sell them for a nice profit.

Wild Card:
Packers over Vikings
Redskins over Seahawks
Texans over Bengals
Colts over Ravens

Divisional:
49ers over Packers
Redskins over Falcons
Patriots over Colts
Broncos over Texans

Championship:
49ers over Redskins
Patriots over Broncos

Superbowl:
49ers over Patriots

:awe:

Didn't they lose a couple key players in that meaningless game Sunday?

The best game will probably be the 'Hawk/Skins game. A good defense v a very talent running attack. That's the one I am really interested in. oh... and lol Bears!

How do you start with a 7-1 record, then miss the playoffs? Not done since the 96 Skins.

there's been no three-peat superbwl winners (back to back to back).
not even an option since no team made it to the superbowl 3 consecutive times with the first 2 times as winners

buffalo bills 4 consecutive loses (1991-94) is impressive tho! :eek:

Agreed on all of the above.

Not necessarily who I want to win, but who I think will win:
Texans over Bengals in a close one
Packers over Vikings easily, as Ponder regresses
Colts over Ravens in a close one
Seahawks over Redskins in a rout

Won't predict beyond that as injuries will be too big of a factor.

Patriots 3 appearances and 3 wins in 4 years is the best stretch ever, imo.

No a very sad pathetic Lions fan...:|

I can relate... me too.

Sad, and disappointing.. especially not winning a game in like 2 months. Can't really stomach how we can have a 4900+ yard passer and a 1900 yard reciver and finish 4-12. The talent on this team is lacking big time.
