Steelers shouldn't lose again. Their depth is too great throughout their football team. Patriots "need" Dillon to have a Chance, Steelers have 2 starters in Bettis and Staley who can get the job done, one of the best 3rd down backs in the league with Haynes, then Parker the rookie who had 100 yards agains the Bills (who allowed only 2 100 yard rushers before the game), and did I mention Parker got all those yards in ONE half? Their awesome defense and dominating run game can carry them past anyone. Their biggest threat might actually be San Diego who has an really good run defense, but the Steelers have proven they can take to to the air if they need to, of which that is actually SD's weakness - defense against the pass...

BUT, the AFC is so good this year, its a tall order to survive two games let alone 3, it could be anyone from the AFC except the Jets, I honostly don't think they have what it takes. Martin is a plus but despite having the league's leading rusher, their offense still struggles? Their defense is among the best in the AFC but their offense simply can't score the points it will take for them to win. Denver is an iffy, if they can muster together 3 great games they could make the superbowl, their offense and defense are both top 10 when they play well, but the teams they'll play simply don't make the mistakes. But again, it could be anyone from the AFC, I definately like Pittsburgh's chances at home.

It should be an all Pennsylvania SB, but the Ealges are suspect without TO. I don't think its TO's skills that help the team, just the confidence, TO really isn't that much better than the league's other top recievers, he just packs a lot of confidence and that confidence bleeds off onto his teamates. If they can find that confidence they can go the distance.
 
I'm a Pats fan, and have been for a while, but damn are the Steelers good. The Steelers are quite good. Eagles too. Damn them.
 
1st Round:
Pack over Vikes (actually I'm a Vikes fan but they aren't winning in GB)
Seahawks over Rams
Chargers over Jets
Colts over Broncos

2nd Round:
Steelers over Chargers
Pats over Indy (if in Indy, Indy would win but not at Foxboro they won't)
Philly over Seahawks
Atlanta over GB

3rd Round:
Steelers over Pats (home field huge here)
Atlanta over Philly

Super Bowl:
Steelers over Atlanta
 
I am a Diehard packer fan but I think I would go with the Steelers in the Big Show. Plus I like Cower he is one of my favorite coaches.

Winner: Colts

Yeah, that's me (Rams) versus my best friend (Colts). I'm still saying that the Rams will take the NFC, with the Colts, Patriots, or Steelers taking the AFC. The Rams will lose the SuperBowl, but it will still be a hard fought battle.

I love how everybody comes out saying that the Rams are going to lose the Wild Card game so easily... even a lot of Rams fans... no faith.

Wow I'm the only one picking the jets. I based it only on gut feeling and brief glimpses of both teams play. What does everyone love about the chargers in this game? They are heavily favored by the oddsmakers too.

It's because the Jets suck.

They lost to Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England (twice), and St. Louis. The only "good" teams they beat were the Chargers (way back in week 2) and Seattle (who are limping into the playoffs).
 
I agree with the OP, except that the Steelers will beat the Pats, and then go on to win the Superbowl.

Well on the other hand, the only notable win the chargers had was against denver, who beat them in their other game. The Jets did beat buffalo in their other meeting...

True, but it is hard to argue finishing the season winning 9 out of 10

I don't see why anyone would think that Atlanta can beat the Eagles at home - it just will not happen.

Gee..didnt they say the same thing about the Panthers last year? :roll:
