I can't believe I'm not only going to expect a Norv Turner team to get to the Super Bowl, I'm going to expect the SAINTS to get to and WIN a Super Bowl. But there it is.

I think my brain is incapable of thinking the Cowboys or Saints can win a playoff game. Then again, I'm picking the Chargers so what do I know?

There is a lot of Ravens love, too, but I think people are forgetting how totally unimpressive they were at the start of the season. Still, momentum means a lot in the playoffs and the Ravens look solid if not spectacular.

Weren't the Ravens actually VERY impressive the first three games, and then went into a slide? Maybe that's what you meant. Or maybe I misremember.

Ravens have been inconsistent - but so have the Pats. The Pats defense has been pretty terrible, while the Ravens have good defense other than a slightly penalty prone backfield. Also, the Pats are without Welker who is a shitton more important than I think even the Patriots realize to that passing game. The cold won't bother either team, negating any home field advantage. When in doubt in January, go with the better defense.

I don't bet against Belichick in Foxboro, no matter what the guys on Sportscenter say. I don't trust the Bengals and Marvin Lewis in the playoffs. I think Norv Turner coaches the game of his life against Belichick but Manning crushes his dreams. Defense wins championships and I think Dallas takes down McNabb, Favre and Brees in succession, but Indy is too experienced for them and they wilt in the Super Bowl.

-------- NOTES --------
√ …teams that throttle back (Colts, Saints) and coast into the playoffs typically encounter difficulty in restoring play at the previous stellar level…
√ …Chargers, Cowboys, Packers hottest teams going into playoffs… …Cardinals still most formidable with superior coaching than those three…
√ …Bengals are an enigma — could either flop or be Superbowl bound…
√ …Vikings will get great performance from Favre but it won't be enough to offset other deficiencies…

Favre is going to pull one of great fuck-up games during the playoffs. That is a just a free prediction.

Big game: Colts. No, Vikings! Bleh, probably the damn Colts. Manning throws for 400 and 4 TDs. AP leaves the game early as a result of knocking himself out with his own biceps. Favre cries after the game, but promises to be back (and then promptly retires the next day).

Crap, just noticed I had the divisional matchup wrong.
Maybe since the game hasn't happened yet and my teams are still live I can change my NFC picks:
Minn over Dallas New Orleans over GB
Minn over New Orleans

Tally after WildCard weekend:
0 pts: Azuredream 1 pts: shiznitz, caladein, WayAbvPar 2 pts: 01101010, Haemish, Montague, naum, Abagadro, Cyrrex, Nebu 3 pts: Draegan, Trppy 4 pts: Rasix
Azuredream and myself are fucked since 2 of our divisional picks did not advance, but this could get interesting if Indy and/or the Chargers blow it. I am also fucked because half my Superbowl matchup is gone.

Thank you Karlos Dansby for saving my ass. And Kurt fucking Warner: 29 of 33 for 379 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions? Seriously... if they had lost, I would look to him to give the finger to the entire defense before retiring. Not going against my pick, but the old man bowl (Cards vs Vikings) would be

How did anyone pick the Bengals over the Jets after the Jets thrashed their starters?

Everybody always counts the Jets short. Mostly because they usually deserve it.

New update:
No way to win either because a key team is gone or other people have the same picks from here with higher points:
01101010 caladein naum Draegan WayAbvPar Rasix Azuredream Abagadro Trippy Nebu Montague
If Colts beat the Vikings, Cyrrex edges Trippy.
If Saints beat the Colts, Nebu wins.
If Minnesota wins, I steal it (by 1pt if they beat Indy).
If somehow the Jets win it all, I am not sure yet.

Then I have accomplished all that I set out to! Even though both of my Super Bowl picks are still alive, however, I don't have much confidence. Feels wrong. We'll see.

Superbowl will be won by the Vikings. Then Brett Favera will pour gasoline all over himself and set it all on fire with a match from his victory cigar, because he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.

Goddamned Norv Turner. I knew he would shit the bed in the playoffs but I figured it would be against the Colts, not the freaking Jets.
And the Cowboys... yeah. Don't know what I was thinking with that one.
