Looks like me, Nevermore, and Zetleft are gonna be getting the bagel this week unless Minnesota surprises everyone. I do much better at predicting college games.

This is why I don't predict games. I can never anticipate when a team that sets a record for fewest turnovers in a season ends up with 5 in one game.  |
Over and out.

If I got someone wrong, let me know.
On to the next round of picks. You must pick all the way now (otherwise there is no reason to have increasing point values).
AFC
BAL @ TEN: BAL - a week off hurts TEN's momentum
SD @ PIT: SD - Ben not himself
NFC
ARI @ CAR: CAR - Panthers won't give the Cards all those turnovers
PHI @ NYG: NYG - I have to pick more than one home team and the Eagles didn't look so hot against MIN.
I don't know the homefield situations for the conference finals. If you do, feel free to keep it to yourself for your advantage or not.
BAL v SD: BAL - Norv Turneritis strikes again
CAR v NYG: CAR - No Plaxico, no Championship repeat.
XLIII
BAL v CAR: BAL in a snoozer

AFC
BAL @ TEN: I can't believe I'm picking a team based on Kerry Collins' experience, but yes, that's what I'm doing.
SD @ PIT: If Rothliesberger were healthy, I'd be picking Pitt. But he won't be 100% and their running game has been suspect since Parker's injury. Rivers wins again.
NFC
ARI @ CAR: Arizona gets to play a real defense, and they will lose hard.
PHI @ NYG: The Giants find a way to win this one, probably on defense since the Eagles offense has been horrible.
DIV Finals
TEN v SD: Big time defense will finally shut the Chargers down.
CAR v NYG: The Panthers find a way to beat the Giants.
XLIII
TEN v CAR: Panthers finally take it to the house, Jeff Fisher gets disappointed again.

AFC
BAL @ TEN: BAL - they want the Steelers again, and I don't know if TEN can stop the run well enough
SD @ PIT: PIT - same type of game as before, but I don't think the Charger defense can play lights out like the last time in PIT
NFC
ARI @ CAR: CAR - it's been a good run for the Cardinals, but seriously, Kurt Warner?
PHI @ NYG: NYG - as always with the Eagles, it depends on which team shows up; this week I think it'll be the Giants
Conference Championships
BAL @ PIT: PIT - both this year's games have had an "unfinished" feeling, hopefully this one ends it
CAR @ NYG: NYG - experience wins out
XLIII
PIT v NYG: NYG - too much defensive line for PIT to handle

AFC
BAL @ TEN: Tennessee - They won't make the same errors that Miami did
SD @ PIT: Pittsburgh - The defense is just too good, and offense just good enough
NFC
ARI @ CAR: Carolina - Cards got lucky last time
PHI @ NYG: New York - If the Vikings hadn't pissed away the game, Philly stood no chance, but the Giants won't do that
Conference Champs
PIT @ TEN: Pittsburgh - with feeling
CAR @ NYG: Carolina - Carolina played them close in the last matchup, and they get the win here
Super Bowl
PIT v CAR: Pittsburgh - all the way

Well, I can't just drop out now.
AFC
BAL @ TEN: Tennessee - It was all the Miami turnovers that screwed them. Baltimore's offense wasn't really that impressive and Tennessee has a better defense than the Dolphins.
SD @ PIT: Pittsburgh - Assuming Roethlisberger is 100%
NFC
ARI @ CAR: Carolina - Cardinals are playing on the east coast this time
PHI @ NYG: New York - I didn't watch the Minnesota-Philadelphia game, so I'm just picking the home team here.
Conference Champs
PIT @ TEN: Pittsburgh - similar teams, so I'll go with the better defense.
CAR @ NYG: Carolina - Giants have the better offense, better defense and home field advantage. I'm taking Carolina on a hunch.
Super Bowl
PIT v CAR: Carolina - great rushing offense vs great rushing defense (and best overall defense). Pittsburgh's offense is ordinary at best, though. Panthers in a low scoring game.

Over and out.

AFC
BAL @ TEN: Tennessee in a snoozer...think 13-6 or something horrible.
SD @ PIT: Norv will shit the bed on the road. Pitt, with or without Worthlessburger. 27-13
NFC
ARI @ CAR: Carolina cruises. 37-24
PHI @ NYG: Giants. 24-17
DIV Finals
Pitt v Tenn: Tennessee in another boring grind. 17-13
CAR v NYG: Not again, Eli. Panthers 31-20
XLIII
TEN v CAR: Panthers 23-17

DIV PLAYOFF ROUND
PIT over SD — Worthlessburger or not, Steelers ride 'D' to victory
BAL over TEN — A lovely season for the Titans, but Kerry Collins to have flashbacks of his Giant SB year, even if the Raven defensive 2008 edition is a notch below that 2000 crew
NYG over PHI — G-men take the rubber match as schizo Eagle sqaud checks out of the season prematurely
CAR over ARI — Arizona struggled all year in east coast visits, and this week shall be no exception
CONF CHAMPIONSHIPS
PIT over BAL — By a score of 6-5
NYG over CAR — Giants just a better model of the Panthers, if it were any other team, Panthers win
SB XLIII
PIT over NYG — Steelers get payback for blowing the lead over NYG in regular season match, Worthlessburger becomes Betterthanburger, come on, if I picked the Steelers this far, got to go all the way…

SD vs PIT - The Steelers D will contain Stoles and a lackluster LT and pretty much shut down Rivers. Pitt wins a low scoring game.
BAL vs TEN - Despite the impressive D against Miami the Ravens aren't really all that. The Titans are a much more capable team on offense and on defense than Miami. I'm predicting that the Titans make the Ravens look like chumps who are out of place.
PHI vs NYG - I actually think momentum could carry the Eagles, if they get lucky and force a few turnovers and don't do anything stupid. However, NY just has to play a reasonably solid game to win and so I have to go with them.
ARI vs CAR - Hehehe, whatever.
AFC Champions - PIT
NFC Champions - Whoever wins between PHI and NYG, so I'll go with NYG as most likely.
SB XLIII - The NFC champ, NYG.

So? Does that mean everyone is out? I don't think anyone picked Ari to advance.
If I were a Panthers fan I don't think I would admit it any time soon.

Either the Eagles or Cardinals in the Super Bowl? Really? I hope no one here is a fan of the Steelers, because I picked them to win. So far I've been perfect in being wrong. |
Over and out.

Wow, my only hope to have any points now at all for this rides with Pittsburgh as well. I think Nevermore and I should go into business picking teams so people can bet the other way.
