Right now I think I would like to see the Saints beat Philly and have to go to Seattle !

Would love the Packers to beat the Whinners but doubt that happens !

AFC I don't care too much but ..... Bengals & Colts to win at Home !

Keep hope alive of course we will pluck the Eagles!

I just can't get the image of the Saints losing to a 7-9 Seattle team when they should have dominated just because they were on the road. Face it they are a horrible road team and the Eagles are playing some pretty good football at home this last month or so. Saints should win as they are the better team but they have a crippling road weakness. I guess you could say my pick was hedging my bets. Either I win that pick and move on or I can enjoy losing as the team I'm rooting for moves on.

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Strictly speaking it's a myth that the Saints are awfull on the road, they have been one of the top teams in this category for a number of years. However that is during the regular season. I think I am right in saying that they have NEVER won a road playoff game and are 0-5. Still here's hoping.

Philly over Saints

Niners over packers

Bengals over Chargers

Colts over Chiefs.

As much as I want the Pack to win, Niners are bigger on O-line and have a Better D, and this game looks like a ground game because of Weather.

And the Saints are not good on the road this year. Since 09 they have the second best record, but this year they have been really really bad. Getting destroyed by Seattle and then losing to St. Louis isn't a good sign. Every single road game this year against their division rivals has been either much closer or a loss compared to when they played in NO.

You can see it in FFL as well. Looking at Brees' weekly totals, you can tell when they are at home compared to on the road very easily.

So far it is looking like the colts and chiefs game is going to be the difference game.

Actually the Eagles CAN play the Seahawks if the Niners win. Just in a later round.
But yeah, my bad about round two. Just had records in my head, and was thinking Niners higher seed than eagles. Forgot eagles were 3 seed.

Eagles over Saints
Bengals over Chargers
Niners over Packers
Chiefs over Colts

Seahawks over Niners
Eagles over Panthers
Broncos over Chiefs
Bengals over Pats

Eagles over Seahawks
Bengals over Broncos

Eagles over Bengals

Yeah. It's Prolly the game I'm least sure about, and wouldn't want to bet on a winner. Actually could go either way. Could be close. Could be a shootout. Could be blowout by either team. I'm just going chiefs because Colts won last time they played, and the fact that chiefs are now using JC on those short passing routes more often, just like in the game where he scored 5 times. Teams will plan for it, but its still gonna be hard to defend, and open Smith up for long passes down field.

Yes Grumble the record is indeed 0-5 so far.

I think we ll atleast get past the 1st PO game this yr though. I've got a feeling we can take the Eagles this Sun. Football Gods hear me!!

Saints are being underestimated. Only reason I have them not going farther is because I think the Eagles is the type of team that can beat them if it comes to a shootout. If saints beat eagles, I give them good chance to finish out in NFC.

My predictions:

Saints over Eagles (I hope. This game will partly be about how the 4th downs are handled, I think)
Bengals over Chargers
Niners over Packers (hope the other way around but don't see it happen)
Colts over Chiefs (Colts have been losing to bad teams, winning against the good ones. Chiefs have had a very bad defensive run in the closing month and are not in best form)

Niners over Panthers (no other outcome possible. If the Pack wins against SF, Rodgers and receivers will kill the Panthers, too)
Seattle over Saints (can't be avoided, I fear, unless Brees finds all his receivers and the D plays perfectly)
Broncos over Colts (but it will be very tight)
Patriots over Bengals (barely)

Niners over Seattle in a daylight robbery
Broncos over Pats in another damned Brady-Manning Bowl but more due to the Bronco's running game and play action.

Super Bowl; Niners over Bronco's.

I fear the D is once more going to reign supreme in the off season.
