    Chiefs by 7 - I hate the Colts, and LJ will run a lot.
    Cowboys by 3 - I think they can work it out
    Patriots by 10 - They are invincible at home in the playoffs
    Eagles by 13 - Jeff Garcia is looking good.

    Geez, the majority of you guys are picking the Eagles to win. The majority of you picked against them to win the conference several months ago and did the opposite happened. I hope the majority wins this time. :)

    Sorry. I just can't pick the Colts. I watched the Texans and Ron Dayne beat this team.

    Assuming they don't fumble a bunch, the Chiefs will control the ball and the game. Just like the Texans, they will need very little from their QB to win.

    The Colts run defense is close to the worst, if not the worst in the league. But to say that all the Chiefs have to do is pound the rock with LJ would be a mistake.

    At home this year the Colts have given up over 100 yrds to a single rusher 5 times.

    Danye (HOU) 37
    Jones-Drew (JAX) 103
    Henry (TEN) 123
    Betts (WAS) 52
    Thomas (BUF) 109
    Westbrook (PHI) 124
    Johnson (CIN) 79
    Brown (MIA) 115

    Which would be alarming- except that the Colts are also undefeated at home this year and have outscored opponents on average of 11 points (30-19 rounded).

    The Chiefs defense will have trouble stopping the Colts passing game and the Colts D might give up some yards to LJ, but I still think the Colts win at home.

    Colts
    Cowboys - The Seahawks #1 corner is doubtful, and their #2 and #3 corners were placed on injured reserve this week. I like to over and the cowboys. TO could have a big game
    Patriots
    Eagles

    i hear ya. i'm certainly not saying the chiefs are a lock! :) but what i've seen of the colts of late is extremely unimpressive. i think they're very beatable, even at home.

    It sucks that I picked the Colts. They have really been controlling the game. They almost have a 3-1 lead in time of possession. :eek:

    Not so fast my friend!

    Incredible job by the Indy defense- 7 first downs by KC, 126 yards of total offense, only 44 rushing yards and almost a 2-1 time of possession margin for the Colts.

    Now time for the Seahawks to step up at home in the wintry conditions.

    Total domination by Indy (even with 3INT by Manning)... wouldn't be suprised to see them win in Baltimore next week again.

    Who gets homefield if its Colts vs. Patriots? Aren't the Colts the #3 seed?

    The Colts will go to Baltimore and Manning will get killed.

    The Chiefs were totally overmatched in this one they just don't have what it takes to stay with Indy @ the RCA dome, they had no chance in this game. The Colts are not that good and Baltimore is a disastrous matchup for Ind.


    Seahawks are down their top 3 or 4 CBs, I don't see how they will be able to handle T.O., Terry Glenn and Witten, and I think Romo has the poise to get it done, the Cowboys just have make sure they are focused. If they play the way they are capable of, the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC.

    Right on the money. ;-)

    They tried to depend on LJ and it got them nowhere. Trent Green had only 8 pass attempts by mid third quarter and made only two. By the time they tried to make a comeback (which they did by moving the ball up the field through the air, Trent Green with 6-6 passing), it was too late.
