    If Detroit can beat St. Louis I'm pretty sure Dallas or Seatle could.

    Not IN St. Louis. If Phili chokes again, go ahead and pencil the Rams into the Superbowl. They will not lose at home to anyone.

    That's a valid point. They were undefeated at home this year. I guess the only question is if Bulger is good for the Playoff's? Two weeks should be plenty of time to heal, but I heard he got pretty beat up yesterday. Did he even finish the game?

    Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers
    Panthers, Bill has done all he could with Dallas in one year.

    Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers
    Packers, GB definatly has the momentum right now. A Seattle win would be a huge upset.

    Philly vs. Carolina
    Carolina, I really think that the Panthers D is under rated.

    Green Bay vs. St. Louis
    St. Louis, Farve's magic is not enough to get them bye here.

    Carolina vs. St. Louis
    St. Louis, Just a gut feeling here.

    Tennessee Titans vs. Baltimore Ravens
    Ravens bye a nose, McNair's injuries are the breaker here in my opinion. Look for R. Lewis to be all over him.

    Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts
    Indy, Beating the same team twice in two weeks is tough, plus all the last minute comebacks this year has given Peyton some presure confidence

    Indianapolis vs Kansas City
    Indy, KC has already proved that they can't stop a team with more than one offensive threat.

    New England vs. Baltimore
    NE, Brady picks 'em apart.

    New England vs Indianapolis
    NE, the preasure finally gets to Peyton and he craps the bed.

    Super Bowl
    St. Louis vs. New England
    Pickem'

    i pick the ravens to make alotta noise in the playoffs this year..
    they have the best running game and the most feared defense

    and lookout for the broncos too...portis and the bronco D aint too bad either..

    the nfc is weak this year...i think philly is the team...if not then its the packers

    I don't know if this changes your picks or not, but if Denver and Tennessee both win in round 1, then the lower seed (Denver) plays at New England. If Tennessee wins and Indy wins, then Tennessee goes to New England, and Indy goes to KC.

    In the NFL playoffs, the top seed ALWAYS plays the lowest seed left in round 2, after the bye.

    Dallas vs. Carolina

    0-0 Called on account of no offense

    Seattle vs. GB

    35-35 Ghost of Bret Farve's Dad causes power outage as Hasselback's game winning pass is in the air

    Baltimore vs. Tennessee
    14-14 The Titan's can't run and the Ravens can't pass

    Denver vs. Indy

    Still playing on Monday as Peyton Manning recites the full text of War and Peace before the first snap

    But really:

    Dallas 13 Carolina 10 Urkel out chunks Delhombre
    Seattle 27 GB 24 Karma evens out for the Pack
    Titans 24 B'more 17 Stop Lewis and Bmore is meat
    Denver 31 Indy Rested and ready, Indy can't stop the run

    History has proven t is pure folly to pick against the home seeds in the playoffs, so why do it?

    The worst NFC game the Packers could face is the Rams in St L--and that is exactly what they will get if they beat Seattle. I just don't see Green Bay winning 2 playoff games (making it to the NFC championship), them winning 2 road games (Rams and and strong probability of Phily) to make the Super Bowl is extremely remote. IMO Seattle has a better chance at knocking GB out in Lambeau than GB does at winning in St L versus a rested St L.

    I agree with the poster's comment about Carolina's D. They are good, them and the Cowboys have the best 2 defenses left in the NFC. But like the Cowboys, their offense can easily get shut down.

    Sooner or later Farve's emotions only will carry them so far and the better teams will take them out.

    My bad, if GB and Carolina win the The Pack would be at Phily. It would not suprise me as much if the Pack beat Phily on a cold windy Phily day (pound Green up the middle, make Phily's safeties focus on the run, mix in a few Farve play actions, than go back to the run)--that is a much better match-up for them than the Rams in the dome which figures to be a track meet.

    NFC

    Dallas vs. Carolina...Dallas
    Seattle vs. Green Bay...Green Bay

    Philadelphia vs. Dallas...Dallas (Not really a Cowboys fan but I'm a Texas fan so. Plus I think Philly is highly overrated and so is McNabb.)


    St. Louis vs. Green Bay....Green Bay (Too much emotional adrenaline in their favor to lose. Barring Faulk getting 30+ carries which he won't because Martz doesn't know how to run a balanced offense, Packers have it sealed.)

    Dallas vs. Green Bay.... Green Bay


    AFC

    Tennesee vs. Baltimore....Tennesee (They always seem to figure out how to grind out a win.)

    Denver vs. Indianapolis....Denver (Denver exploited the Indy defense last time they met and I expect more of the same.)

    Denver vs. Kansas City.... Denver

    Tennesee vs. New England....New England (They grind out wins better then Tennesee, and they're at home. Pretty much seals it.)

    Denver vs. New England....New England

    SUPER BOWL:

    New England vs. Green Bay.... New England (They just don't make costly mistakes and they always seem to make something out of other teams mistakes. They're also the smartest team in the NFL and to put it simply, they know how to win.)
