I think there are only a few teams who can win the entire thing.

AFC Championship - Pittsburgh over New England
NFC Championship - Dallas over Seattle
Super Bowl - Pittsburgh over Dallas

This weekend's winners:

Oakland, Pitt, Seattle, Packers

Not a prediction, only a hope...

Anybody but the Steelers.

Wildcard Predictions:
Texans, Steelers, Seahawks, Giants

An awesome match up for the Super Bowl would be KC v Detroit! Man, I would love it if that happened. It would be great for the game!

Or, KC v Atlanta.

But, realistically I know neither is a likely scenario. Saying that, KC has the easier route to the AFC Championship.

I think the giants are going in the NFC.

Playoff Eli isn't a joke. The cowboys better pray the giants don't make it out of Green Bay

This weekend's games:

Raiders over Texans
Seahawks over Lions
Steelers over Dolphins
Giants over Packers

This is Brady's swan song opportunity. I think he makes the most of it.

No predictions, but man, Oakland really had a bad stroke of luck. They're LT is out. Another tackle is out and one of their guards is questionable.

They hae a great OL, but Connor Cook should be very afraid.

It's a shame with Oakland. Before their OL and Carr went down, they had a great shot. I really do feel bad for them.

Yeah, I'm not a Raider fan, but that sucks.

Wild Card Weekend :

Texans over Raiders ... No Carr At QB
Seahawks over Lions ... Home Field
Steelers over Dolphins ... Hope the Dolphins pull the upset
Packers over Giants ... Lambeau

I'm just doing this week because that's all I have the energy to do.

Texans big over the Raiders (31-9) - No way Cook will do anything in his first NFL start, against that defense, ON THE ROAD. Sucks for the Raiders to be that close to such a great season and it to end that way.

Seahawks wait until middle of the 4th to put away the Lions (27-13) - Stafford is hurt, the Seahawks are at home and the Lions haven't won a playoff game in like 25 years. Sorry Detroit. I would really enjoy seeing the Lions win though.

Steelers will destroy the Dolphins (38-10) - Please, we know how this goes. I don't even know if I'll watch this one.

Packers with a very late TD to beat the Giants (31-27) - I think this will be the only "good" game of the weekend. "Playoff Eli" is a myth but I believe in it for now, I severely dislike the Packers and their QB. The Giants will kick a late FG to go up 3, leaving 1:09 on the clock and then Rodgers will march the length of the field to score a TD will a few seconds left.

Seachickens @ Falcons - (35-38 Falcons) - This will be a shootout and it's going to come down to the team that gets the ball last. Seattle will tie late but the Falcons will drive for a FG to win as time expires.

Texans @ Patriots - (3-42 Pats) - Bloodbath.

Steelers @ Chiefs - (24-13 Steelers) - Icy field favors the Steelers running game. The game will be mostly close until a mid-4th Q TD by the Steelers puts it away. Oh well.

Packers @ Cowboys - (24-28 Cowboys) - Zeke will run all over the Packers and Rodgers will throw all over the Boys, but without Nelson on the field, the Packers won't be able to consistently move the ball in the 2nd half. We might get to see another hail mary, but this one will get batted away to preserve the win for the Boys. Jerry celebrates.

Packers
Seahawks
Patriots
Cheifs

Cowboys (but rooting for the Packers)
Seahawks
Patriots (seriously...just play your B team)
Steelers (they can take the Patriots who I absolutely hate)

Dallas
Seattle
Chiefs
Patriots

Atlanta

I'm guessing it'll be Atlanta at Dallas and Pittsburgh at New England

Superbowl: NE and GB, I think GB takes it.

Pittsburgh and Green Bay win this weekend.

I picked NE but it wouldn't surprise me to see Pittsburgh win

Atlanta wins it all!!!

That would be a wonderful matchup...

Their offense cooks. I am surprised how impressed I was with their defense! Looks like a solid and total package to me. Ryam might be for real.

Arthur Blank is a pretty good guy by all accounts I've read,, I'd be fine with him getting a trophy..

Remember when Oregon's offense "cooked" and they looked unstoppable w/Mariota?

Yea, they then met THE Ohio State University and were stopped dead in their tracks.

Not comparing college ball to pro ball, at all. Just sayin'....people get caught up in the fast, slick, sexy downfield ball that Atlanta plays just as the Mariota Ducks played. It is intoxicating to watch as they wrack up points and make a defense suffer as they move quick as lightning pushing them back on their heels.

And then....they meet a coach and a team that knows how to slow them down, manipulate the field and the line of scrimmage so that the tempo becomes dictated by the defense rather than the offense. When that happens the pendulum swings and the opponents offense begins clicking as all momentum is now in their favor. Example: OSU v Oregon in the National Championship.

All of that said, I do hope Atlanta wins. I really could care less about the Falcons. They are a team and a city I rarely think about. But, I am SO tired of NE and it would be nice to see a new team win it. Kinda like Seattle when they first came on the scene and won it with Carroll. That was refreshing. The same 'ol teams are getting boring. But, don't ever underestimate BB. I just hope for a tight, exciting, competitive match. Maybe another GB v Dallas type match up.

Belichick will dial something up on defence, he always does.
I think NE will win going away, actually.
But what do I know?

What BB does well is to take away your best weapon. The problem is, the Falcons have a lot of play makers and do a lot quite well.

While there's no doubt that Julio Jones is their star, both Sanu and Benjiman produce very well. They have also had a consistent running game.

I believe it will be a very close game. I'm certainly rooting for Atlanta. I'd love to see Mack and Benji get a ring.

I think you're mixing up Taylor Gabriel with Travis Benjamin, as Travis plays for Chargers or whatever they'll be called.

I'm obviously rooting for Atlanta. Seeing Mack get a ring would please me actually, even though he left us for bigger and better. Plus, NE is just a team I hate. The only time I rooted for them is because my hatred for Pittsburgh is even greater lol.

I think Atlanta's defense will surprise people. Their offense gets the spotlight mainly, but their defense has been deserving of credit/props. With that said, Brady can exploit any defense so...

I too think it'll be a close game, opposite of the blowouts we've been seeing.

Yeah, I get the smurfs mixed up sometimes. lol

Do you remember a couple of years ago when so many of our posters were calling Shanny trash?

Those same guys are the ones still loving what the Browns are doing.

They never learn.

I remember. Very well I remember.

A lot of people put ownership and our HC above everything. Even common sense. Everyone from that regime is gone now except for Sashi and Shanny is now a hot commodity for a HC position in the NFL. Funny how that works, huh?

I guess there could be a few posters whose comments could be twisted as calling Shanahan "trash", but if you look through these threads, you'll see that the general theme from posters seems quite the opposite. The second thread I only read the first few pages before it dovetailed into other stuff.

I think most people were upset with how he left rather than what he did here as offensive coordinator.

A typical, childish response from you.

A typical childish whine from you.

I'm sorry you get that upset when you attempt to spin some narrative that just is not there.

Better luck next time.
