I think the Niners and Seahawks are real close and I love a good defense more than a good offense...this is where I can't stand the Broncos. But to be honest, I haven't seen the Niners do much on defense lately and that scares me because Kap isn't as great as he was last year and I don't think he can carry them. Should be an awesome playoffs and I can't wait to watch it all go down!

Thanks Barry, Leon, and Frank B.! I would like to start a pool as for when the Lions fire Jim Schwartz. Like the guy, but he's gotta go.

Best,

Andy

Peyton gonna win number 2 this year and finish off one of the greatest seasons for a QB.

I predict Peyton loses, as usual. History has proven he underperforms in the playoffs. Give me Brady any day (and especially Sunday).

Oh you mean brady that hasn't won a Super Bowl since they were caught cheating. Also the pats will be knocked out in the first game they play.

Why do the Miami Dolphins suck every year?

They give me false hope, and shoot themselves in the foot. I'm sick of them!!

Sorry, I had to vent.

Your point is?

+1. The job that Belichick has done with all of the injuries is unreal. Pats over Cincy at home, then over Peyton in Denver, then over the Hawk's in NJ!!

Best,

I heard from a fairly inside source that JS and all coordinators were out as of this past Monday, but they let them finish out the season.

Mike-- I hear ya, but do feel pretty good about our D. I know they've given up a couple big passing days, but on the whole they've carried this season. Kaep's streakiness worries me a bit... As does having to travel to GB, but I like SF's chances. Also- it was very impressive to go 7-1 in a division that had a cumulative 42-22 record (wonder if best division record ever??).

[freakhappy]

I'll give it to ya, Ian...the Niners just seem to get it done. I was really hoping they would've won it last year, but their defense really let them down in the playoffs last year...I thought for sure it was their year to win it

Just a few years ago, the NFC West was a joke and now it's arguably the best division in football! I have to say that I really like every team in that division...just plain scrappy and they play defense!!! I can see a handful of teams winning it this year...should be very entertaining indeed. It's going to be very tough to go into Denver and win...I'm just not seeing it this year. Peyton will be ready this year and should be playing in February. I really wouldn't be surprised to see any NFC team make it in...they are all dangerous and good enough to go.

Enough chatter. Let the games begin.
Pick all four winners next weekend worth 1 point each.
Just list your picks for the four winners.

Saints (NO) vs Eagles (Phil)
49ers (SF) vs Packers (GB) - easy pick here
Chargers (SD) vs Bengals (CIN)
Chiefs (KC) vs Colts (IND)

All picks must be made before the kick off of the first game of the weekend.
No points, no spreads. Your pick wins and you score a point.

If there is a possibility of a tie going into the Super Bowl week, a tiebreaker total points guess for both teams in the Super Bowl with determine the winner. Duplicate guesses will not be allowed. Only those with a chance of tying for the lead will be asked to submit a tiebreaker guess. You will be identified well in advance.

The second weekend, each pick is worth 2 points.

The conference playoffs are worth 3 points each.

The Super Bowl is worth 5 points.

You get to pick every game every week. If there is a possibility of a tie going into the Super Bowl week, a tiebreaker total points guess for both teams in the Super Bowl with determine the winner. Duplicate guesses will not be allowed. Only those with a chance of tying for the lead will be asked to submit a tiebreaker guess. You will be identified well in advance.


Hope I got the pairings right. I will announce the cutoff time for picks once I find out when the first game is.

The spreadsheet is ready to go. I accept bribes. Have at it.

[itjclarke]

Saints (NO) vs Eagles (Phil)- Saints
49ers (SF) vs Packers (GB) - Niners!! (yep, that was easy!)
Chargers (SD) vs Bengals (CIN)- Chargers
Chiefs (KC) vs Colts (IND)- Chiefs (they and Alex will surprise like 2011 Niners)

Touchdown of the day. Even the guy who scored was fooled. For those who missed it, it looks like an incomplete pass but was really a fumble. Nearly everyone, including the guy who picked up the ball, thought the play was over.

[barrysloate]

Please note that Frank's rules supersede mine, since he is keeping score. In other words, you can make your picks later than noon on the day of the games. I don't know about the bribes part, but that's between you and Frank.
