Minnesota at Green Bay 4:30 PM Lambeau Field

San Diego over Jets.
Indy over Denver.  

otherwise I'm ruminating....GB its the old saying its hard to beat a team 3Xs in one season.  Could MN finally show up for 4 qtrs and more to the point, close?  
St Luis-Seattle flip a coin.

Ruminated (and going away from compt for days)
Seattle at home over St Luis.
MN upset special.

SD
Indy

My only concern is SD, they could very easily crumble.

rt 3-1
Reality 2-2
W.O.W 1-3

Shotenheimer is the Van Gundy-Popazit coach of NFL offenses.
OT game winning drive down to the 23 yard line (would be 40yard field goal attempt) in wet weather.  1st and 10.  Duh uh lets not try to advance ball but run 3 straight "give up" ultra conservative hand off "dive" running plays.  Chargers actually lose a yard.  41 yard attempt?  Doink.

AFC[/size] Semis
N.Y. Jets at Pittsburgh
Indianapolis at New England

NFC
[/color][/size]
St. Louis at Atlanta Sunday, Jan. 16
Minnesota at Philadelphia

Nice pick on the MN upset.  Believe me when I say not even diehard Vikings fans thought they would win.

I had an advantage because I saw the Eagles play both teams.  I knew Minnesota was the better team, and felt they were ready to beat the pack.  

I can't believe the Seahawks lost to the Rams, particularly since Haselbeck had the opportunity right at the end of the game.  On the very last play, he could have ran it in and passed to a wide-open reciever who dropped the ball.  Chokeartists!


Pittsburgh
New England
Atlanta
Philladelphia (Sorry JN)

Most wins

Reality 5
rt 3
W.O.W. 1


Michael Vick rules.  Bring it on Eagles.

Jets play Martyball instead of trying to advance ball for shorter field goal attempt.  Did anyone see Penntington run backwords two yards to center ball?  :nonono:

I know their kicker must like the ball in the middle but still, thats pathetic.

MN i did not see.  Radio said the fake QB sneak-pass into enzone was the lamest thing they have seen in ages.  I've got to see the replay.  What happened to Moon Moss?  Sounds like McNabb and his recieving corps did okay.

Archie Manning had so many passes dropped.   :huh:  Not surprised NE won at home but I am by the 3 pts of the Colts.

AFC Championship:[/size]NEngland at Pitt

NFC Champ:[/size]ATL at Eagles.

Pardon me, but I have called 7 games correctly so far.  I was 3-1 for the first round, and picked all of them this last weekend.

This week,

Philadelphia over Atlanta.  Vick is a very good, but inexperienced QB, and he will get crushed by the Eagles defense.  In addition, McNabb will have all day long to throw and the offense will be able to control the ball the clock and the game.

Pittsburgh over New England.  Just can't get over the way Pittsburgh beat NE when they were undefeated earlier this season.  The defense is too strong, and as long as Pittsburgh keeps it simple, pounding the ball down their throats with Duce and the Bus, they will win.

And we will have a Pennsylvania Super Bowl party in Jacksonville.

Joe and I talked about this before the playoffs started, and my picks were as follows:

Wild-card round
St Louis over Seattle  (Correct)
San Diego over NYJ  (Incorrect)
Indy over my Broncos  (Correct)   :cry:
Green Bay over Minnesota  (Incorrect)

Divisional round
Philly over St Louis  (Didn't occur)
Atlanta over Green Bay  (Didn't occur)
New England over Indy  (Correct)
Pitt over San Diego  (Didn't occur)

        Obviously three out of those four didn't happen, but I did pick the correct four teams to move on to the championship games.

Championship round
Philly over Atlanta
Pitt over New England

        I wouldn't be surprised to see either of these games go the other way, and if I could choose RIGHT NOW I'd take New England over Pitt, but I won't change my original choice.

Super Bowl
Pitt over Philly

        If Pitt doesn't make it, I'll take New England.  Whichever AFC team makes it will win.

My picks weren't very good.

I took:

Seattle over St. Louis
San Diego over New York Jets
Indianapolis over Denver (sorry, Caleb, but did ANYONE pick Denver?)
Green Bay over Minnesota

Apparently I can only win when picking against Caleb's team.  Hey, by the way, is the reason you haven't come to visit lately the absolute dread of wearing a Chiefs shirt?

Philadelphia over Seattle
Green Bay over Atlanta
Indy over New England
Pittsburgh over San Diego

Pittsburgh over Indianapolis, although Indy wouldn't be out of the question
Philadelphia over Green Bay

If Terrell Owens is healthy, Philadelphia over Pittsburgh, but because he isn't, Pittsburgh over Philadelphia.
