Could I have nailed the Playoffs any better?

LT might have a big game, but they'll put the clamps on Rivers and find a way to win a close one like they always do.

I'm not sold on the Ravens either. Their defense isn't as great as the team that won the Super Bowl and while McNair will be a tough out, I just don't see Baltimore scoring enough points.

Then that'll set up Pats/Colts once again, and on the turf and against a team that they know they can beat now, Manning will get the job done.

In the NFC, I don't really like the Bears but that's the problem, because I don't really like any of the teams. I think their biggest scare will come against The Seahawks and that team's last stand, but how can we be sold on the Saints? The defense is paper thin and while the offense has had a strong year, they have to go to windy and possibly snowy Chicago. Grossman might try to cost the Bears a trip to the Super Bowl, but they'll escape until they run into Manning, and then we'll see Peyton put on a show on the neautral field.

I absolutely LOVE the fact that nobody is taking Indy and NE serious.
