You got all that right except the part about Green Bay winning against Vick (or the Eagles) and Pittsburgh losing anything.

I think they can take Vick, there have been a couple of teams who have been able to keep him in check. As for the Eagles without T.O. they're greatly hurt. They don't have any go to recievers that they can count on. Pittsburgh will loose because of the Colts dynamic offense, although they have a great defense the Colts will come out on top. I think steady Rothlesburger will succumb to the pressure of the AFC Championship game. But thats just my opinion

I'm glad my Vikings made it to the playoffs - on the work of other teams, no less. But at 8-8? How can that be a wild card team? Too bad they have to go to Green Bay and play. Slim to none chance they will win that one.

After watching the Steelers/Bills game yesterday, when most of the time Pittsburgh had less than 5 starting players on the field at any one time, I'm sure not betting against them. As for Big Ben, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell pressure! He just seems to be having all the fun in the world out there. Steelers are my pick for Super Bowl winners!

I expect a Steelers-Eagles Super Bowl, with a Steelers win--sorry to say, being an Eagles fan.

Ping is right about the Eagles not having the go-to receivers to take it all the way, but they have enough to win the NFC--finally.

Well I think Seattle will beat the Rams and the the Pack could challenge the Eagles without T.O., but I think the Eagles will still come out of the NFC and get stomped by either the Pats or Steelers. It's hard to go against 15-1, playing at home, but I'll take the Pats to repeat. Oh & Vick is amazing but the Falcons are easily the most over-rated team in the playoffs. They scored 3 more points than they gave up, for crying out loud....and the Lions beat them handily... need I say more

I was watching CNN 1st hour in school today and on the ticker it said "The Denver Broncos defeated the Colts "B" team yesterday. Next weekend they will face the Colt's "A" team with Payton Manning"

Nice school there, Allen89! When's the test on CNN?

I'll give you an A for ticker smarts.

Ah, but the exam will probably be what was on the rest of the screen. Not the sports headlines on the ticker.

I don't care who wins, as long as the Rams and the Patriots don't.

I may as well throw mine out there too...

NFC Wild Card Games:
St Louis over Seattle
Green Bay over Minnesota

AFC Wild Card picks:
New York over San Diego
Indianapolis defeats Denver

NFC Divisional:
Atlanta over Green Bay
Philadelphia over St. Louis

AFC Divisional:
Pittsburgh over New York
New England over Indianapolis

NFC Championship:
Philadelphia (finally) over Atlanta

AFC Championship:
New England over Pittsburgh

Super Bowl XXXIX:
Philadelphia over New England

The Eagles will finally get it done IMO...and I think it will be over the Patriots, who will knock off Big Ben and the Steelers an AFC Title Game classic. The NFC is a joke, if the Eagles don't win they should be banned from the playoffs for a few years as punishment. I'm rooting for an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl like valeogut said, but I just see the Steelers coming up short. *looks over shoulder to make sure no rabid local Steelers fans can see me writing this*

Isn't that the way it always is? The stuff I think is important is never on the test!

Wow. That was an exciting game between the Rams and the Seahawks. I am not a fan of either team but I really felt for the Seahawks there. Hasselbeck put the ball right in Engram's hands for the tying touchdown but he couldn't hold on. It was a tough catch but he could have caught it. I hope this is just a sign of some exciting things to come.
