[Mets82]

I guess you could call this a Playoff thread because I just found out the times of the playoff games. Bob Costas just announced it

Next Sat.

Atlanta at. Arizona 4:30 pm
Indy. at. Den./San Diego 8 pm

Next Sun.

Baltimore at. Miami 1pm
Philly at. Minnesota 4:30 pm

Sat. Jan. 10

The lowest seed left at. Tennessee 12:30 pm
The Highest seed left at. Carolina 4 pm

Sun. Jan. 11

The lowest seed left at. Ny Giants 1 pm
The Highest seed left at. Pittsburgh 4:30 pm

I should be right on the times but feel free to correct me. I'm doing this from memory but this should be right. Feel free to correct if need be.

Just one minor correction:

The Sat., Jan. 10 games start at 4:30 and 8:00.

 

[Mets82]

I'm sorry about that. Thank you for the correction. I'm thinking of the old system.

 

[CeltsHD]

My predictions:

NFC:

Atlanta over Arizona
Philly over Minnesota

Giants over Philly
Carolina over Atlanta

Carolina over Giants (just a hunch)


AFC:

San Diego over Indy
Baltimore over Miami

Baltimore over Tennessee
Pittsburgh over San Diego

Pittsburgh over Baltimore


Super Bowl:

Pittsburgh over Carolina (of course, Roethlisberger's health is key)

[IcEWoLF]

My prediction:

San Diego wins vs Colts
Baltimore tears Miami apart
Atlanta beats the lucky Cardinals
Philadelphia runs over the Vikings

 

[SabresRule]

My predictions

Arizona beats Atlanta in a shootout (Atlanta, defensively, isn't exactly the Ravens or Steelers)

San Diego beats the Colts (Chargers have given Manning lots of fits)

Ravens edge the Dolphins (Baltimore has experience, but their offense isn't super-charged)

Vikings beat the Eagles (Adrian Peterson is a BEAST; I don't think the Eagles are all that and a bag of chips)

Merged dups...

Ravens edge the Dolphins (Baltimore has experience, but their offense isn't super-charged)

Vikings beat the Eagles (Adrian Peterson is a BEAST; I don't think the Eagles are all that and a bag of chips)

All good points.

I think all four of these games could go either way.

IMO, Indy-SD and Philly-Minny are the marquee games of the weekend.

I SOMEWHAT agree, because I think the Ravens/Dolphins game will be alot closer than people think....

I know SD did well the last two weeks but is there any team playing better right now than the Colts?

Colts over SD
Atlanta over Arizona
Miami over Baltimore
Philly over the Vikes

Colts over SD
Atlanta over Arizona
Miami over Baltimore
Philly over the Vikes

Colts beat the Bolts by 3 when they were both struggling. Bolts have the Colts number over the last few games.

Colts over SD
Atlanta over Arizona
Miami over Baltimore
Philly over the Vikes

I too am thinking that the Colts may be the ones that people should look out for, they have turned things around quite nicely...
Is Bob Sanders still healthy ?
Hows Dwight Freeney ?

Am I the only one that would love to see a Miami - Atlanta Super Bowl? Is the irony of arguably the two worst teams of the 2007 season meeting in this season's SB lost on everyone?
