I might change a few scores, but this sounds pretty plausible to me. I'd pick it the same way. :up
 
I'll take:

NYJ over CIN
DAL over PHI (despite a rematch of last week, DAL is clearly firing on all cylinders now)
NE over BAL
GB over ARI (GB has the momentum and Warner is sack-shy, kinda like Jim Zorn was near the end of his QB career).

Those are my picks for this weekend.
 
My picks... and appropriate hedging statements

Jets - It's theirs to lose, if they have to rely on Sanchez, they likely wont. If they go down early will be tough for them to come back
Packers - Cardinals are so banged up, hard to pick them
Cowboys - Will have to find a new and creative way to lose this one with the way the team is playing
Patriots - Ravens (specifically Ray Rice with the entire team on his back) have been pretty good, but Patriots are so tough at home

Ya, I think I would have left Vick in for a few series with how bad McNabb was playing, actually the offense was, not only McNabb
 
Round 2

My Picks:

New Orleans over Arizona (unless Ariz.'s D shows up, but I don't see that happening with Brees back there).

Minnesota over Dallas ..... upset special, Run AP Run :):):) , also I dislike Dallas :)

San Diego over the NY Jets, Jets, Jets .... Sorry NY, but your up with the Big Boys now.

Indy over Baltimore , possibly a shootout ? maybe not ? Baltimore's D is good, but not as good as previous seasons and Peyton can move the ball on anybody if he has time.
 
Cardinals over Saints - No team has gone 0-3 going into the playoffs and won the Super Bowl, the Saints march will stop here.
Dallas over Vikings - Hottest team in the NFC will continue to roll
Chargers over Jets - Hottest team in the AFC will continue to roll, but this should be a good game. I think the Chargers get a lead and force the Jets to rely on Sanchez to make plays, and then the rookie will look like one.
Ravens over Colts - The Colts let up off the gas to end the season and it will show, the youth of the team won't look like it did when it was in mid-season form.

Only team who just had a bye that I expect to win is the Chargers.

This means the AFC/NFC championship will be:

Ravens @ Chargers
Cardinals @ Dallas

...and I'd pick both home teams there, with the Chargers over the Cowboys in a pretty good Super Bowl
 

Olympic training's not all it's cracked up to be!

Buffalo Bills hire Chan Gailey as Head Coach
