[Fillmoe]

The Broncos win 0 playoff games.

which will be matched by the colts

[TheSanityAnnex]

Chargers vs. Bears
With the Chargers being victorious and going on to win 3 bowls in the next five years.
Said it before the season started.

[stretch]

Baltimore over Philadelphia in the SB.

my original pre-season prediction was Philly over Baltimore, but i dont think the Eagles can beat Baltimore without Donovan McNabb.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Baltimore over the Saints.

Grossman and Rivers will make too many mistakes for their teams to advance.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Grossman and Rivers will make too many mistakes for their teams to advance.

Rivers- 22 Touchdowns/ 9 interceptions/ 92.0 QB rating
Grossman- 23 Touchdowns/ 20 interceptions/ 73.0 QB rating


Please, the two are not comparable.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Rivers- 22 Touchdowns/ 9 interceptions/ 92.0 QB rating
Grossman- 23 Touchdowns/ 20 interceptions/ 73.0 QB rating

I wasn't comparing the two, just stating my opinion.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I wasn't comparing the two, just stating my opinion.

You mentioned the two in the same sentence, and said they'd both fail in the same manner, to the casual observer, that would seem like a comparison.

[Pistons < Spurs]

#5 Jets@ #4 New England
#6 Chiefs@ #3 Indianapolis

Jets @ Chargers

Chiefs @ Chargers

Chiefs vs New Orleans

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

In the way their team will lose, yes, but not a comparison between the two.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Chiefs @ Chargers (Last time in SD 20-9)

[Pistons < Spurs]

and in week 7 the Chiefs beat the Chargers. So what.

[johngateswhiteley]

Baltimore over the Saints.

Grossman and Rivers will make too many mistakes for their teams to advance.

...i like the Saints in the SuperBowl as well. but this is my prediction:

Saints over Chargers! (probably other way around, but the Saints are my BOYS!)

[TheSanityAnnex]

and in week 7 the Chiefs beat the Chargers. So what.

In week seven the Chargers had 2 costly turnovers in the first quarter that cost them 14 points. They rallied back from 21 down and still almost won the game in Arrowhead. The Chiefs have no chance of beating the Chargers in San Diego.

And the Chargers didn't lose a single game after that.

[NBA Junkie]

at those who actually think that the Ravens will even get to and win the Super Bowl. Peyton may choke in the playoffs, but it will come against SD, not Baltimore. I'd like the Ravens chances more if McNair and Jamal Lewis were not reaching over the hill status.

Sanity's on the money with the Bears and Chargers.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Let's take a brief look at some of the Ravens oh so impressive wins....



The Ravens struggled with the Browns twice, the Bills, the ans and the Bengals. Three wins - one over the Browns, one over the ans, and one over the Chargers - were gifts handed to them by the other team, pure luck.

The Ravens lost to the Donkeys.
The Ravens lost to the Carolina Panthers - a team the Steelers wiped out.
The Ravens managed seven points and found a way to lose to the Bungles.

Baltimore was lucky far more than good. The old geezers - McNair, Rayray, Ogden, Rolle, Lewis, and Mason all will have to stay healthy for this team to have a shot. That, and an insane amount of luck. In other words, its not gonna happen.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

You can do the same thing with every team in the playoffs and it means absolutely nothing. I've had enough SOS and margin of victory talk in the CFB Forum.

I like Baltimore for one reason: the experience McNair has over Rivers, who has been inconsistent down the stretch.

Rivers has been great this year but even you have to admit, Sanity, no one has any idea how he is going to perform under the hot lights of the big stage.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Rivers has been great this year but even you have to admit, Sanity, no one has any idea how he is going to perform under the hot lights of the big stage.

All I can go off of are his college days when he was in Bowl games. Pretty impressive stats in every single big game he played. But you are right, I've got nothing NFL wise to go off.

As an aside, did Rivers just break the record for a first years starters wins?

[MajorMike]

Isn't that list erroeous? I thought they the lower seeded team will always play the highest seeded team. Therefore, if the Giants were to win, they would play @ Chicago... am I not correct in this?

I don't know if anyone even picked NYG to win, but saying "winner of NYG/PHI@ #2 New Orleans" isn't correct.

I do see where P<S picked the Chefs to win @ Balt. The Chefs wouldn't play @ Balt, they would play @ SD, which wouldn't effect his outcome because he picked them to win that anyway.

McNair gets his ring as New Orleans comes up just short.

That's what I thought too; the NHL reseeds after each round of the playoffs also; wish the NBA would too
The NFC is too bi-polar to call this year--whoever's in their manic phase on game day wins

rivers hasn't been playing stellar lately. if he continues that they are gonna have problems in the 2nd round and on.
