The only person with Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.

The Detroit Lions will, in fact, make the playoffs out of a weak-ass NFC North.

Save that for posterity, fuckers!

First person with a nod to the Cards.

Will this trump my Jags-Vikings Super Bowl pick? Ugh. There's a reason I never bet on sports.

Notes:

I'm not sold on the G-men because of Osi's injury. If the defense holds up, the G-men make it.

I think the Texans will sneak up on people this year

Someone has to win the NFC West, might as well be the Cards.

I think the injuries to P. Manning and Brady are a little more serious, which is why their teams will be the third and fourth seeds. That, and the fact that the Steelers have the easiest division schedule in recent memory.

Playoffs

Patriots beat Texans
Colts beat Broncos
Colts beat Chargers
Steelers beat Patriots
Colts beat Steelers

Eagles beat Cardinals
Packers beat Buccaneers
Cowboys beat Eagles
Packers beat Saints
Cowboys beat Packers

Colts 37, Cowboys 34 OT

Actually I was the first with the Cards in the playoffs and I'd bet the only one with a Cards-Philly playoff matchup.

Didn't get the round or winner right, but I said the two teams would play.

Yeah, I just wanted Palli to feel a little good because of a Yinzer.

Am I the only one here who thinks the Cowboys are way overrated? Their major offseason pickup was a guy who hasn't played in more than a year and if I remember correctly was known more for his special team play than his play at corner in Tennessee before the suspension. They have exactly one wideout and he is 35 and is a ticking time bomb and one pro bowl tightend. Their ground game is in the hands of a rookie and a guy who is mainly a fourth quarter threat (albeit a major fourth quarter threat, but has never had to be THE guy before). And Their QB has won exactly nothing in the playoffs.
I think they'll be good, may even scrape into the playoffs, but I look at 10-6, maybe 9-7 as a best case scenario. They are far from Super Bowl contenders or even being the most rounded team in the NFC.
Personally I like the Saints, the Giants (depending on which Eli we get), and the Vikings better. Hell if the Cardinals could get their act together I'd even throw them into that conversation to atleast be as good as the Cowboys, but they'll find someway to go 6-10 or 7-9 because they are the Cardinals.

oh and the packers are going to struggle.

Just my 2 cents

Fair enough. Seattle can't win every year, and the Rams and Niners aren't up to the task. Might as well be Arizona.

Looking back on my posts, guess I was a little off.

Oh come on, I knew the potential was there, but the Cub fan in me took over and I couldn't help but expect a typical collapse or clusterfuck.

I will never bet on Romo/Phillips going to the Super Bowl ever again. What the fuck was I thinking?
Chargers pick wasn't that bad, I didn't count on LT becoming a corpse.
