I see Brett Favre as analogous to Andy Dufresne.

He crawled through a river of **** the past half-dozen years and, voila, he finally has a team again.

The receivers and front four are incredible... and young.

I'm rooting for Colts-Packers
 
Should have a choice for "Irrelevant," or at the very least, "bludgeoned in the Super Bowl."
 
I'd love to see the Packers take the crown, but I don't think they can keep up with Dallas.

I was thinking George Patton, Abraham Lincoln or Jesus Christ, myself [/johnmadden]
 
Packers are sentimental favorite amongst lots of people, but either Cowboys or Saints will meet New England or Colts in Super Bowl.
Love to see Saints host Favre and Pack in NFC finals.
Favre's following is big in the bayou areas of southern U.S.

Well... I put the Saints on the list... but they ain't hosting the Pack this year.
 
The Pack is 7-1, New Orleans 4-4. It would take a big swing for New Orleans to finish with a better record.

It's possible, but not probable.
 
The Saints really seem to have righted the ship recently. Not sure what the hell was wrong with them in the early going, but they finally look like the team of 2006 again.

One team I wouldn't write off completely is Seattle. They should win the West by default and host a first-round game. The Seahawks were my preseason pick to win the NFC and they really got into a rut for a while, but they have all the tools to win, esp. if they can get the running game going.

That being said, I have a tough time seeing any team other than the Cowboys playing in the Super Bowl for the NFC.

They've had half a season to get that running game going. It ain't going to happen. It's all going to rest on Hasselbeck.
 
The Packers have the best defense, the Giants second best. So I pick Green Bay. Remember the Broncos-49ers Super Bowl? We might see a record blowout this year. Both the Colts and Pats today looked like the varsity compared to Green Bay's freshman team.

I think the Giants are best equipped to play either team.

They have the pass rush, the OL, the star RB, TE and WR....

It would be closer than XXIV.
 
For all that believe the NFC champ will be stomped in the Super Bowl, weren't the Jets supposed to be stomped? Weren't the Rams supposed to annihilate the Patriots?

One thing to watch: Getting through the AFC playoffs could prove pretty draining.
 
I think it was Merril Hoge earlier this week discussing this very question... he said the Packers would have no chance of succeeding against the Giants front four...

Uh, the Packers already beat the Giants this year, 35-13, on the road...
