Just an FYI for the north of the border NFL fan...wild card teams can not host a division winner in a playoff game, so games would be at SD and ATL

Superbowl:
New England at Philadelphia (PHI 41-38)
MVP: Donovan McNabb

Bet on it.

I'll bet that the Superbowl is in Jacksonville, not Philadelphia, and I'll win.

OK, so I totally overlooked that one. But my picks still stay the same.

I'll bet that the Superbowl is in Jacksonville, not Philadelphia, and I'll win.

I know that the SB is in Jacksonville. I meant that Philly would be the "home" team for the game. I'm not THAT dense.

Dave and Headache ... you are not seriously suggesting the Viqueens will actually win the division, are you?

 

[popacrobat]

superbowl?

panthers vs dolphins

 

[Theedge555]

superbowl?

panthers vs dolphins

I was thinking

Rams vs Chiefs.........

Dave and Headache ... you are not seriously suggesting the Viqueens will actually win the division, are you?

frankly there no team should win that division... the viking got their by default because they had the better record... the lions got in by default because the NFC is horrific and SOMEBODY has to be the 6th team.

 

[DaveC]

Exactly.

 

[DaveC]

wow...all my picks are still alive. a couple of the W-L records are all but done by now, but the only pick that's there that's definitely scrod for a playoff spot is Detroit.

so, i will change my prediction on Detroit to Green Bay. that makes the playoffs then look like this:

Wild Card Week:
AFC
Game 1: Denver at Indianapolis (IND 38-21)
Game 2: San Diego at NY Jets (NYJ 27-10)

NFC
Game 1: Atlanta at NY Giants (NYG 17-13)
Game 2: Detroit at Seattle (DET 21-7)

Divisional Week:
AFC
Game 1: NY Jets at New England (NE 38-17)
Game 2: Indianapolis at Pittsburgh (PIT 24-21)

NFC
Game 1: Green Bay at Philadelphia (PHI 34-10)
Game 2: NY Giants at Minnesota (NYG 10-7)

Championship Week:
AFC: Pittsburgh at New England (NE 17-14)
NFC: NY Giants at Philadelphia (PHI 31-21)

Superbowl:
New England - Philadelphia (PHI 41-38)
MVP: Donovan McNabb

Bet on it.
