While the Seahawks are an impressive young team to make it to the SB they will have to win two more games on the road, Atlanta and either SF or GB, the odds on that are long.
I did not pick them in my private picks.
I just would have liked to see them in GB for the NFC championship game.
As would any Packer fan.
There is a difference between wishin' and putin' down the cash (so to speak).
I think Atlanta is getting dissed big time.
I also thought GB could beat San Fran.
My "money picks were Denver, San Fran, NE and Atlanta (though that is the tightest game to call.
My formula is based on PF & PA averaged over all the games.
+ 1 point for home field.
I had;
Denver by 7 (wrong)
San Fran by 2 (wrong)
NE by 7
Atlanta by .5
I still am a Packer fan.
I mean we have 13 World Championships, 4 SB's, why some teams barely have any.
I HATE the Dirty Birds and the Seahawks are my 2nd most Favo Team!, but I think the Crows get it done this Play-off season and win twice @ home and lose to Denver in the Superbowl.
This weekend; Broncos and Pats are both favored by 9 points, 49ers by 3 and Falcons by 2.5 points. If I were to bet the games, I'd take the dogs with the points. Though I think the Broncos, Pats, 49ers and Falcons will win. Would love to see an upset by the Seahawks.
This is not a rebuttle or criticism, simply a statement combining recent events:
momenteum of teams & individuals and coaching prowess ...
So, not a pundit, not a prognosticator or a Friday or Saturday QB, basic factors -
"home field advantage" & players returning to areas where they started their
career, composure, confidence, execution by key players ... in some ways ...
defines the "chill factor" may well define this weekend's games.
Yes, after this weekend, the picture/trend will be expected or a surprise ...
Kinda like a seasoned F.T. judge facing a laundry list of retrievers and
handlers ... some "steady good" ... some prone to old failures ..
I am and always will be a diehard Seahawks fan. That said I do follow the team and unfortunately the loss of Clemmons could really make beating the dirty birds tough. He is a big reason their defense is one of the best in the NFL. if some others can step it up and pick up the pass rushing slack they might win otherwise it could be very tough.
Broncos have their hands full with some questionable officiating...that and Champ Bailey being exposed as "THE Lock down CB"....Manning is showing MVP stuff...lots of game left
With 8 Defensive Backs, how the heck does Denver allow LSU's Jacoby Jones beat them on deep route for the tie! If it wasn't for Trindon Holliday, Denver wouldn't even be in the game.
Ed, I will eat crow on this one.When I walked out of the stadium FREEZING MY A** OFF,the feeling I had was winning a trial and missing the last bird in the 4th by Inches. VERY SAD DAY IN BRONCO LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You say he's average, but he's got a 7-4 record in the playoffs and just outplayed Manning after outplaying Brady last year. One dropped pass away from the SB last year.
Flacco is definitley an upper tier QB, even before today's game. He played huge against the Broncos, was on the money with his passes, played clutch and made a solid Bronco's D look ordinary.
Yes, that's what an invisible defense looks like in print. Their linebackers "led" by the ever-invisible A.J. (The Great White Hoax) Hawk never showed up. Capers had it all planned out for Kaepernick, a revolutionary 4-0-4 defense that let him run for the most yards for a quarterback in NFL history. Never been so embarrassed as a Packer backer - and with Green Bay's alleged defense the last few years, that's an awful lot of embarrassment to take into consideration.
An East coast vs West coast, Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Super Bowl? Wouldn't the reporters love that, and wear us out with endless story lines.
