So all in all who do you think is going to pull out in the end? I can't really have enough time to respond to this so I'll respond in the morning.

***NFC***
Redskins 27 Bucs 24
Giants 31 Panthers 17

***AFC*** (I figure I should metion that the Jags are at the Patriots, not the other way around, because the Jags are a Wildcard Team)

Patriots 20 Jags 17
Pittsburgh 23 Cincy 18

If i'm correct i'll give next weeks predictions ^_^

Washington Redskins
New York Giants
New England Patriots
Cincinnati Bengals

Washington Redskins
New York Giants
Jacksonville Jaguars
Pittsburg Steelers

I got 1/2 of the picks right.

I had 3/4 of my picks right.

This week:
**AFC**

***Colts vs Pittsburgh***
Colts: 27
Steelers: 20

***Patriots vs Bronco's***
Patriots: 31

**NFC**

***Redskins vs Seahawks***

Honestly I don't see why everyone thinks Carolina has a chance I think it will be a close one but I think Bears will come out on top 24 21

Axis.. it's obvious the Pats are gonna win :-P You shouldn't even pretend the Broncs have a chance.

Pats played sloppy football against the Jacksonville Jaguars, something they can't afford to do this weekend against the Bronco's. They need to clean up their game or next week it's going to be 10-1 playoff record for Tom Brady, which will in fact happen.

The Carolina Panthers have been on a huge run lately, outscoring their past two opponents 67-11. The Chicago Bears, however, are doing good too, but I think that Carolina is going to out play them because of one key factor: Experience. The 4 starting Quarterbacks that started last week all started their first playoff game, and they lost (Although Palmer would've won that game for the Bengals if not the injury). This week will be no different. Delhomme has been to the Super Bowl before, and the Carolina Panthers know what it's going to take to get their. That's why I picked the way I did.

Well, that is all true, but I will still pull for the Bears.

How's it going SomebodyRandom :cool:

Yes, finally the Patriots super bowl raign is over.

As of now my Broncos and Seahawks picks are true, and it seems as if my Steelers pick will be true as well(Steelers 14-0 2nd Quarter) So now only the Bears left.

So far Carolina is beating Chicago. :cool:

Oh, that Pittsburgh game was a shock.

Ah, not for me. I figured Pittsburg would win it. And Carolina game, man that sucks. Now I don't know who I want to go for. I do think Pittsburg will go on to win the Superbowl though.

Seahawks
Steelers

****.. i'm from the Pittsburgh area and I couldn't believe Pittsburgh won. I didn't believe in them one bit. And the only reason why the Bronco's won was because the Patriots had 5 turnovers. If the Steelers don't turn the ball over, it'll be a Steeler victory.

Panthers-Steelers

Denver Broncos
Seattle Seahawks

Pittsburg won...

Seattle is winning 20- 7 at half....\


So, of course I stick with my Super Bowl picks...
Steelers
Seahawks.

But who is gonna take it? Steelers or Seahawks?

I'm going with Steelers. They've been trouncing teams all throughout the playoffs. They didn't do TOO great during the regular season, but once they got into the playoffs, they hauled it up, hardcore.

I'm undecided at the moment.

Seattle I think will take the superbowl.

I'm going with an overtime superbowl... with the Seahawks winning a close one.

It's going to be close up until the 4th where Seattle will be dominated by the pass game to Cedric Wilson, Hines Ward, and Plexi Glass oh yeah he's not the so Randle EL. 17 - 24 Pittsburgh wins and Shaun Alexander runs for under 100 yards. Bettis and back up share 150 yards. Big Ben 110 passing rating with 2 td's. Joey Porter stops S.A. all day. Then Troy is going to pick Matt twice. Matt will pass to Joe for a td. Mack will run one td in. There's my prediction.

I highly doubt that will happen, its definetally going to be a close game, and so far it is. I still am going with Seattle because they are doing well at keeping the Steelers from running and passing.

Secondly that run by Ben Rothlesberger for a TD was a complete joke, he never even got the ball over the line, that was trully a bull **** call by the refs to let that play go after the review.

I did a good job haha. 21 - 10 I had 17 - 14. Shaun ran under 100. Willie and the Bus ran for 136. Big Ben didn't get his 110 but got 2 td's. So yeah. Steelers beat them.
