I think the Indy/Pittsburgh game comes down to if the Steelers can outtough and intimidate the Colts. The Colts are a finesse offense and their defense is quick but undersized. a few blows to the chops and I think they fold.

Indy is every bit as tough as Pittsburgh; the Steelers don't stand a chance in this game. And their defense is better, too.

The Redskins just won't be able to keep up with the Seahawks, in another gay dome game.

Not a dome.

New England/Denver should be classic. Two great coaches. Jake the Snake will throw three interceptions ~ he's never been in the playoffs.

I think you left a word out, b/c Plummer has indeed been in the playoffs (1998, 2003, 2004), he's just never been successful. But this year saw a whole new Plummer. The guy was awesome. We'll see how he fares against Belichick's scheming, but yeah, it should be the best/most evenly matched game of the weekend.

now that you've pointed out my myriad errors, I can safely use this as a defense when all my picks are wrong

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Good, because you picked against the Panthers.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

KC or Carolina! Can't have both!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

HEY:

Chiefs #1
Panthers #2
anyone playing the Broncos #3
anyone playing the Raiders #4
the rest

Now I'm rooting for Chicago.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Someone better call Vegas with this stunning new development.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Die!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

The...?

I've gotta say, Steve Smith is fucking amazing.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

he still wont score a td though.

Ah but unless Chicago scores a Defensive TD, they may not score one either.

 

[lizard]

yeah, but Grossman is a hella improvement on that other guy.

 

[lizard]

you know what I'm really getting sick of...all of this "we don't get any respect" shit.

You're right, no question about it - but that Carolina D is as underrated as any in the league. When they turn it on they are downright dominant.

Agreed. In New England's case, it's hard to take Brady seriously when he says that. I haven't heard one person talking playoff football this year that HASN'T given the Patriots their due.

 

[lizard]

Brady meant that this year nobody was giving New England credit for still making the playoffs after using 45 different starters...but it just sounded so stupid.

in further sports news...is there nothing Gene Simmons won't whore for?

Nope. That's why he's worth like 50,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. He may be one of the world's biggest pricks, but he's one of the smartest biggest pricks as well.

 

[lizard]

I agree he's a smart marketer...Kiss is all about marketing. And as a bass player, he's a helluva businessman. But for god's sake man...have some pride.

people forget about Thomas Jones. He had over 1300 yards rushing this year.
Bears will do just fine on the O
