Here are some early Vegas odds... San Diego Chargers 5-2 Baltimore Ravens 4-1 Chicago Bears 9-2 New Orleans Saints 6-1 Indianapolis Colts 8-1 New England Patriots 9-1 Philadelphia Eagles 12-1 Seattle Seahawks 20-1 Dallas Cowboys 25-1 New York Giants 40-1 Kansas City Chiefs 50-1 New York Jets 50-1 My personal picks: Baltimore Ravens (defense!) New Orleans Saints (offense!) San Diego Chargers (LT awesome..secondary weak..Rivers lacks experience) Philadelphia Eagles (on a roll) Chicago Bears (Rex Grossman is a big ?) Indianapolis Colts (late season collapse) New England Patriots (always scary with head coach and experience) Seattle Seahawks (this is not last year's team) Kansas City Chiefs (may get one win but that's all) New York Jets (should be early exit) New York Giants (Hey ELI...this ain't Ole Miss) Dallas Cowboys (WTF?...3 straight bad home losses..Romo has been figured out) (goodbye T.O.---please don't ever sign with N.O.)
My picks: 1. Baltimore Ravens 2. New Orleans Saints 3. San Diego Chargers 4. Philadelphia Eagles 5. New England Patriots 6. Indianapolis Colts 7. Seattle Seahawks 8. Chicago Bears 9. Kansas City Chiefs 10. Dallas Cowboys 11. New York Jets 12. New York Giants
mine are close 1. ravens 2. chargers (10 wins in a row playing in the afc and rivers is legit) 3. new england ( defense rolling and brady is the best in the postseason) 4. saints (bye week is a killer) 5. phili (momentum) 6. da bears 7. da colts 8. seahawks (hasselbeck was mvp'ish in superbowl but they havent beaten a playoff team since week 3) 9. dallas (TO virus) 10. Giants (they can surprise on tikis last hurrah) 11. Jets ( i dont believe) 12. KC (terrible on the road yet could surprise if they get past indi) ravens are a terrible matchup for the saints. Phili could very well lose to the giants in spite of the hype. seahawks/dallas winner could advance to the superbowl with a little help. ill predict balt/NE for AFC Champ, Saints/Seattle for NFC champ. superbowl--New England/Seattle while the pats add another ring even though I cant name 3 wrs from there team. brown, caldwell and?
tirk, you're ahead of everyone on naming 2 receivers on the pats....most can only name Brown, and usually that's prefaced with "I'm not even sure if he is still playing in the NFL"
1. New Orleans Saints 2. San Diego Chargers 3. Baltimore Ravens 4. New York Jets 5. Philadelphia Eagles 6. Kansas City Chiefs 7. New England Patriots 8. Seattle Seahawks 9. Chicago Bears 10. Indianapolis Colts 11. Dallas Cowboys 12. New York Giants
Crip, your list was credible until we got to #4. Come on, dude. That team is god awful and will be one and done.
With Kansas City and Dallas now eliminated, the odds have slightly changed. San Diego Chargers 11-4 Baltimore Ravens 4-1 Chicago Bears 5-1 New Orleans Saints 6-1 Indianapolis Colts 7-1 New England Patriots 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles 12-1 Seattle Seahawks 18-1 New York Giants 40-1 New York Jets 40-1 I'll stick with my previous picks... Baltimore New Orleans San Diego Philadelphia Chicago Indianapolis New England Seattle Kansas City New York Jets New York Giants Dallas
They had em going there for awhile. But just like a sweater tug to hard and one little ole string and the whole thing falls apart
