<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (J-E-T-S 1083)</div><div class='quotemain'>yea when you lose your starting qb, the best qb in the league last year, you arent gonna win that game. and i dont recall the Bengals winning 14 games last year or their running back scoring 31 TDs, OR their defense being one of the best in the league. So the Chargers have a young QB, if he doesnt play well which probably wont be a big issue, they have LT who can just keep scoring. THey are the most complete team in the league.</div> I hope you know they have the worst red zone defense, so... COMPLETE IT IS!!!

Yes, the Dallas loss in Detroit was embarrassing, despite the fact that Detroit has lost a lot of close games and should have a little bit better record. However, you do realize that Seattle has also lost 3 out of the last 4 including to teams like SF and Arizona? You do realize that they will be missing 3 or all 4 of their secondary. They also have several receivers that are questionable or doubtful. This is a coin flip, as most odds-makers suggest. 1 - KC over Indy, NE over NYJ, Dallas over Seattle, Philly over NYG 2 - SD over KC, Balt over NE, Chicago over Dallas, NO over Philly 3 - SD over Balt, NO over Chicago 4 - SD over NO

The Cowboys have had the worst defense in the league since Thanksgiving. They've given up an average of 412 yards a game since then. As a Cowboys fan, my heart is definitely with them. My mind is telling me otherwise and I pick with my mind. I cheer with my heart. Here's what my mind says about the playoffs... Wild Card: Seattle over Dallas, Philly over NYG, New England over Jets, KC over Indy Divisional: NO over Philly, Chicago over Seattle, SD over KC, Balt over NE Conference: Balt over SD, NO over Chicago Super Bowl: Balt over NO MVP: Ed Reed

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BoltPride)</div><div class='quotemain'>I had a dream about the playoffs last night, and about the Super Bowl. This is what happened: Chargers-33 Bears-27 The game goes into triple overtime, and due to costy penalties, the Chargers are faced with a critical 4th and 45 situation at their own goal line...They can't kick the ball away because their punter got injured when he attempted to tackle Devin Hester on a 99 yard punt return, so the Chargers are forced to try and convert what seems like an impossible scenario...As Rivers takes the snap though, Urlacher manages to break through 3 blockers, and delivers a punishing blindside hit...The impact of such a devasting tackle de-cleats Rivers, and his seemingly lifeless body gets propelled to the back of the endzone in what appears to be a sack and safety for the Bears, ensuring their Super Bowl victory.......However in the split nanosecond before Philip's back is slammed violently to the turf, he somehow musters up the last bits of energy and willpower left inside him, in order to lateral the ball out to LaDainian Tomlinson...But the ball actually sails way over LT's head, and Tomlinson is forced to do a leaping-somersault dive to the back corner of the endzone, where he stands tip-toed on one leg,and stretches himself out to reach over the pylon in order to one-handedly catch the football with just his fingertips, before it falls out of bounds..LT can't re-balance himself, and defenders are swarming in..There is no way Tomlinson can juke his way out of this situation, and a Bears victory appears to be 100% assured at this point...But in the nanosecond before LT falls out of bounds, he cocks back his arm and blindly launches the ball downfield as far as possible, barely throwing it over the jumping Bear's defenders who attempted to knock it down..The football somehow manages to be thrown with such velocity and precision, that it rockets downfield 40 yards in a perfect spiral in the exact spot where Antonio Gates was running his route...Gates is well defended, but he jumps 40 inches off the ground, spinning 360 degrees in the sky, in order to make a 1 handed snag in mid-air between two defenders...As the crowd erupts, witnessing what is undoubtedly the most insane thing ever seen by the human eye, Antonio runs as fast as he can down the sidelines, yet he starts to slip due to the wet and muddy field..(I forgot to mention this, but the entire game was played in hurricane like conditions..)This slows things down, and allows time for 3 defenders to jump on top of Gates trying to bring him down...Yet for some unexplainable reason he refuses to be tackled, and actually drags them with him as he wills himself downfield...By this time he is moving so slowly due to all the extra weight, yet still not giving up and allowing himself to be brought down, that 2 more Bears defenders ruthlessely jump on his back, tearing away at his jersey, and yanking his helmet off...Gates finally appears to be beaten..His knees buckle, and his body twists back as he begins to fall down..Bears fans in the stadium breathe a sigh of relief as they assume that everything that just occured was some sort of freak accident, and they will still win the game....But then all of a sudden, out of nowhere #21-LaDainian Tomlinson, has sprinted all the way downfield like a speeding bullet..(In the post game show John Madden classifies it as the most outstanding display of athleticism in the history of mankind)..Right before Antonio's knees are forced to the ground, he pitches the ball back to LT, who catches it and runs full steam to the endzone...The crowd noise is now deafening as every single person in the stadium is going apeshit, but for some reason 2 Bears defenders are still guarding the goal line...LT does not seem to care however, and rather does an aerobatic leap from the 10 yard line,( as he is airborne his body forms the exact logo on pair of Air Jordan's) while both defenders jump up to collide with him in mid air...Upon impact, Tomlinson's visor shatters into a million pieces, and his body is spun around and helicopters about 5 times...Yet he maintains forward momentum, and just before he falls back to earth, he stretches out his arm holding the football, and when he lands the tip of the ball manages to just cross the goal line.(Immediately after the game, scientists from all over the world conduct a series of tests to try and find out how LT was able to defy every scientific law regarding physics and gravity, yet they have no definitive answer other than it was some sort of God like display of superhuman skill.) It goes down as the best Super Bowl ever.</div> Good God man, lay off the Peyote. If you have that much time, maybe you should write books.

I have a quiet feeling in the back of my gut (it's a large gut btw) that the Colts are going to show up and lay into KC just when we're all expecting them to falter. They did it a few weeks ago in their matchup with Cincy. If Peyton gets them out to an early lead then look for the return of Bob Sanders to really make a difference and the Colts to pull out a victory.

For those who pick Kansas City.. Any Comment? Did you know how much Las Vegas Banked that game. Kansas didnt even get a 1st down 1st half.

I think no matter what the outcome, they will not go beyond round 2. If you are betting on Indy to beat any of the three top AFC teams, then I wish you luck. Indy proved me wrong on Wild Card Week. I'm so glad I didn't bet. It's also worth pointing out that Indy was seeded higher than KC, and actually has more at stake then anyone else at this point.
