Don't Sleep on The Seattle Seahawks. They went to the Superbowl last year, and this year could be the same in the poor NFC. Matt Hasselbeck hasn't been himself, but he can still play well. Shaun Alexander can run all over the Cowboys, and they do have better than average defense. The Bears have great defense, but Rex Grossman is always the X-Factor, and he is very inconsistent. The Saints do have a lot of young and inexperienced players on their roster. Many people have forgotten them out in the quiet NFC West, but they could make some noise and bounce back into the Super Bowl. If I had to pick on team from the NFC to make the Superbowl, right now I'd pick the Seahawks.
Don't sleep on the Jets. The Pats are playing them, they beat us this year, and honestly, I am not confident. Mangini has that team playing as good as anyone, and Belichick is really going to need to pull something crazy out of his ass to make sure he takes this one. Mangini knows the Pats inside out because he was with us last year, thats why the Jets scare me the most.
Hmm... I'd be really careful about teams like the Jets, the Eagles, and even the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Giants. In single elimination, anything can happen... these aren't bad teams, in my opinion.

With that horrible of a run defense, one of the best rushing teams in the league come to them in the first round. Larry Johnson should be able to have a field day against this defense.
I'm going with the Eagles. Westbrook is the best WEAPON in the NFC, not neccessarily the best RB, but the best weapon. Their D is good, BDawk is just awesome. Trent Cole is coming on and Darren Howard is doing his thing.
Nobody is sleeping on the Eagles, Saints, or the Cowboys. They have gotten plenty of attention and everybody knows they are legit contenders. My sleeper team are the Kansas City Chiefs. They will roll past the Colts unless somehow they can stop the run, which I doubt will happen against a top rusher in Larry Johnson. Then they play Baltimore I am pretty sure, which will definitely be tough because of their defense, so they might be able to pull it off, but I don't see it happening.The only other possible sleeper I see is Seattle if they can pull it together and play like the team they were last year.
Dont sleep on the Giants. They have the talent to win the super bowl, if they could piece it all together it may work this year as a cinderella...but I doubt it.All in all, Eli and Tiki would have to be amazing on offense, and the defense would obviously have to elevate their game...and some luck...but the Giants can defiently take down Philly on Sunday.

Also our defense has way too many questionmarks and players out due to injury to make it that far. I agree we can take down Philadelphia, but I don't know how much farther we can get.

Eli pretty much sucks, but he's had some good games, so he has hope.
The Cowboys are my sleeper because 1 I'm a Cowboys fan and 2 they have been in so many unlucky situations. I see the game coming down to if The Cowboys Defense can be consistant in stoping the offenses drive forcing them to punt
