    ...^^^love to see the Steelers upend the Pats...but NE is so tough at home...as far as GB, they may very well be the hottest team at the most opportune time.

    I'm going with the home teams. Ben's poor road stats are a thing and Green Bay's receiving corp is a mash unit and they're in trouble if Adams has to miss the game.

    ...yeah, the WRs are dinged up (Nelson has sore ribs and Adams has a balky ankle) ...but as of now both will play Sunday. How ell they'll play remains to be seen. Adams says he's had worse sprained ankles than this one and depending on how tender it is a game time, I gotta believe that GB will design plays/pass routes for Adams that not require him to make his cuts on his sore ankle...just my 2 cents.

    ...but regardless, it should be a wide open and high scoring and very entertaining game...Pats/Steelers should be a good one too. In both games it could come down to who has the ball last.

    I think Adams has a shot and will likely give it a go. How many snaps he takes or if he ends up out of the game completely would be the issue. Jordy on the other hand I don't see anyway he plays this week. His shot would be if they advance to the SB and he gets another two weeks off. I can't imagine him coming back from broken ribs in two weeks. It's one thing to run around a bit and catch some passes in practice. It's another thing to face the reality of having to take real hits and the possibility of somebody falling on top of you. They have Cook, Monty and Cobb and obviously Rodgers so they're not weaponless. To me it's just a matter of what they're going up against. Ryan has been every bit as good as Rodgers, he's at home and all the Falcon weapons look like they will be a go. In a shootout I think I'd take Atlanta over a limited Green Bay offense.

    ...yeah, 2 more weeks would definitely help Nelson but they have to get there first...he says he's made a lot of progress this week and is now breathing normally but will be a game time decision. They have not categorically ruled him out for this weekend and the team says it will depend on the trainers ability to fit him with a flack jacket or something, and how much that might hinder him, and of course Nelson's pain threshold.


    ...not sure which of the 2 games I'm looking forward to the most. And yeah, Atlanta/GB should be a shootout...but you know how that goes sometimes...watch it end up being 13-10 game.

    Wow I can't believe Green Bay didn't even show up. Another Blowout 44-15 4th Quarter.

    ^^^total domination by Atlanta from the start...and their defense has gradually gotten better as the year went on. A lot of the points they gave up were after they had already beaten up the opposition and took their foot off the gas.

    ...Atlanta's running game ain't too shabby either.

    Regardless of the opponent I'm going with Atlanta in the Super Bowl. I think that offense is too much to stop and their defense has improved.

    Looks like the Steelers are going to lay an egg. Haven't been able to stop pretty boy Brady so far. I'm with you Vic, If the Steelers lose I want Atlanta to win it.

    I don't like them but you have to hand it to the Patriots. They're an absolute machine. Brady and Belichick rewriting the history books.

    ^^^^^Besides, the city of Atlanta needs a Championship quality team. I think they may have a good shot
    against that NFL team led by a pretty face & calculating cheater.

    Can't even stand his voice. When they were interviewing him after the Game, I had to turn it off. Just looking at Belichick's smug face makes me want to hurl.
