Thread: The NFL Playoffs are here!

Broncos advance...on to the New England Cheaters.

I think that was the best wildcard game ending I've ever seen, maybe because I just hate the Steelers.

THANK YOU BRONKOS! I also hate the Steelers.

I know the Texans have QB problems and are on a slide, but I still think they are a better team overall and both have rookie QBs, so I then go with the better defense and running game, so I take the Texans.


Saints over Lions

Agree with you. I think the Lions are still a year or 2 away from being real contenders, and I think the Saints will win.


Giants over Falcons


This comes down to the fact that I trust Eli in the playoffs a lot more than Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan is a good QB, but has played significantly worse in the few playoff games he has been in, than in the regular season. I also think the Giants pass rush will give Ryan a lot of problems.

Steelers over Broncos


I think your pick is idiotic to put it nicely. I would take Ben Roethlisberger with his leg amputated over Tim Tebow, and Pittsburgh is as good or better in every other facet of the game as well. Not only is my money on Pitt, but I expect them to win by multiple touchdowns.

I got 3 out of 4 games right, but man was I wrong about the Broncos!!!

They have a lot of injuries & historically, the Super Bowl loser from the season before struggles the following season, either during the season or in the playoffs. Now having said all that, it wouldn't surprise me if Pitt blows out the Broncos. But I'm going on a hunch (& maybe some wishful thinking). For what it's worth, I also am predicting my team, the Giants(I'm originally from Connecticut) to lose to the Falcons.

I ain't gonna take a bunch of credit for picking the Broncos to beat the Steelers, 'cause in my view, I wasn't going all that out on a limb. Like I stated, the Steelers weren't some juggernaut, an unbeatable team or something. With their injuries, the game was pretty much a toss-up, IMO.
What I will take credit for, is realizing that the game is played on the field & not on paper. Which is what anybody who understands & watches sports should realize. Also, that in sports, no animal exists called a "sure thing". Vegas was built on the backs of losers, not winners.

America's team? The cheaters? I think not. Besides I'm not from Denver, I have no dog in the hunt other than New England has a history of cheating...

Gee, maybe, just maybe, your opinion of my pick of the Broncos over the Steelers was a bit idiotic.
But my picks of the Texans & Giants losing were surely idiotic. But ya go with yer gut & that's the way it goes. I've been reluctant to throw any emotional capital on the Giants the last few years, but I may be all in against the Packers next week.
And yes, I was all in on the Broncos beating the Steelers & Tebow playing that well, 'cause I was sure they & he could do it.
