I am a devout Chargers girl and so I am totally cheering them on right now. Nothing would start out my year better than 3 more wins!!!

I think the NFC could go a couple different ways... but maybe this year will be the Seahawks' time.

    Well, the AFC is pretty open. I mean sure, the Broncos dominated the regular season, but each team remaining in the AFC have beaten the Broncos this year.

    If I had to pick an AFC team to root for, though - it would probably be the colts only because Andrew Luck is the son of former WVU QB and current Athletic Director Oliver Luck.

    in the NFC, i don't care for the 49ers too much. I wouldn't mind if the Seahawks won. They deserve a break after what happened to them in the last Super Bowl they played in.

    But, a long time ago, I learned that trying to pick games was just an exercise in futility.

    Seattle - Denver, and I'd love to see Seattle win. My hubs is betting on the Saints, though. I'm just glad the Packers got knocked out of it!

    I am a Cowboys fan so I am pretty sure my opnion would be null and void! :bigsmile:

    I would really like to see an amazing game like the Auburn / Florida game! Some real excitement!!!

    Hey there, fellow Cowboys fan! Maybe next year will be our year.... to actually make the playoffs!

    seriously that Auburn game was incredible.

    Is there any question who I'm picking? But home teams in the other 3.

    Since 1990 in the divisional round: The home team is 67-25. That is 73%.

    I'm hoping my home team the Seahawks will go all the way, but Russell Wilson's been a little "off" for the past couple of games. If he doesn't snap out of it then I'm afraid we're toast. The team I'm most nervous about getting past is are the 'Niners.

    I think we'll beat the Saints this weekend. Maybe that'll get us some coverage in the national media other than "Oh btw the Seahawks won, here are two 5-second clips, now let's get back to analyzing every single minute of that Packers game!".

    I've been saying for a few years that if Seattle could just get a good QB in place, they'd make it to the Bowl. Wilson will get it together. He's a good QB.

    And god yes, please save me from Packers highlights EVERY FOOTBALL DAY!

    Well I'm a Pats fan so that's my story there, and it's a shame they are playing the Colts, because these last two years are the probably the first two years I've actually liked the Colts. I would love a San Diego win, and and the NFC is full of teams that are just overall great teams, not a ton of weaknesses in them. Panthers, and San Fran have looked unstoppable lately, the Sea Hawks have been playing good all year, and the Saints finally won a road game haha. The team I would like to see come out of the NFC would be the 49ers though, because even though I think all of those teams are good teams, I actually don't really like them, so 49ers are the ones I hate the least, and that is because of Vernon Davis, and Patrick Willis.

    I am a Steelers fan.......

    I think that the Patriots will play the Saints in the Super Bowl.

    The Chargers have a punchers chance given their strong pass defense and due to getting hot at the right time.

    the Patriots are lucky they got as far as they did, considering they traded away their entire receiving core.

    I'm a Ravens fan but that ship has sailed and OP supported me last year while her team was on the bench. Go Chargers!

    Seattle vs. Denver, although I'd rather see the Patriots in there instead of the Broncos.

    Hey...what time do the Arlington Cowboys play this weekend?

    If we're going by odd stats:

    Since 2010 whomever played against the Philadelphia Eagles in their home opener went on to becoming the Superbowl Champion.

    2010- Saints
    2011- Packers
    2012- Giants
    2013- Ravens

    Guess who was the Eagles home opener this year?







    The Chargers. Sorry, this is where the streak ends though

    I hate the Broncos with a passion since I'm a Raiders fan but I love Peyton Manning. I'll be rooting for Manning to win it all.

    Colts are going to take the Patriots this week. I say that not only because I am a diehard Colts fan, but because our team is in MUCH better shape.

    We've beaten Broncos and Seahawks and KC TWICE. Colts are game for anything!
