AFC
1. Chargers
2. Ravens
3. Colts
4. Patriots
5. Bengals
6. Jacksonville

Chargers are on a roll. But no one is giving any love to Baltimore, and if you look at their remaining schedule, they could run the table, putting them at 13-3. Colts fall but probably still win 12 games (the other loss imo will be to Cincy), NE could win that division in their sleep.

Colts over Jacksonville, though I'd be scared shit if I'm the colts and see Jacksonville in the first round

Patriots over the Bengals, and i LOVE the Bengals, but in Foxboro late in the season, you gotta give it to Brady and Co because they've done it so many times before

Ravens over Colts. This is the type of team that will beat the Colts. A ball control offense that keeps the O off the field with a solid QB and tough defense. Plus Manning out in the cold weather is still not something I trust at all.

Chargers over the Pats. I think the Chargers have too many weapons for NE. But I will say that I don't trust Marty coaching anyone in the playoffs, buyer beware.

AFC Championship game: Coin Flip basically, but Rivers in that big a game against a sick defense and a team that has beaten them before. I think the Ravens take the AFC.

NFC
1. Bears
2. Saints
3. Cowboys
4. Seattle
5. Falcons
6. Giants

Either way here, I think the Giants are one and done. I don't trust Eli, Seattle has embarassed them before and the Cowboys are just better.

Cowboys over Giants
Seattle over Falcons. Dangerous game though, if Atlanta ever got in, they'd be a tough out for anyone

Seattle over Bears. With Alexander and Hasselbeck healthy, plus Grossman being spotty (last night's game notwithstanding), I think the Bears could have trouble scoring enough to win a game like this. Seattle however, has enough weapons to put points on the board.

Cowboys over Saints in a game that I think would wind up say 40-37 ish. Tons of offensive weapons on both sides, would probably look like a video game. I give the nod to the Boys figuring Parcells would have his guys a bit more ready.

Seattle over Cowboys. Seattle is good enough on both sides of the ball to play with anyone. So is Dallas. Another coin flip game essentially. but I trust Hasselbeck who did this last year a bit more than Romo, who we forget is essentially a rookie.

Ravens over Seahawks. Baltimore has the corners to play their receivers straight up. You could be looking at the last chance for Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, McNair and most of that team. And I expect them to play like it. Seattle is tough on both sides of the ball but doesn't have the play-makers on defense that Baltimore does. Again, Ball control with the Ravens, keeping Seattle's O off the field. Thus I give the Ravens the nod.
