Are you ready for some.......Football!!!

[shreddermon]

Yep, that's me. Same teams since I was a little one in the 1970s. :P

[dg]

What a collapse. I understand the Steelers' D hurting without Polamalu, but they're stinking it up on both sides of the ball. They're not my team, but I like Tomlin & hope he gets it turned around.

It'll be interesting to see how the AFC plays out. My guess is the Colts will take it if somebody else knocks off the Pats for them. They do not want that rematch. The Chargers are a matchup nightmare that nobody wants any part of, but I don't know if Norv can get them through consecutive tight playoff games. The Bengals are good, but I wonder if the character problems will come back when the real heat is on. The Jags are flying under the radar and getting it done. Seems like you never see them or hear a thing about them.

[clifffclaven]

steelers looked like a high school team last night. EIGHT sacks? are you fukin kidding me?! Losses to KC, oakland and cleveland? 6-2 and leading the div. to 6-7 and out of the playoffs? W.T.F.!!!!!

[atomic charvel guy]

don't worry, Norv Turner will crash the Charger Ferrari at some point, he's the worst head coach in the world after Rex Ryan. The Dolphins are still alive but have a tough remaining schedule. The Jets, well, forget it, the Jags are playing fairly well, but not a long distance team playoff wise, first round and out. New England beat the Colts as far as i'm concerned and were robbed of the game, stupid call on 4th down or not, they made the first down. Anyway, handicap as best you can for this weekend, and when you're comfortable with your picks, do what I am gonna do and take the exact opposite of your final summation, this season is the biggest weirdo season that I can remember in my life.
The Ravens should have beaten the Vikings and Patriots, the aFC is at least interesting to watch right now from the who's gonna get in standpoint.
Go the opposite way of the picks you like against the spread, if you go even close to .500 you're kicking ass this year-lol

[P I K A]

Vikings win BIG !!!!!!

[Jayster]

Jairus Byrd ........ 9 INT's<should be a shoe in for defensive rookie of the year>.

Oh, and a meaningless win for Buff.

[atomic charvel guy]

Saints tested, but still win in Atlanta. They have Dallas, Tampa and carolina left. 16-0 is looking likely right now. The Jets beat a high school team today, Dolphins beat the Jags but New England won and retain first place. The Colts are also 13-0. Could be the first time ever that two teams go undefeated. Would be cool to see, but still 3 games left. AFC is still clogged with possibilities.
Giants-Eagles at 5 p.m. here. If the Chargers hold on and beat dallas, that's an even bigger game than it already is.

Colts snatched the longest winning streak from the Patriots.

It's going to be an interesting playoff season to say the least.
Never ever rule out the under dog teams especially this playoff season.
I've seen over the years not only in football but in baseball and basketball alike.
The unexpected team win and turns the expected momentum in a playoff or pennant in a completely different direction.

Honestly, and I say this only as a Colt fan.
I'd love to see the Colts and the Saints square off and the Colts come away with the victory.

Even so, keep your eyes open for the sleeper teams that seem to always come alive during playoffs. A lot of fans get frustrate and mucho money is lost because nobody expects the sleeping giant to wake up... but they DO.

[atomic charvel guy]

absolutely Soapster, especially in the NFL. Look at the Giants in 2007.
Patriots go 18-0, but the Giants got hot starting with the last game of the regular season against them in a 38-35 loss, but it showed the Giants that they could play with them. The Giants then went on the road for 4 consecutive weeks and won all 4 playoff games over tampa, Dallas, Green Bay, and then the Bowl against the Patriots. It was remarkable even though I am not a Giant fan in any way, I can't stand them.

fun game to watch last night, it was a nice change from the last two thursday night snoozes between the jets-Bills and Steelers-browns. The giants special teams and red zone D blow the big one. I'm talking about the Giants alot because alot of my friends are giant fans and i'm dishing it out this a.m.
We have thursday night and saturday football now coming up this week!!!

[Newc]

The Steelers are falling back into last place so they can get early-round draft picks. They're probably going for Tebow. They'll need a new QB to replace Ben.

[atomic charvel guy]

What they need is Polamalu back. that guy changes the whole show on their defense.
What a sucker game last night. Cardinals were laying 3 and a half and not only didn't they cover, they lost outright. What I'd say about home teams getting points?
The 49ers could be a good team again soon.

[atomic charvel guy]

great game tonight, colts were put to the test and picked off a ball at the end to secure the win 35-31. 14-0 now.
who's better the saints or the colts? the saints for the most part have blown most of their foes off the field, while the colts have won alot of their games in the 4th quarter? which is better? gotta admire the way the colts make big plays when they really need them, at this point it's a tough call. i'm gonna give a slight nod to the saints right now, but manning has been deep in the playoffs and brees has not, many factors, but i gotta go with the saints at this time.

Jags season ticket holder here...game was great last night, but sadly there is so much talent difference between a young Jag team and the steamrolling indy machine...Garrard just collapses in the 4th qtr...sacks, picks, and no points...too bad we couldn't close out Miami and we were certainly in the game last night until he threw another pick. Glad to see some of you enjoyed the game.

[atomic charvel guy]

I really thought the loss to Miami was a crusher for the Jags since they had to play Indy last night. There were more lead changes in that game last night then there will be passing yards for the Jets this weekend.
