Might as well pick this weeks games even though I'm going to get at least half of them wrong. AFC: Denver over Baltimore - don't f**k this one up, Peyton, it's a gimmie. Houston over Cheatriots - I absolutely do not believe Houston will actually win this game but I can't bring myself to pick those scumbags from the land of god awful accents. NFC: Seattle over Atlanta - Falcons bomb in the playoffs, again San Fran over Green Bay - Not confident in either team and this is the closest matchup but I like San Fran's defense to give them the edge.

Well I'll make me picks (suppose can't really put it off any longer). Pretty much no confidence in the NFC games...both are essentially toss ups in my mind. That said:
Pats
Broncos
Seahawks
Packers

Holy sh*t! What a garbage missed call! Decker damn near tackled before the ball gets there and it results in the Ravens getting a TD. This awful team better not get to another championship game.

At least it's all made for an exciting game. Last week's games were snoozefests.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Broncos put this one out of reach by the end of the 3rd.

I hope you're right because so far they're laying an egg on defense against an offense that shouldn't strike fear in the heart of most major college programs. Gotta get some pressure on flacco so he'll make the mistakes we all know he's capable of. Still can't believe the refs gifted Baltimore that TD.

IDK about that, last week was solid but yeah it's gunna get better now.
Missed the game thus far but I see it's tied. Still have to give the advantage to Peyton and co but honestly, I'm not totally sold on their D.
I really don't care about the AFC....long as it's not the Pats I really don't care who makes it

I share your feelings on the Pats, unless the Ravens somehow sneak through to play them. Then I root for a meteorite to crush the stadium during the game.  Unless Houston gets to the SB I'll be rooting for the NFC team.

Wow, way to end the half. Good game, though.
I'm anti-Pats, too. Just for the boredom factor of repetition. I want new teams. LOL
WOW! Helluva return! Way to START the half.

Well that's no shocker now is it?  I mean my AFC preference are the Broncos, Texans would be cool, but long as its not the Pats. And yeah, I've mellowed on hating them...just as ya said, I'm really really sick of them being around. Especially with AFC being weaker and the gifts they got last year. I mean, playoffs are playoffs but Tebow and a dropped TD/missed FG? That's the easiest road you can have! I am a huge fan of the Niners/Seahawks though. Will be pretty disappointed if neither make it to the bowl (and I have a whole $2 on the niners)

I'm a Titans (Houston Oilers) fan, so I have no real dog in the fight.
It would be interesting to see a Har-Bowl, but aside from the novelty I think the Niners would slaughter the Ravens.
Niners/Broncos would be a good match to see again. But I think it'll go a bit differently this time if it happens.

BTW not only is the "Bostonian" accent pretty cool (not used to class you yinser?  ) but it's quite stereotypical. Never heard anyone speak like that all the times I've been there. Oh yeah G men are out and Skins lost so I have zero vested interest, but its in me...I always need a team to root for and the Niners are just everything I love. Game was no gimme, buuut it is tighter than I expected. In theory it's easy to say "the ravens are all short game + random deep bombs, so just dont allow the deep bomb" but that's why we couch coach and don't play

Even the mildest Bostonian accent sounds like feces is just splatter out of their mouth, to me. That strong Minnesota (the mom from Bobby's World, if anyone remembers that) accent is not as bad but up there, as well. I actually like most other accents.

Ironically only the southern accent bugs me. Mild ones are ok, but anything more just grates my soul.
Soothing my ass.

Dan Dierdorf must be from Baltimore, or something. Think he's taken their side on every single call/non-call.
