Originally posted by no1marauderGeez marauder. I started the college bowl picks down 2-6. So I out picked the field the rest of the way (going 18 -8) to get close. Just give it your best shot, which I see you are doing.
After going 1-3 in the Wild Card Round I should simply slink away in shame but:
Ravens, Falcons, Bears, Patriots

Originally posted by darvlayThese are also my picks. Falcons will muffle it after having a week off to get rusty and the packers seem like more of a playoff team. I don't think the falcons are as good as their record as they didn't really beat the snot out of anyone this year and also lost to the saints who lost to tampa bay and the seahawks.
Steelers, Patriots, Seahawks, Packers
The ravens are just crap and remind me of the Rex Grossman led bears of a few years ago ie good defense crappy offense. Their defense won't be able to contain Big Ben aka Superbowl Stealer [SS]
It would be insane to vote against the patriots until they face the Hawks who will be going to the NFC championship game this year and then the superbowl and I will only vote for the hawks over the pats cos I am a hawks fan. (I just had a gut feeling early in the season that told me it would be a Seahawks vs Packers in the NFC Championship and I have stuck with this even when the Seahawks fumbled their 4-2 start to end up 7-9)
Seahawks beat the Bears in their home early this season, they just came off a major mojo gathering win and Jay Cutler is in his first playoff game so hawks will do so again. I expect a blowout involving the running game which was the Seahawk Achille's heel. If the running game was good throughout the season I believe the Hawks would have been the best team in the NFC.
Originally posted by tomtom232We'll see. Seahwaks simply will not be ale to string two performances like Sunday's as they have shown all season.

Originally posted by SmookiePNot really. A sputtering Hawks offense put up 23 points against them. If the offense is on key like it was against the Saints it will be a blowout because the Bears won't be able to score with a flustered Jay Cutler playing his first playoff game under pressure to keep up with the points that the Hawks will put on the board. The Seahawks are simply peaking, they played badly because of injuries and a young team but now they are relatively healthy and they finally found a good starting combination (the tenth one I believe) for the O line.
Yea, the "Hawk" stops there.. Chicago's "D" will be too much for Carroll and his girls.
Originally posted by tomtom232I disagree. SEahwaks aren't 91/2 dogs for nothing. Bears D wil save Cutler. I don't think Bears wil allow Lynch to run crazy and their pass D is not bad. You really expect a high scoring game in the cold and snow? Hawks are playing well, but they are not the Pats. I don't expect a blow out, but I don't expect a Hawk's win.

I saw that too, but did not think it needed being dignified with a comment! No way Ravens are crap!
Here's some fun facts:
The Seahawks lost 7 games by 17 or more points.
The Ravens allowed more than 17 points only 5 times all year.
The Raven-Steeler game is the best matchup of the week; good old-fashioned smash mouth football. IMO the Ravens have the best chance of derailing the Pats.
Originally posted by no1marauderI know the past facts. The playoffs are a whole new ball game though and the Bears are about to get pounded.

The Ravens are crap and will not beat the Stealers... and if they do then oh well its not like they will beat the Pats.
