    NE/IND is another toss up, and should be a battle. I think SD just has a really easy road to the SB this time around. 11 wins in a row has to count for something as well.
    No, NE would go to SD and CIN would go to IND.

      Jets are not the #6 seed? or CIN is not the #3? Or I guess both? heh

      I figured Jets were #6 since they had same wins as BAL but fewer Division wins.

      Edit: Indeed I was wrong. Jets are #5 vs #4 CIN. Doesn't change that rounds predictions though. NE @ SD is a tougher game for the Chargers though to be sure.

        In an odd aside...has there been a season where three 1st round playoff games involve teams that met in the final game of the regular season, two in the same stadium?

          The beating a team 3 times in a season thing gets blown way out of proportion. Someone mentioned it on the post game show that there have been 17 match ups like that, and 12 the three game sweep was accomplished.

            Superstition runs deep in sports.

            I would love a MN-GB matchup. That's the type of game that playoffs are all about.

            And the fact that MN is 1-0 against GB in the playoffs, which seems really odd. They've faced off ONCE in their playoff history?

            The only drawback would be the media storylines. That'd be unbearable.

                Why are all of you assuming the Pats are going to beat Baltimore??? Because you've been brainwashed?

                  No, because I don't trust BAL at all.

                      Because, Scarlet, the purple browns blow. They suck, I mean really suck. Patsies will have no trouble moving on to lose in he next round at sd

                        Lost by .5 points. If I had started Mendenhall over Barber or Shiancoe over Winslow...I would have won.

                        Or if Roy Williams wasn't worthless and created that Romo INT last week.

                          Isn't their special teams coach considered one of the best in the league? I assume they've settled on a coach who said he wanted entirely new personnel.

                            Their fates are in the hands of the new coach.

                            The new head coach could end up retaining some of the coaching staff. For instance, guys like Fewell and Bobby April (the special teams coach).

                            BTW- the Bills special teams were AWFUL this year.

                              No. The Pats will build a 17-14 point lead and collapse like the PC athletic department in the last quarter. This would be sandbagging if it hadn't happened six times this year. This team might have gone 14-2 if they didn't make outrageously awful decisions in the fourth quarter of every road game not involving the Bills.
