NFL Wild Card weekend

The season goes by too quick. Only 34 days until the Superbowl. The schedule for wild card weekend is set, with one more team still trying to get in.

(all times eastern)
Saturday, January 5

4:30pm: Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans
8:00pm: Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

Sunday, January 6

1:00pm: Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens
4:30pm: Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys/Washington Redskins

For the divisional schedule on the weekend of the 12th/13th...

- Broncos host the early game on Saturday
- 49ers host the late game on Saturday
- Falcons host the early game on Sunday
- Patriots host the late game on Sunday

 

My 2 cents. AFC wins Superbowl

 

Pats over Seahawks. You all read it here first.

 

I was thinking Denver.

 

The same Denver team Brady just beat a few weeks ago?

 

Lets put a couple facts on the table.
1. A "couple of weeks ago" was October 7th. How about a couple of months ago.
2. Game was in NE. AFC goes through Denver.
3. 11 wins in a row since that game.
4. Who has better defense?
5. Can you say "I can't breath" in 4th quarter at Mile High.

Don't get me wrong both teams are great. I think Seatle has the best chance in the NFC(defense), but a rookie qb in the superbowl?

 

Here is one more fact about the Broncos. They played 3 teams, that at that moment had winning records all season. They were beat by all 3. The Pats already beat them, that is more than enough for me.

 

Good discussion Zamboni.
Two of the three loses were on the road. Again the AFC goes through Denver.
You don't thing Manning had to get use to his new team. Do we notice that those games were in the 1st five weeks of the season.
Good points all around
