Here is my full bracket:

Week #1 AFC

#6 Baltimore over #3 New England
#4 Cincinatti over #5 Jets

If those are correct, then

#6 Baltimore over #1 Indy
#2 San Diego over #4 Cincinatti

if those are correct, then

#2 San Diego over #6 Baltimore

Week #1 NFC

#3 Dallas over #6 Philly
#5 Green Bay over #4 Arizona (although they're playing in ARI and the
opening line is ARI -2.5)

if correct, then:

#1 Saints over #5 Green Bay
#2 Minnesota over #3 Arizona

If correct, then

#1 New Orleans over #2 Minnesota

If all of the above are correct, we've got a helluva game

San Diego over New Orleans 44-35

Thoughts?

It won't happen, but it can, if Phila and GB win this weekend, GB travels to
Minnesota in W2. 1 vs 6, 2 vs 5.

Based on yesterday, Philly is totally dead. But crazier things have
happened and it would be sweet if they happened to Dallas.

For what it is worth (which is very little), I pick Philly. But it is based
solely on faith and please don't ask for any action on this one. They
can't play any worse?

Happening to be a Charger fan has nothing to do with my bracket picks. I
think they're the best team left in the AFC and if Indy loses, the Chargers
will play all home games. The Chargers are the NFC East Champs, too, you
know. They played and beat everyone in that division as well as their own
division, including two playoff teams, Dallas and Philly. The last two
times Indy and San Diego have met in the playoffs, San Diego has beaten
them. Tell me who you think will come into San Diego and beat the Chargers.
Let's see your bracket, Doggy.

I did some thinking about this while in the doctor's office today and
decided that I'm going to be putting a sizeable bet on SD to win the whole
thing. My time is due and when they win not only will I be able to pay
off Jordan and my other debts, I'll have enough to start playing poker
online for real stakes again. Anyone interested in making side bets with
me?

I don't think they were against Dallas. after the perfect season went
down the tubes, then maybe. I think most teams value momentum and
confidence and 3 losses in a row achieve neither.

After the post-season's locked up, I think players value their health.
Coaches value their players' health too, I'm told.

BTW, #1 seed, even after dropping 3 in a row, is not "limping in".

call it what you want .. I told you people weeks in advance that there
would be no undefeated teams and i told you when they would lose and who
they would lose to and how

NO was 13-0 when they lost to dallas

if you think that game would have been the same if the saints were 11-2
and desperately needed to win that game ..you are out of your mind

what is it with you "FANS" ? how fucking blind do you become ?

denvers best year they got to 14-0 and stone cold layed down

Indy layed down like a little girl ..literally "QUIT"

Go back and look at teams that get to 12-0 , 13-0 .. Only one went
undefeated in regular season

When someone tells you what you are going to see and why you are going to
see it and when you will see it ..it is fool's work to argue the point

NO didnt give a shit about the Dallas game .. they made that decision
before the game , when it appeared that the Vikes were going to puke it up

Rick is a professional gambler and knows that the way to keep in action is

The problem is that they had a lot of defensive starters injured going
back to the New England game. For Dallas, Tampa, and Carolina, Shockey
didn't play. I am not saying he is that important just by himself, but he
adds a component that is a threat and also opens up other people. They
had to get players off the street that weren't even playing when they
played NE. I don't know if all that will be cleared up by the first
playoff game, but it has to be better.

The Saints have the offense to win it all, it just depends on who they
have on defense. Dallas looks like the team to beat and Philly might just
take care of that after they lulled them to sleep last weekend.

I think anybody that thinks the Saints can't win two games in a row based
solely on losing the last three against teams that were on a free roll is
mistaken. If they get their defense back together it will be two easy
victories in the NFC playoffs.

Neither Dallas nor Philly are going anywhere in the playoffs IMO.

Dallas' defense is playing really well right now. The question is when
Romo will pull a Matusow?

Either Dallas is going to Minnesota or Philly is going to New Orleans. So
you can't say that neither of them are going anywhere in the playoffs.

Now if your contention is that the winner of their game will lose in the
next round, that's something that can be debated rationally, SpazzO.
