Best case goes to NYGiants. They'll give the Cowboys lots of trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if they won.

The Chargers will get eaten alive by the Colts now that they are alot healthier than they were
when they last played each other. Remember the only reason the Colts lost that game was cause
of the stupid kicker missing an easy fieldgoal.

Actually in basketball they slightly modified the rules last year, division winners are guaranteed at least top 4, but not 3. That way the best non-division winner isn't handicapped, they can still get the 2nd or 3rd seed if the best team is in their division. Also if the 5th seed gets a better record than a bad division winner in the 4th slot, they get home court advantage.

But NBA plays 82 games, and each team only plays teams of their own division 16 times, so the change of the rule makes sense. For NFL, I'm fine with the existing rule, since you only play 16 teams, 6 of which are against divisional opponents. That's pretty high percentage and makes each game more crucial.

In this coming round, home teams win 78% of the time over the last 18? or so years.

Oh... and Tom Brady has NEVER lost a home playoff game.

Well the Chargers also did their best to lose that game. They should just give Tomlision the ball 30 times. He hard ran the ball the last time they played. They need to Gates to play to even have a chance though. As for the Cowboys, it really depends on Romo. If he plays like he did in his last playoff game things might not go easy, right now I say the Cowboys win. I am thinking all the higher seeds advance it will be the first time since 1994.

Yeah, the only reason why the Colts made a run towards the end of that Chargers game was because Norv Turner had a very inept gameplan. For some reason he thought it was best to barely use the best runningback in the league to run out the clock. Instead he used a good at best quarterback who couldn't complete a pass to save his life.

In all honesty, Rivers shouldn't throw the ball more than 15 times this week. Then again, the Colts are probably expecting LT to run the ball nonstop, so they'll probably have to rely somewhat on Rivers having a good game.

In other words, the Chargers are fucked.

This is just a little something to think about...

What was the main reason people thought the Colts would lose in last years playoffs?

Their run defense.

What is the main reason people think the Pats will lose in this years playoffs?

Their run defense.

Apparently people don't learn their lessons.

I don't think NE's run defense was that bad. The Colts had a worse one last year.

We all knew Grant would be the decisive factor in this game

Nice drive Pack!

Just a great drive orchestrated by Favre

Well done Packers. And well done Grant, showing a lot of poise in running well
after a horrible start.

Shut your cakehole Holmgren. The remeasurement was correct...

That's why the Packers were my lock. There just better, and there showing it.

You're right. But I don't blame Holmgren for questioning it. It's his job.

Turnover!

I'm really surprised, I expected this to be a low-scoring affair

Green Bay takes the lead!

Terrible tackling by Green Bay on this drive. The best tackle came against the punter

And did the announcer honestly just say "Shaun Alexander is running well today"? He has 6 yards on 6 attempt, you nutcase

SS Atari Bigby is playing great right now

So far both offenses have been playing well, GB has been playing great on both sides of the ball.

Seattle has been more bailed out by turnovers than really playing well.

GB on the other hand has looked unstoppable.

That was a late hit you blind zebra!

Grant is a beast.

Holmgren should have challenged that catch, it hit the ground
