Halfway home in the NFL - Super Bowl Picks

[Clarkmeister]

Halfway there, week 8 is now complete. Post your playoff picks and superbowl selections.

AFC East: New England
AFC North: Pittsburgh
AFC South: Indianapolis
AFC West: San Diego
Wildcard 1: Denver
Wildcard 2: Jacksonville

Cinci's schedule gets way, way tougher here on out. JVille's is a cakewalk.

AFC Champion: San Diego (Indy the obvious pick, I find their schedule to date suspect with only one real opponent, Jacksonville, and a less than impressive win against that opponent).

NFC East: Giants
NFC North: Bears
NFC South: Carolina
NFC West: Seattle
Wildcard 1: Atlanta
Wildcard 2: Washington (road win vs Dallas huge)

NFC Champion:
Atlanta (Lots of legit choices here, but give me the team that plays good D and runs the ball)

Super Bowl winner:

San Diego - Their big weakness is pass D, and Atlanta isn't the right team to exploit that. Indy on the other hand..... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Dont be silly, they cant even beat Philly at home. You know, the team Denver just destroyed.

I think somehow Dallas gets in. I guess I would make Atlanta a division winner and drop Carolina out.

NFC up for grabs. I will take Dallas or Atlanta vs Indy in the SB but I still think Indy wins the whole thing.

That was pretty much because of a fluke play and Marty sucking ass, which ought to be enough to keep them from going far in the playoffs.

Clark: Atlanta's defense has been pretty awful this year.

AFC East: New England (lucky their division is weak)
AFC North: Cincinnati (I believe!)
AFC South: Indianapolis
AFC West: Denver
Wildcard 1: San Diego (and they'll be dangerous as hell, but two games back is a lot)
Wildcard 2: Pittsburgh

AFC Champion: Indianapolis

NFC East: New York
NFC North: Chicago
NFC South: Atlanta (not that good, but easy schedule)
NFC West: Seattle
Wildcard 1: Carolina
Wildcard 2: Philadelphia (I think they can get it together enough to slip in)

NFC Champion: Atlanta (I think NY is better, but they'll likely have home field, plus I cheer for them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Super Bowl winner: Indianapolis (I kinda want to pick somebody else, but they're likely to have home field too, and nobody in the NFC is nearly as good.)

I think I just made a lot of BSP picks. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I mostly picked the teams that were leading their divisions, because even a one-game lead is significant with this few games in the NFL season.

[Punker]

AFC East: Miami Dolphins
AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals
AFC South: Indianapolis Colts
AFC West: Denver Broncos
Wildcard 1: Pittsburgh Steelers
Wildcard 2: SD Chargers

NFC East: NY Giants
NFC North: Chicago Bears
NFC South: TB Bucs
NFC West: Seattle Seahawks
Wildcard 1: Washington Redskins
Wildcard 2: StLouis Rams

NFC Champions: Seattle Seahawks
AFC Champion: Indianapolis Colts

SB Champion: Seattle Seahawks

I provide no justification.

Also, it wasn't in SD, it was in Philly off of a Philly bye week, while the Denver won at home.

Atlanta's D has been far from "pretty awful". It's not great, but it's definitely good (note I didn't say "great"), and the best of the NFC teams in playoff contention other than the Bears IMO.

The Bears will allow 10 points? Almost as shameful as Super Bowl XX.

Um, the only team in the NFC that fits that bill is the Bears.
