The NFL Postseason begins today - Who plays in the Super Bowl and who wins it?

[saturdaysarebetter]

I'm rooting for the Chiefs and Saints and hopefully Drew Brees gets his second ring. Anyone but the Patriots, please.

[Born2Steel]

I am predicting the Bears and Ravens. Ravens win.

[silver & black]

I really don't know...lol. Maybe the Ravens and the Bears. I'm a Bears fan the rest of the year....for as long as it lasts!

Colts up 14. they look good today.

yep. Would not surprise me if it's a Colts/Saints Superbowl rematch.

I'd be happy for Luck.

[Born2Steel]

Texans are getting zero pressure on Luck.

[Shoes]

Colts up 3 td's

[Mojouw]

Chargers and Saints

[AtlantaDan]

Colts looking great and Texans being exposed as beneficiaries of a soft schedule

Colts holding on to win today has side benefit of Patriots having to play winner of Chargers-Ravens next weekend rather than abusing Houston again

Worst case scenario that gets Ravens or Pats out of playoffs no later than next weekend

In another thread I gave my Saints over Patriots Super Bowl pick - Chiefs have not played well against other playoff teams in past month

[86WARD]

Trying to think out of the box. It’s gonna go like this:

Ravens over Chargers
Colts over Texans

Seahawks over Cowboys
Bears over Eagles

Chiefs over Colts
Ravens over Patriots

Bears over Rams
Saints over Seahawks

Ravens over Chiefs
Bears over Saints

Ravens over Bears


I can really see the Eagles beating the Bears and the Saints going to the Super Bowl but I think the Ravens are playing the best football in the AFC...

From the other thread.

Booger Mc Farland just compared Darius Leonard to Jack Ham.

This ESPN crew is the worst - Booger and Witten wasted time earlier discussing how they both would compete in the Pro Bowl skills drills later this month while the game was going on

[Edman]

Texans are on their way to the couch. If Mike Tomlin and the Steelers weren't around, Bill O'Brien would be the biggest underachieving coach in the AFC.

Dan, couldn’t agree more. I don’t ever remember an announcing team giving me a reason to not watch a game but these guys did all year.

Marlon Mack finished nicely, running out the clock. I guess he’s Franco Harris according to Booger.

[Edman]

Colts win and move on to Kansas City. Houston is out.

Ravens/Chargers winner goes to New England.

[86WARD]

That would’ve been an easy win for the Steelers...lol.

[st33lersguy]

Accidentally tripped on the score of the Texans wildcard game. Texans should fire Bill O Brien. They are never winning anything notable with him as head coach. He's just a boring version of Mike Tomlin. Good news is that it guarantees someone other the Baltimore and New England will play in the AFC Championship game

[Steeler-in-west]

I’d like to see the Colts and Rams in the super bowl. The Colts because Noll was an assistant there and I always liked the team since they’re Baltimore days (behind the Steelers of course) and the Rams cause I want it shown how far competent coaching can take a team

overall I don’t care about the playoffs this year much at all, it’s like watching boring commercials without the Steelers.

[EzraTank]

And like clockwork the refs give the Cowboys back to back first downs on DPI calls on 3rd downs.

[Crow-Magnon]

My head says Eagles and Chiefs in the SB. A Foles-led Eagles team in the post-season was simply magic last year and he seems to be able to do it again. Chiefs benefit with playing at Arrowhead, along with Mahomes’ arm.

My heart say Ravens and Bears. I’d love to watch those defenses battle on the same field.

I also took Ravens and Bears for that very reason. Plus I don't think anyone has learned how to beat this Jackson led version of the Ravens yet. My head tries to tell me the Home team Saints and Chiefs but I am sticking to what I want since my team didn't get in.

[AtlantaDan]

After what I watched all season with the Steelers it was refreshing to be reminded what it looks like to see a team run a drill to close out a game when Dallas got the ball up 3 with 7 minutes left around its 40 and then took 5 minutes off the clock before scoring with a it less than 2 minutes left to go up by 10

[86WARD]

Let’s go Chargers!!

[silver & black]

Let’s go Chargers!!

[86WARD]

Baltimore gets a call to go their way. Watt got robbed of a TD...but Gordon gets it back on 4th & Goal and they convert the conversion to go up 20-3 in the 4th quarter.

[tube517]

Gotta pass to win in this league. Ravens can run the ball and play defense but this isn't 2000 anymore. And you can't have Kordell 2.0 at QB.

[EzraTank]

Kordell could at least pass a little. Jackson is brutal.

[86WARD]

Chargers playing three safeties at LB most game and it’s been shutting the run down big time. Also not bad in coverage...

[86WARD]

Looks like a TD for the Ravens. 23-17 Chargers with 1:59 remaining...
