The Broncos limit the turnovers on Saturday, and they win again. I have some open seats on the Broncos bandwagon, been driving it for a few months now. No one else wants to join me?

The 49ers are going to get embarassed by the Saints. I don't even want to think about it.

P.S....any New England guys going to the game? I'd like to drive down. It's only a couple hours from where I am.

Mike, you're battin' .500 here....the Tebow train is goin' off the rails in Foxboro. You got the 9ers/Saints figured just about right though. ;)

What am I missing about the DEN/NE game that has you convinced the Patriots will win?

Much as it pains me to say this, because I can't stand him, but Tom Brady is NOT a one-legged Ben Roethlisberger.

No way the Broncos can win in a shootout, and the Patriots will put points up in bunches.

Defense doesn't win championships, POINTS win championships. You have to both score them, and make sure the other team scores fewer.

Same reason the 49ers are in over their heads - great defense, but they cannot keep up with what the Saints will be doing, outside...grass...don't matter, sorry. Just to be clear, the guy in that photo up there ^ is just one leg of the #6 rushing game in the NFL this season, and the BEST rushing attack in the playoffs right now. Yes, BETTER than SF's. :)

I agree with most of what you said, but I don't see New England scoring a bunch of points in the game myself. That is why I think Denver can pull this one out. I know the Patriots can score fast and furious, but I think Denver will be ready for them. Tebow, he has something to prove in this game too.

What scares me about the Pack-Giants game, is that they remind me of last year's Packers - getting hot at the right moment and with a healthy D. I happen to catch an NFL Network interview with Justin Tuck last night - what a well spoken guy and hard not to like him. That said, the Giants have not shown the consistency during the season, again somewhat like last year's Pack. It's going to be a close game I think, just as the last meeting was. But if the packers lose, it will be because of the Giant's D preventing Rodgers and the offense from getting big plays due to pressure on Rodgers, and the Packer's D giving up lots of 3rd down conversions, and enough big plays (it's MO all season) to give the Giants the win. The ONLY thing tilting this to a Packers win for me is the Lambeau advantage.

Well said. I agree with all of this. I can't get the image out of my mind of that Vikings QB that used to play for us, tossing up a moronic interception to hand the Giants the game in the playoffs at Lambeau back a few years ago.
