NFL Week 20

Everything says Indy rolls over the Patriots, it's all there. But, I have to go with Tom "Mr. 12-1 in the playoffs" Brady over Peyton "Mr. 5-6 in the playoffs" Manning. It has nothing to do with the Colts/Patriots rivalry for me. Brady is just such a stud in the playoffs. I've watched him put a dagger through the Steelers hearts more than once.

Plus, I don't know if Bob Sanders can win another game for the Colts.

Never bet against Tom Brady & Bill Belichick in the post season.

That said, it will be an interesting matchup: Manning has not had a "big game" this post season, the Indy defense has been hot. If Peyton has a good game, it could go their way.

I think everyone knows what I think about the NFC Championship game.

:D

Pats 27
Indy 24

Saints 31
Bears 24
 
colts
saints

i say drew brees deeper experience keeps the saints cool through what turns out to be another mini-shootout (both teams score over 21 points a piece)... also, while the saints secondary isn't great, they're in better health than the unit the seahawks trotted on the field yesterday making it harder for grossman to hit the big plays... though he will hit a couple.

the colts' last drive on the ravens on saturday tells me everything i need to know about their offense... they patiently drove on one of the best defenses in the league to put the stranglehold on the win. this game should be close and i expect manning to do what rivers couldn't do against the pats and close it out in the final minutes with authority.

i was 3-1 last week, only being wrong on the bolts and pats game... i should've known better than picking on the side of the first year starting qb, i think i've learned my lesson.
 
Well i thinks it's Peytons turn, although i had them losing to the Ravens, i picked the Pats over the Bolts cuz of their coach..

THE BELOVED will turn the NO back into 'aints. The dream season for them ends at the Saucer.:crying: i can't predict how but they will step=up.
 
I hate to say it, but I think the Patriots won the Super Bowl last night. I *desperately* want the Colts to win, but I just don't see it happening.

Pats > Indy (you have no idea how much it pains me to say that... :( )

Saints > Bears.

NFC:

CHI beats NO if Grossman shows up "prepared."
 
There's a difference though.The Giants were bad.:)

And Chicago rolled over Seattle... no, wait, they had to go to overtime :D

either way it will be a close game over there. I like it that NO is playing in Soldier Field:

1. They have been good on the road.
2. If we win, great, if we lose, well we were not at home :D
3. Most players in the Saints on active roster are not from NO, they do not care about the snow, playing in a dome etc.
