In first round matchups with teams that don't belong in the playoffs my money is always on the team that doesn't belong. Weather it be 7-9 Seattle beating the Saints or the 8-8 Chargers beating the Colts.

I did. Just easier to copy and paste it in the quick response when I had it ready then to quote you. Anyway that reminds me. When is Matty going to give up control of the forum to a real Mod?

Crazy. I had no idea Ryan Clark had that condition. Or maybe I did after what happened to him in 2007, but I probably forgot about it. Sucks for him. I think the Steelers will still win though.

...sounds to me that where there is ..."dirt"....there is fire.

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

I would like to see:

Cincy beat Houston because I like Andy Dalton and dont care much for anything Texaswise.

I'd like Denver to beat Pitt though I doubt it will happen.
The Tebow thing is good for the NFL I think and I love to see the haters gnash their teeth over it.

I dont care much for the Falcons but for obvious reasons I'd like to see them crush the Gints.

I've made a living out of hating the Lions and I hope Drew Brees embarrasses them badly.

Denver is the one team in the playoffs that an opponent can get away without having a player like Clark. Pgh is banged up but Denver makes the Redskins offense look explosive. Pgh wins this one.

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

Hopes and Predictions:

Falcons/Giants: Hope Falcons, Prediction Giants (obvious reason for the hope)
Saints/Lions: Hope Saints, Prediction Saints (like the Saints a lot since I saw them live in London)
Cincy/Houston: Hope Houston, Prediction Cincy (dunno, just like the Texans)
Denver/Pittsburgh: Hope Steelers, Prediction Steelers (don´t like the Steelers, but can´t stand the Tebow - hype AND person)

This is the one game that has ugly written all over it to me.

Ben R. could sit out and they could still win big.

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

My upset picks: Cincy wins, Detroit wins, and Denver wins. I think Denver has more of a chance than people are giving them. Denver's pass rush against a limited Ben could be an advantage. The Jesus factor could be huge as well.

One playoff win in 15 years? I'd love to ask Jerry that if a real GM was making the moves that caused that track record, would that GM still have a job? He knows that isn't good enough and he should fire himself. It won't happen cause his ego is the size of Texas!

I'm saying it now, Denver upsets Pittsburgh.

I think it's a close game simply cause Pittsburgh is so beat up. Pittsburgh wins a close one.

Nope, Pgh got smoked but Denver isnt anywhere close to SF's caliber. Denver just doesnt score enough points.

...yet in Sept ...they will be the team to beat,...as always.

Absolutely!! Great football weekend every year but I think this season in particular looks promising. I actually think every game this weekend could be competitive.

Sure the Steelers are the better team but as beat up as that roster is Denver will give 'em a run.

Texans have been very fortunate to win games since Schaub went down. Bengals showed this season they lose to good teams and beat the bad ones...Texans are somewhere in the middle.

Giants seem to be peaking but Atlanta is the better team and should take this one.

The Lions are well matched against the Saints offensively, but the Lions defense will break apart against Saints o. Saints have the top passing attack and (maybe surprisingly) sixth best running game in the league. The ground game will be decisive against San Fran.

Everybody is a bit nervous in this game.

Re: Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs
 

Dear Baby Jesus, Can you please let the Redskins pull off their own version of last year's Cincy draft, Green in the first, Dalton in the second.

Blackmon in the first, ??? in the second?

I would have gladly given up not taking Jenkins and Hank to pick up Dalton.

yeah. Jay Gruden has done an amazing job with him and Green. Green was fairly easy to pick as a future probowler. I dont think Blackmon is as good as Green coming out, but he's not too far off. I thought Dalton would be a solid pick in the second round, had no clue he'd be this good.

Marvin Lewis uses his last challenge of the game at the 4:33 mark of the 2nd quarter and loses the challenge. What a moron.
Marvin is a nervous nelly. He is sweating worse than Nixon.
