Obviously some of these games will not happen if any of the predictions go wrong since the NFL reshuffles match-ups after Round 1, but here are my picks.

AFC
Pats def Jags
Steelers def Bengals

Pats def Broncos
Colts def Steelers

Pats def Colts

NFC
Giants def Panthers
Bucs def Redskins

Seahawks def Giants
Bucs def Bears

Seahawks def Bucs

Superbowl
Pats def Seahawks 27-24

i know i am just being overly optimistic here being a panthers fan....but if the panthers D can step up again and hold tiki for 100 or less...i think the panthers have a legit shot at really making the giants look bad...like a double digit win

1/2/2006 3:07:36 AM

Giants play pretty well at home. No way chris simms plays well enough to beat the skins D, much less the bears. Ill be rooting for anyone other than the colts.

1/2/2006 3:29:46 AM

^chris simms already put 36 on the redskins defense

there the one team he probably has the most confidence in playing

1/2/2006 3:36:31 PM

colts > everyone



pretty soon they'll have to make a super nfl just for them...

1/2/2006 4:03:18 PM

i feel confident against the panthers

1/2/2006 7:45:08 PM

I feel confident against the Giants considering that Eli is the QB. He is gonna have a miserable day.


Then again, I don't really like the matchup of Umenyiora against Travelle Wharton. In the games that the Panthers lost, Delhomme got blindsided repeatedly. Demarcus Ware singlehandedly won the game for the Cowboys.

1/2/2006 7:48:34 PM

Except when SD rolls into town and hands them a loss eh?

1/2/2006 7:49:57 PM

if pittsburgh will actually blitz against the colts (they didnt even blitz the lions much though), then i think they can win. if cincy beats pittsburgh though, that paves the way for another pats super bowl easy. (cincy beats indy, pats destroy cincy).

i think pittsburgh beats cincy though.

1/2/2006 8:25:02 PM

Cincy cannot beat either the Steelers or the Colts. And yes, I know they beat the Steelers earlier this year. But the Playoffs are different. Cincy cannot stop the run. Lately Pittsburgh has been steamrolling everybody. Even though Roethlesburger played like dogshit, they still beat Detroit handily.

Steelers/Colts will be a hell of a matchup. The Colts have lost their aura of invincibility, and the Steelers look like the heavyweight team they were at the start of the year. They are still kind of soft against the pass, though. Peyton will take advantage of that like he did in the first matchup.

My big "upset" pick is the Jags over the Pats. The Pats are always tough in January, but this year the Jags just have more talent and more motivation.

1/2/2006 8:48:01 PM

nah, they dont even know who their quarterback is. it sounds like they plan on starting leftwich, who hasnt taken a snap after breaking his ankle 5 or so weeks ago. i don't think it matters who the qb is, they will not beat the pats. i think the steelers would beat the pats if they play, but i don't know that they will make it that far.

1/2/2006 8:50:41 PM

I think the Pats are *gasp* overrated. They played a pussy schedule this year. Belichick will have them prepared, but their pass-rush will be semi-neutralized by the mobile Jags QB (whoever it is).

1/2/2006 8:52:58 PM

If cincy can score 45 touchdowns against the steelers, I think they will win. If not, they might not. I think the pats can win it all if they don't allow their opponents to score any points. Indy make the Super Bowl if everyone wears a black armband and Barry Sanders comes out of retirement, but not to play, only to stand on the sidelines. If the Panthers return every kick for a touchdown, look for them to win the Super Bowl, but only if Seattle doesn't score on every play and if Jesus doesn't suit up for the Redskins.

1/2/2006 8:53:09 PM

the talk about the steelers is more of a discussion than a prediction.

fine here are my predictions

AFC
Pats def Jags
Steelers def Bengals

Pats def Broncos
i'm still including an if though:
IF the steelers blitz a lot, Steelers def Colts
otherwise, Colts def Steelers

depending on above game:
Steelers def Pats
OR
Pats def Colts

NFC
Panthers def Giants
Bucs def Redskins

Seahawks def Panthers
Bucs def Bears

Seahawks def Bucs

Superbowl
Steelers or Pats def Seahawks 24-13

ahahaha gg

1/2/2006 9:05:50 PM

And no matter how many of those were wrong, I'd STILL win.

What's up, quitter?

1/2/2006 10:15:47 PM

yall are retarded if you think the bucs will beat the skins

1/2/2006 10:18:20 PM

yeah....the bucs aren't gonna beat the skins again...the skins are playing better than when they played earlier

1/2/2006 10:41:29 PM

Stickin to my original pick, Denver vs. Seattle.

Um, Cincy already did [beat the steelers]. And they came a hell of a lot closer to beating the Colts than the Steelers did.

1/2/2006 11:14:20 PM

^^ you mean the same deadskins that almost lost to the Koy Detmer and the Eagles, right?

they were getting thier asses kicked until halfway through the 4th quarter.

They suck, they'll choke, Portis will do terrible in the playoffs, Brunell will throw 1902735280 interceptions, and Santana Moss will be sintuple (a very high number) teamed on every play.

and whats with all of you people thinking that the Bucs will just waltz into Soldier Field in Mid-January and win with an bipolar offense and a severly inexperienced QB. They are unlike Chicago, Thier QB MUST make plays in order to win it all.

Chicago loses to Seattle in the NFC

Indy loses to New England in the AFC

Seattle somehow blows out the Patriots for the championship.

and thats.........the rest of the story.

[Edited on January 2, 2006 at 11:20 PM. Reason : you people]

1/2/2006 11:20:23 PM

I'm thinking Giants beat Panthers by 3, maybe 4.

Pittsburgh solidly beat Cincy by 10 on the road.

New England takes care of Jacksonville by 14.

Tampa beats Washington by 7.

1/2/2006 11:25:18 PM

Washington will beat Tampa. I'm callin that one.

yeah, the same team that's won 5 straight games and should have beat the Bucs in the first place minus that fucking retarded call giving them the 2pt conversion

1/2/2006 11:37:34 PM

My brain says:

AFC
Steelers def Bengals
Jags def Patriots

Colts def Steelers
Broncos def Jaguars

Colts def Broncos

NFC
Giants def Panthers
Redskins def Bucs

Seahawks def Redskins
Giants def Bears

Seahawks def Giants

Super Bowl

Colts def Seahawks 23-20


But....my heart says the Bengals are going to win it all!

1/3/2006 12:49:53 AM

^ your heart probably thinks 3+3= jello too

How do you figure?

Schedule (not including divisional games)
Oakland
@ Carolina
@ Pittsburgh
San Diego
@ Atlanta
@ Denver
Indianapolis
New Orleans
@ Kansas City
Tampa Bay

5 playoff teams and San Diego, Atlanta, and KC all were alive going into the final two weeks of the season.


As for he mobile Jags QB, they are talking about starting Leftwich who is coming back a bit early from a broken ankle. I'm sure they'll find a way to test that ankle too.

1/3/2006 11:18:42 AM

hey Turnip, why don't you post the results from your little formula.

Leftwich had 48 speed in Madden, the slowest in the game

Hopefully that dude was talkin about David Garrad b/c Leftwich is a classic drop-back passer and is very slow.

1/16/2006 12:06:31 AM

*hopefully*

Yeah ok the Jags didn't expose the Pats, but the Broncos did.

Good to see that FeebleMinded was way off this year.

i picked steelers over seahawks

2/6/2006 2:41:19 AM

cmon, where is Lil G to say how horrible i am at making predictions now?

2/7/2006 1:48:39 PM

You didn't pick Steelers over Seahawks, dumbass. Look back at your post. You can't count "OR"'s and "if this, then"'s.

Add those in and you STILL can't beat a coin.

Quitter.

2/7/2006 7:49:12 PM

i see you got 2/11 correct. thats about 18% success rate.

gg.

2/8/2006 1:42:11 AM

its not like i said "if pittsburgh beats indy" though. it was "if they blitz, they WILL beat indy" and thats what happened.

2/8/2006 1:47:45 AM

Hahaha, "If Pittsburgh plays defense and scores more points than Indy then they'll win."

That's weak. You were trying to cover yourself. You can't use "if"'s when making predictions, fag.

2/8/2006 7:08:49 AM

i can do whatever the fuck i want to, asshole

2/8/2006 7:12:38 AM

Yeah, you can apparently quit, too, after things aren't going your way.

I'm sure you'll make it real far in life, quitter.

You won't be able to find a decent job after you quit your first five mediocre jobs, quitter.

2/8/2006 6:49:34 PM
