Running 2006-07 NFL Playoffs Thread

Not everyone.

 

Not that picks will be right, by any means, but here they are.

AFC WILD CARD
Colts over Chiefs
Patriots over Jets

AFC SEMIS
Chargers over Patriots
Colts over Ravens (this is personal, I cannot stand the Ravens)

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Chargers over Colts

NFC WILD CARD
Eagles over Giants
Cowboys over Seahawks

NFC SEMIS
Bears over Cowboys
Eagles over Saints

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Eagles over Bears

SUPER BOWL 41
Chargers over Eagles

 

all fans are the same

 

My picks (I have no rooting interest as a fan of a team looking ahead to April)

AFC Wild Card games
Chiefs over Colts
Jets over Pats

NFC Wild Card games
Seahawks over Cowboys
Eagles over Giants

AFC semis
Chargers over Chiefs
Ravens over Jets

NFC semis
Saints over Eagles
Bears over Seahawks

AFC title game
Ravens over Chargers

NFC title game
Bears over Saints

Super Bowl
Ravens over Bears

 

I can't recall less of a feeling of certainty about what I thought would happen in the playoffs. On Monday, I felt Chargers-Bears in the Bowl. Now I think neither.


Wild Card
AFC
Colts 23, Chiefs 20 OT
Patriots 17, Jets 16
NFC
Seahawks 20, Cowboys 16
Eagles 19, Giants 13
Divisional
AFC
Ravens 19, Colts 10
Chargers 23, Patriots 17

Seahawks 26, Bears 13
Saints 29, Eagles 14
Conference championships
Ravens 20, Chargers 17
Saints 31, Seahawks 13

Wow, you must really dislike the Seahawks because you have them beating the Bears, but then have the Saints and Eagles playing a rematch in the NFC title game.

 

Here's my pathetic attempt at picks:

Wild-Card
Chiefs 34, Colts 30
Cowboys 30, Seahawks 27
Jets 17, patriots 14
Eagles 24, Giants 20

Divisional
Cowboys 20, Bears 13
Chargers 31, Jets 14
Saints 27, Eagles 24
Ravens 10, Colts 7

AFC-NFC Championship Games
Saints 31, Cowboys 27
Chargers 21, Ravens 10

Super Bowl XLI
Saints 27, Chargers 20

 

Good to Herm Edwards with that creative play-calling on offense. Two three-and-outs, and the Colts will soon turn this into the blowout I thought it would be.

 

You don't understand.

He's PLAYING. To WIN. The GAME.

 

Pretty solid stop by the Chiefs to stay in the game. Better to be down 6-0 than 10-0.

 

this party is ooooooover. Herm has channeled Art Shell's offense.

 

whoops.. spoke too soon.. Ty Law lives
