Nice job Zand. Did you change your SD-Indy pick because of Antonio Gates injury or because SD just didn't look that impressive?

 

[Paul]

Man, I am teh suck at the AFC. In my defense, I picked Tenn before they lost their wideout to a broken ankle.

 

[Zand]

Nah... I was thinking back to the Colts/Chargers game in November and din't remember it correctly. I remembered it being a blowout, but after looking back at the game it was the one where Manning threw 6 interceptions and Indy still only lost by 2... and they would've won if Vinatieri didn't miss the game winning FG from 30 yards out. And yes... SD is getting hurt and not doing so well (Sunday's game was pathetic for both teams... I think Cleveland would've won if they were in it).

I'm also a little shaky on both NFC teams. Green Bay should be all right at home but Dallas really struggled in that last game with their starters in. I'll stick with Dallas but if this were confidence points it would be at the bottom of the pile.

Well the good news for Dallas is Jessica Simpson will not be attending the game, its hard to beat a team 3times in one year though especially one in your own division.

 

[Zand]

Well, I made a mistake in not going with my gut for the Indy game, and like I said for Dallas, that was my least confident pick. Here's through the Super Bowl:

San Diego at New England: New England (Rivers and LT freeze faster than Jack Nicholson in The Shining)
New York at Green Bay: Green Bay (Favre is something like 45-3 in home games below 34 degrees)

Superbowl XXXI rematch: New England (We don't have to watch Bledsoe throw 4 picks this time)

 

[Brettski]

Not if my namesake throws a bunch of picks and Eli is flawless

 

[andyzee]

Giants in the Super Bowl, who would've thought

 

[Zand]

I'll stick with the Pats... Wilfork will poke Eli in the eye on the first play and Eli being the crybaby that he is (just like his brother) will sit the rest of the game.

Actually, it should be good, but Brady will be flawless indoors.

 

[andyzee]

Has a wildcard team won the Super Bowl before? I think the Giants could actually do it.

I bet the Pats would have preferred playing the Packers.

 

[wintersyndrome]

If the last week of the regular season is any indicator this Super bowl should be fun.

GO BIG BLUE!!!

Tough Odds
Since the Wild-Card System began in 1970, only eight wild-card teams have advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. Of those, only four won the Super Bowl.

One of the Wild Card teams to make the Superbowl were the Patriots and they lost in 1985.

And yes, the Steelers won in 2005
