I believe you're the only one here (I didn't bother to go back and check).

Are you really surprised?

Colts over Jets
Ravens over Chiefs
Saints over Seahawks
Packers over Eagles

Out of curiosity why is everyone so bent out of shape when they pick Green Bay over Philly? I'd think you'd rather have the Saints when Brees is throwing up picks at a crazy high rate rather than the Eagles and Vick.

We've beaten Vick. Brees and the Saints are the defending Champions. I'd much rather face Vick and the Eagles.

Why bent out of shape when BEARS Fans pick the PACKERS??? Oh I dont know... Maybe...Just Maybe... Because we cant stand the fucking Packers?? lol

They didn't have a stellar home record this year so I can't give them the home edge. I think NOLA is beatable but they have too much experience not to give them the nod here.

Colts (Depends on which Indy team shows up, if Peyton stays clean Colts win big)
Ravens (This game is a lock in my opinion)
Saints (Again this game is a lock)
Packers (Tight game but Packers are on fire right now on both sides of the ball)

Call me crazy, but I don't see the Saints going into Seattle and dominating the Seahawks. Qwest Field brings out the ugly in teams...not to mention you have to run the ball in the playoffs and the Saints backfield hasn't done a great job of that...

Crowd noise + Brees' most INTs of his career + no Saints run game + serviceable Whitehurst/maybe Matt H. = a very very close game.

I think the Bears could easily draw the Seahawks...as I think the Pack will roll the Eagles....

I'll worry about the AFC in February.

Says who? The Colts and Saints seemed fine last season by ditching the running game. Yes I know the Saints ran the ball effectively in the regular season but it slowed down in the post season and they rode the arm of Drew Brees to a Superbowl.

That's all fine and dandy when you've got the number 1 and 2 quarterbacks in the league (in the respective year)...but the way Brees played this year (not poorly, just a lot of INTs), they are going to need to be able to run the ball.

Not to mention BOTH those teams had home field advantage in DOMES last year. It's hard to throw the ball in cold windy January. I'm not saying it can't be done...but good luck chucking the pill 80 times in Seattle and Chicago over the next two weeks....

Let's also not forget that as good as Brees was vs. the Vikings he still threw for under 200 yards, despite his 3 TDs, and that was BARELY enough to win (thank you, Brett Favre).

Like I said, call me crazy....but the Saints don't have the scheme you want for a January game in Seattle/Chicago....I think Seattle wins close and low scoring.

Tell that to Tom Brady...

I don't think the Saints are a lock anymore.
