Ian, my 1-3 isn't much better than your 0-4 as the only team I got right had to come back from 28 points to win.

Tomorrow the Colts win and the Saints take it in an upset. Niners and Bengals advance too.


Three out of four aint bad Prescott!

No, road team won every game except Indy

Also, teams from the better divisions won every game except Indy

I was 2 of 4

Status: offline 		Going forward, I am current rooting for Carolina and Chargers in the Superbowl.

After the Vikings are out...since they were never in it doesn't matter.

First I want the Packers ousted...check
Patriots ousted...hopefully next week...but probably have to wait.
Cowboys ousted....like the Vikes never made it in.

So outside of the Patriots losing, I want the teams that have the fewest SB titles.  Right now, that Carolina or Seattle and San Diego since none have a title.  After them it comes down to least recent title...Which would be the 49ers, Then Broncos, then Colts then Saints. 

So I want the remaining teams ousted in the following order
Patriots
Saints
Colts
Broncos
Seahawks
Panthers
Chargers

Rooting for the Chargers/Panthers Superbowl because I want two teams in there that I really wouldn't mind winning it all.
All the other teams can suck it.

I generally don't give a rat's patootie although I lean NFC, #1 I don't want Seattle I guess my list would be:

Seahawks
Saints
49ers
Panthers
Chargers
Patriots
Broncos
Colts

I might have rated the Chargers as more of a favorite, but if they win, then that reduces the list of teams that have never won the SB.

Hmm, weird that I generally favor the NFC, but my list turned out with all 4 AFC teams preferred to the NFC teams

The Colts might be good enough, but their defense was pretty soft against KC. The league might prefer Manning or Brady in the SB as they are getting up there in age, whereas Luck will likely have many other chance in the future. OTOH, maybe it's Luck's time to shine, and they probably feel like they can overcome any lead. OTOH, Buffalo probably felt that way the year they made the largest comeback in playoff history, but they didn't win the SB.

The bountygate playoff game cost us a SB

I had to relook cause that was a WTF moment.

You have to flip their lists. Both have NO as 2nd LEAST favorite.

There are different types of "running" QBs

Guys like Kaepernick, Wilson, etc run smart. They know how to slide and run out of bounds and don't take many big hits. heck, Andrew Luck is in this category also as he ran for over 350 yards and 4 TDs this year.

Then there are the daredevil runners like RGIII and Vick - they are the guys who get busted up from running.

Cam Newton is the exception because he has the size to take a few hits - as long as they are not in the knee like Culpepper took

I hope it's Broncos-49ers. The 49ers are the best team IMO and have a great squad with arguably the best coach. I want to see Peyton in the SB to really solidify his legacy as the GOAT. If it does happen hopefully it doesn't turn out like the previous SB between those teams.

A Seahawks-49ers NFCCG and Broncos-Pats AFCCG would be a treat for all.

It was the NFC CG - let's not pretend for one minute that they got some advantage because of that

This is not the Patriots spying

People still on that. Of course that was part of it but you have to ignore a lot of shit to just run that one up the flagpole.

Lucky the guy was still in the game. Ponder wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes. Of course they wouldn't be trying to take Ponder out of the game. Bad plan.


There were other options and Favre ****ed up. Beyond silly to just hold onto that (the INT) IMO.
