Here's my picks:

AFC WC: Steelers over Ravens and Colts over Bengals

NFC WC: Cowboys over Lions and Panthers over Cardinals

AFC Divisional: Broncos over Steelers and Patriots over Colts

NFC Divisional: Packers over Cowboys

Very BOLD prediction: Panthers over Seahawks

AFC Championship: Patriots over Broncos (Hope I'm wrong about this)

NFC Championship: Packers over Panthers

Super Bowl: Packers win.

If Bell is healthy for Steelers I think they could be only AFC team to beat the Pats. I am thinking AFCCG: Steelers vs Pats. NFCCG Cowboys vs Seahawks

 

[YankeeVol]

I think Detroit beats Dallas

 

[BearCat204]

AFC WC: Steelers over Ravens and Bengals over Colts

NFC WC: Lions over Cowboys and Panthers over Cardinals

AFC Divisional: Steelers over Broncos and Patriots over Bengals

NFC Divisional: Packers over Lions Seahawks over Panthers

AFC Championship: Patriots over Steelers

NFC Championship: Seahawks over Packers

Super Bowl: Pats win.

 

[BearCat204]

I think Detroit beats Dallas

Only reason I am inclined to agree is that its a home game for the Cowboys and I think that gives the Lions an advantage as strange as that sounds.

 

[volfanbill]

WC winners: Steelers, Colts, Cowboys, Cardinals

Divisional: Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, Packers

Conf Champs: Patriots, Packers

Super Bowl: Patriots

 

[Vol knight]

People will call me crazy on this, but I don't think the Patriots are good enough this year to win it all.

 

[Panthro]

I'm predicting chalk for the first round.
AFC:
New England will beat Indy
Pitt will beat Denver
New England cruises to Super Bowl

NFC:
Seattle beats Carolina
Green Bay beats Dallas
Green Bay beats Seattle

Green Bay wins the Super Bowl

 

[Vol knight]

Well, we were all wrong about the Steelers.

 

[Dave1967]

Dallas Cowboys will beat the Detroit Lions 31-24 and the Cincinnati Bengals pull the upset and beat the Indianapolis Colts 27-24

I'm not picking the Bengals until they win a playoff game.

If the Colts lose do you think Luck will be hastled like Peyton Manning was about his performance in the Playoffs?

Some people will, but I think most people understand that he doesn't have a great team around him.

Starting to look like another 1 and done year for the bengals.

 

[TrueOrange]

I liked all the Bengals players just standing back up when they realized the Colts didn't have a play on 4th down and were just trying to get a jump offsides.

 

[Vol knight]

7 in a row for the Bengals. I'll be shocked if Lewis isn't fired in the next 24 hours.

7 in a row for the Bengals. I'll be shocked if Lewis isn't fired in the next 24 hours.

He shouldn't be IMO. 4 straight playoff trips is tough to do in Cincy. Not to mention their top 2 receivers didn't play today.

To me, going to the playoffs 4 times in a row and coming out with no wins is an indictment on the coach. Lewis has been their coach for a very long time. If he isn't fired, that tells me that Cincy is content with just making the playoffs.

 

[Dave1967]

Cowboys get to kick aryse and take Packer names.

 

[BearCat204]

Cowboys get to kick aryse and take Packer names.

Maybe they won't have the refs hand them the game this round.

That call changed the game.

 

[UTwild82]

That call changed the game.

Dallas scored a TD and stopped Detroit after that call. Bad call? Absolutely. Did that one call cost Detroit the game? Absolutely not.
