I'm sorry Steeler fans, I REALLY want to support you on this, but I can't with any honesty pick the Steelers over the Colts...

And yes, I think there will be a Patties upset over the Broncos.

Steelers have a chance if;  their running game is on and they commit ZERO turnovers.  Other than that, it is going to be possibly the toughest game this Steelers team has faced.  9.5 DOGS going into Indy is not a great feeling.  Just hope Indy is a little rusty with 3 weeks off...

I know Brady is 10-0 in the playoffs, but that team is so banged up, if their division wasn't so bad they would have never made the playoffs.  I like Denver to run on the Pats Defense, and in Denver that isn't difficult as long as T.Bell is healthy.

The other two games, Seattle should be able to blank the 'Skins' and IMO out of all the games, Carolina has the best chance for an upset against the Bears.  Not sure who was in those uniforms last week but they looked good againsts the Giants.

Washington is getting pretty lucky...and they have a bunch of injuries...and the bandaids have to breaking soon

Man I hope New England Loses...sometimes their fans can get obnoxious....I feel Shanahan and his Offense will run up the score and will not allow the NE pathetic offense to catch up...

Colts...Well...they are on a destiny thing this year...Are they better...I dunno...But Peyton is form New Orleans.,...

Chicago is one lucky team.... probably the worst offense yet winning...Ravens did it though didn't they?  but I think the Panthers are a good team this year and had their injuries early in season... Plus Delhome is from Breaux Bridge Louisiana...hehehe

Of the three NFC teams left... Redskins, Bears and Panthers, it's the Panthers that worry me the most. They look very dangerous.

Not Seattle?  Everyone picks them to walk to the Big Dance?

Steelers played the Bears in week 14.  At that time the Bears were #1 in defense, then again they were in the weakest division in the NFL and at that time they had only played two teams with an above .500 record...not saying much.  That is probably the biggest difference between them and with Baltimore in '01. 

Just hope the Steelers defense shows up and our linebackers can get to Manning.  We were able to get to him last year, but this year they are a completly different team.

jagangjee,

m00n is a Seattle fan - so of course, he's worried about everyone else posing a threat to his team.

I see m00n's going with the home teams this week - and I think that's pretty good advice. After 3 of 4 road teams won last week, I expect the rested "homers" to do much better this week. The exception is New England: I'm picking them over the Broncos - but I'm taking all of the other home teams this week.
