- Get one for sure with Raiders/Broncos. Big game for the Raiders, but Carr out/McGloin in is a huge wild-card. I think the Scranton Scrapper will be OK, but could be an ugly game. Will the Denver defense outscore the offense again?
Denver's offense showed up after being MIA the last 3 weeks. :D Losing #2 QB McGloin and the 'bye' week doesn't bode well for the Raiders.

- Gotta figure Pittsburgh gets a win here, but could something weird happen since this is essentially a meaningless game for them?
Pittsburgh rested several key players and still managed to eke out a win after falling behind early. :D

- The Cowboys beat the Eagles any other week, but this is another meaningless game. I'm surprised that they're 5.5 point 'dogs, though.
Opening lines were mixed, so evidently some sports books found out early the Plowboys were going to play Sanchez for most of the game. :evil:

- Packers/Lions will be a good one. Hopefully, the Pack takes care of business.
They did. :D

- Chiefs are obvious favorites, but I still think (hope) the Chargers are capable of an upset - even after last week's debacle.
Chargers got off to a good start, but the Chiefs were too much for them. :(

- I wouldn't pick the Jets over anyone the way they're playing the last month of the season, but the Bills made a "business decision" to sit their QB, and they're playing their first game after firing Rex, so anything could happen here, too.

And it did - JR's Jets won! :D

Our teams went 4-3 for a grand total of 15, so you're the WINNER.

Winning one would be their first Divisional playoff win in 21 years. My how time flies... :lol:

Probably too much to ask for a playoff win but I'm crossing my fingers... :ugeek:

Well, we know the 'boys first opponent will be the #6 Lions if they upset the #3 Seahawks on Saturday. Otherwise, they will play the winner of Sunday's #4 Packers vs #5 Giants game.

C'mon Battle, quit setting the bar so low and tell us what you're really thinking... e.g. the Cowboys margin of victory in the Super Bowl.

It would be nice to see an old fashion Cowboys vs Steelers Super Bowl again. I take the Cowboys by 10.... :o :D

I hit my number, but it certainly didn't get there the way I thought it would. I had our three AFCW teams winning six or seven, and they won three combined. Even worse, two of those three wins were head to head match-ups. :oops:

I'll take some underdogs in the playoffs:

Wildcard[:/b]

Raiders. This is strictly an emotional decision, not an intellectual one. This team falls apart when Carr isn't on the field (defense and special teams included.

Seahawks

Pittsburgh

Giants

[b]Divisional:


Pats

Pitt

Cowboys

Falcons

Conference and SB:

Cowboys over NE 28 - 27

I guess it was too much to ask the Chargers to win a couple of games. :lol: Well McCoy is gone now. I think we could have made waves this year if we made a change sooner.
