I’m rooting for New England and Chicago to make it to the Super Bowl, but more than likely the NFC Champion will either be Philadelphia or Green Bay. TGO

Great post here, loved the read. Anyways, I disagree with your NFC Champs cuz first of all the Saints sure got an easy first round matchup getting to face the Seahawks at home. They haven’t played that well all season, at least in relative terms to last season, but I think that they have a shot to make a run at the Super Bowl. Obviously they shouldn’t have it as tough as other wild card teams as they have to play the Seahawks, but they are also in the been there, done that kind of place, which gives them a big edge over teams like the Bears and Packers. It should be a very interesting NFL playoffs as no one has showed themselves to be favourites this season.Also, you think you could check out my blog cuz I would love to hear what you have to say. http://chrisross91.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/dont-forget-about-us/
I agree with your assessment. The Saints definitely could make a run in the playoffs and win it all; they just haven’t been consistent this year. They’ve also had too many injuries.
As it stands right now, I believe the Patriots must be the clear favorite to win it all.
I’ll check out your Blog.
