    Chicago giving 8 and a half?!

    And I can't imagine anyone giving the Pats more than 3 in a playoff game at this point. Especially if they put Belichick in at tackle :D
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    All go with the birds going 3-0 and the Pats. Philly and Ravens SB, Ravens win (Thus causing even more pain to the philly fans)

Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Colts v Bears? Seriously? The Colts showed they can have a D, but I dont think there's enough of it there to get them to the Super Bowl. And the Bears won't have enough of an O. I see San Diego and.... someone in the SB. Either Philly or NO I guess.

    Bears will not make the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman. After the Green Bay Packers shellacked the Bears Rex went on to say:

    "And the situation was," Grossman explained, "I felt like I was going to play about a half, and it was the last game, and it was New Year's Eve... there were so many factors that brought my focus away from what is actually important..."

    What a winner. Chicago has such a great team with a very good coach, but this **** bag needs to be thrown under a bus...fast.

    Sunday's weather here in Chicago may come into play as it is expected to be snow and sleet with a moderate NE wind (crosswind for kickers) and windchills in the teens. It may come down to who can run the ball better....

    Seahawks can play in bad weather, Holmgren was the coach in Green Bay for years, and Hasslebeck was Favre's back-up there. They can win if they constantly blitz the Chicago offense. The game will come down to turnovers, IMO.

    Now when you guys are making your picks are they based on the spread or who you think will actually win the game?

    Regrettably I have not watched the Bears play since the middle of the season so I don't have the best feel for what the Seahawks are heading into this week. I do not think weather will be a factor for them though. Its been pretty crappy for Seattle this year. Lots of snow, rain and strong wind.

    Beyond that I like the Chargers, Colts and Eagles to win.

    Well, Shiznits, the Bears got their asses kicked by the Packers in their last game, and played all of their starters nearly the whole game. This same Bears team almost lost to the Lions the week before. You guys really should be just fine..... :D

    It really depends on what Bears team decides to show up this weekend. :confused:

    Good points on the Bears, fans my be in denial. These places with constant **** weather - put a dam roof on your stadium. I just don't get it. :confused: And the "its a disadvantage to the teams that don't play in bad weather", thats straight up BS. :rolleyes:
    Many think that Colts have a chance......ouch!!!!

    As a Pats fan, I hope you're right... but I'm not that confident.

    I think whoever wins Pats/Chargers wins it all though.

    A patriot is not a bird and therefore that cannot happen.

    Wow! I cant believe the Colts pulled it off. I thought for sure Baltimore would win.

    Thats just fine with me tho. Ive never liked McNair, even when he was with Tennessee. Seemed like he was ALWAYS getting hurt.

    The Colts are the only team Im really pulling for but I just dont think theyre going to make it. I actually think theyre on borrowed time right now! Manning just seems to choke in playoffs and he's doing it again! He's thrown 5 interceptions in the last 2 games. He only threw like 9 all season long!

    agreed. Manning just can't get it done in the playoffs. The colt's defense however was on fire today. It seemed everytime there was a pass to a ravens reciever, there was at least three white jersey right on him. I was very impressed.

    Colts offense needs to start producing if they even want to think of beating the chargers or patriots.
