He's going to be at the Patriots, while Denver hosts the Chargers, who beat them in Denver not too long ago.
SF at Carolina and Saints at Seahawks.
All of these games could be toss ups imo, even the seahawks game, which should open with the biggest line.
I will go... Pats, Denver, SF, Seahawks. I would have gone 1-2 last week if i had bet thought so what do i know?

Well, I'm 2-2 so far in the playoffs this year. Although, I really should've picked SD over Cinci...
My picks for next weekend:
All home teams win. But, I realize how rare that usually is, so if that doesn't hold true, then I'll take SF over Carolina, and a close came in Foxboro, but my gut still wants to stay with NE.
If the weather forecast holds up, Payton will be playing in 40-50F weather this time... Although SD beat Denver earlier this season, I can't see Denver losing this game.
SF vs. Carolina should also be a very close game...
We all remember Monday night in Seattle a few weeks ago vs. NO (hehe) BUT - even without my bias, I don't see Seattle losing this game either.
Good matchups all the way around!
...Will we see SF vs. Seattle in the NFC championship...?

Two words...Who Dat!
the damn bengals-bolts game killed my parlay! so far in the playoffs im 3 for 4 ats and 0 for 1 on over/unders...I nearly added the over for colts chiefs but took it off of my bet slip at the last minute...wouldn't have mattered anyways lol bolts D really showed up in cinci and #18AJ was a non-factor
Ill take the saints @ +8, I honestly feel like seattle will win this one but not by the margin that they did earlier in the season and fwiw GO SAINTS! fuck the shecocks in their little bird asses and bring the nfc championship to the stick one last time!...OVER(the total)
btw...how many lombardi's are in seattle?!?
I'll take the colts again @ +7.5, new england is always a contender but they're missing too many pieces(mainly gronk) to totally blow out the comeback kid and the colts! talib-hilton is gonna be the match-up that determines this one imho. fwiw i can honestly see either team getting the W in this one but i think it gets decided by a td or less
I think my 9ers will do it again...loss to panthers @ home was by 1 pt...before crabtree came back(read: before the niners started rolling on offense). Steve smith coming off an injury. this one will really come down to coaching, D, & ST...panthers have had a dominant D all season...turnovers could easily decide this one. GO NINERS! Quest For Six!
San diego is my official DARK HORSE. Upset alert! I'll take diego until the team to play philly week 1 goes to the superbowl algorithm proves me wrong lol but seriously they already beat em @ home, it's only getting colder and we all know what that means for peyton...Scary game nonetheless but I'm all about betting against peyton in the playoffs.

Now it appears that Green Bay might have been hosed again by the refs. Even now their is nobody that totally knows how the situation should be interpreted.
When GB scored and then kicked off to San Fran the kick returner hd the ball bounce off him and unto the ground then he batted it out of bounds through the back of the endzone. I thought at the time it should have been a safety and San Fran would have to free kick to the Packers. At the very least it would be a 10 yard batting penalty and the drive would start at the 10 yard line which could have made a big difference.
Now some say it was a safety, some say 10 yard line and some say Packers rekick from 10 yards up from original kick (which makes no difference then).
If you read the NFL rule book though it does say a ball can not be batted in the endzone in any direction and results in a safety.
On a kickoff if the ball hits the ground in the endzone before being touched by the receiver it is automatically dead and a touchback. If the ball is touched by the receiver and goes to the ground the receiver must gain possession and return it or take a knee for a touchback.
The ball hit the receiver and went to the ground and then he batted it out of the endzone.
I think the 49ers might have gotten away with one in this instance.
As for Colts at Patriots...... BRING IT!

Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari put on a holding clinic at times, the 49ers got away with an illegal bat on a fourth-quarter kickoff, and Rodgers’ amazing artistry on his fourth-quarter completion to Randall Cobb shouldn’t have even happened, because center Evan Dietrich-Smith was clearly and egregiously holding McDonald on the play.
Are you kidding me ? G.B. getting hosed ? In The Steelers game the ref's did everything in their power to give them that win and it didn't even help them at least 10 terrible calls went their way since week 16 and they couldn't do a damn thing with them they hosed themselves cause it was pretty obvious to anyone without homer glasses on that the NFL and the ref's really wanted G.B. in the playoffs.....And that ko you're talking about didn't happen at all like you said the ball hit the ground at the 5 yrd line and rolled all the way to the back of the end zone without touching or being touched by anyone then was just batted out of bounds, it's legal and it's a touchback
Even if it didn't hit him he still can't bat the ball out of the endzone. Go look at the rules.
About the Steelers. No team in the history of the NFL owes more to the refs than the Steelers. There were so many against just the Colts let alone the rest of the league.
Off the top of my head the 96 AFC Championship. Kordell Stewart went out of the back of the endzone, right in front of a ref, came back in and caught the TD pass. Plus BAM BAM never crossed the goal line.
Super Bowl XL the Seattle Seahawks got the biggest hosing in the history of the NFL ALL GAME LONG. Everybody but Steeler fans know it too.
Super Bowl XLIII the Arizona Cardinals got hosed.
I could give dozens of examples. Next up would be the Patriots. The Packers are only 3rd in my opinion.

can you imagine the AFC quake if the Chargers beat Denver & Bengals beat N.E.? Bookies would die.

It'd be nice to see more of this....Gore is one of my favorite 9er running backs of all time. That block was KEY!!!
It's a game of inches!!! (there was an offsides call on this attempt...which was declined by the 9ers...obviously)
HB.
