    I like PIT coming out of the AFC. However, I don't like their chances against a stout defense. So, my way-too-early prediction is Seattle over Pittsburgh.

    They will have a better chance with Dak. Dak makes way better decisions at the line!

    Alrighty then. This thread is now a month old and more relevant.

    Bronco & Lurksalot---still feel the same?
    Dimeman---looks like you are right thus far
    Justacommeman---more than likely

    Season is midway and baseball is over, Football anyone?

    NFC is the weaker conference this year. I'm going to say NE vs Dallas, just so DM can give Garrett some credit as a HC, lol..

    Seattle may not even make the playoffs let alone the Super Bowl.

    It pains me to say but I think the Hawks will win their division and not much beyond. Only a offensive line miracle would change that.
    I'm leaning more towards a NE vs Dallas at this point. Don't see Atlanta there. I can't even find a dark horse beyond that in the NFC

    Seattle plays in a pretty weak division so they may be ok.

    I live in Atlanta (well, 80 miles east of Atlanta), but not a Falcons fan. I went online to check tix cost...wow...for "decent" seats you're looking at $5-800+, so, I'll be watching on the tube. Great seats are 5 figures, up!
    I'm pulling for Green Bay, I think Rodgers will take the win, his skills are just too good.

    BIG Pats fan, Brady will take the win...given the poor performance of the Steelers in KC.

    I'm seeing a Green Bay - Pats SB, with Pats taking the win...we'll see.

    I am the biggest Pats fan but I honestly have little faith in them winning the Super Bowl, I hope they get there and win but the Steelers are tough and either winner I believe will face the Falcons who are firing off on all cylinders, they got 2 really good backs and Matt Ryan is having an insane season. The Packers defense gives up too much against Atlanta to beat them in a shoot out.

    I know the Pats were/are/always will be chalky, but that wasn't a bad little prediction with ATL. I think they were 6-3 on Nov 5.

    Did you put any $ on that?

    I have Atlanta outright. NE is hard to bet. But I wish I did now!

    I did do well on the season wins over/under ( a group of us bet this every year on a Vegas binge trip)

    Had Bears under 7.5, Atlanta over 7.5, Lions over 7.0, Miami over 7.0 , Raiders over 8.5 , Philly over 6.5. Lost on Ravens over 8.5

    Just think how much you could have made on Dallas over 12.5!

    Dallas's over under wins for the season was 8. One of our group begged us to bet the under. We have since voted him off of the Island. Next year we will tell him we are going to Vegas on a different weekend

    Ryan isn't going to do anything in the super bowl , he is a dome QB that means he is soft.

    zippcityzippcity Posts: 888 ✭✭✭✭

    Atlanta vs G. Bay game has the potential to be a shootout , Atlanta has the better backfield with both backs able to take it to the house on a short pass or run, Julio Jones (Toe) could be a significant factor in the outcome. Green Bay has the superior receiving core , especially with J.Nelson back. Both QB's have had stellar years, Atlanta's D has stepped up somewhat the last 6 weeks, G. Bay DEF is a ? . Longshot Christian Michael could be the surprise , kinda shocked he hasn't played in the backfield more. "Should" be a great game. Only time will tell, get your popcorn. Winner takes the big dance.

    NRG stadium is as good as a dome with a retractable roof. I think the turf is synthetic. Ryan may be soft- I don't know him but he seems to take some huge hits and bounces right back. There is no debating he is having an incredible season. One thing I've learned about the Falcons over the past -what's it been- 52 years? is that they will find a way to break your heart.

    If I remember correctly Atlanta has not won a Superbowl (and it has played in only one Superbowl, losing in 1999 to Denver).

    So I vote for the Falcons to win and claim their first title.

    Both games could go either way imo, I think it will come down to defense in the Falcons/Packers game. The steelers/patriots game will come down to if the steelers shot themselves in the foot, I think its theirs to loose. JMO

    My pick for the superbowl game is...

    I have not seen much of the Falcons this year but I have seen Aaron Rodgers. He seems unbeatable. Of the four teams left I will be pulling for the Steelers however I don't see them beating the Patriots. The super Bowl should come down to who is the better QB this year. That does not mean how they rate for all time, however this year I think Rodgers takes the trophy back to Green Bay.

    Congrats to NE, ATL and their fans, but Dal-GB & KC-Pitt aside, that was about the least compelling set of playoff games I can ever remember:

    13, 20, 18, 25, 16, 18, 3, 2, 23, 19

    When you're watching Raptors-Suns while the AFC C-game is going on, something is definitely amiss.

    Looks like teams may be even considering the pt. spread. But I'll give the edge to NE only because of SB head coach/player experience. Been there,done that before. Atl. only second year head coach. Will have to adjust to all the hype/hoopla/distractions experience that surrounds SB during the 2 week wait. Just hope neither team gets a 3AM false fire alarm at their hotel ala Pittsburgh. Good luck to all involved.
