3. TN over KC?
I don't think so.

KC vs Philly in the Super Bowl.

Philly wins, 27-20.

Broncos are my team, but I have trouble imagining them recovering from this week's game sufficiently to take the Colts again.

5. TN over KC - Absolutely!
What does KC feature most? Priest Holmes. TN has the best run defense in the league. Those two just about cancel each other out. When you look at the rest of each team, you see that TN clearly has the edge in that matchup. (That is not to argue that TN is a better team, just that they match up well against KC.)

7. Sorry, Bertha, but you have a problem...
If Baltimore (4 seed) and Indy (3 seed) both win in the first round, KC (2 seed) will play Indy and NE (1 seed) will play Baltimore.

9. well, like I said,
I don't know much about football, so I'm not surprised I mucked something up. So then KC will just have to beat Indy earlier; NE will beat Baltimore, and KC will beat NE.

Or do I still have it wrong? No matter what, it's the Chiefs all the way....

12. As much as I hate the Packers
I have to say that they have a better than even shot of going to the Super Bowl this year. On the Chicago morning sports station the commentators were all saying that they thought GB would go all the way. That's a hard thing for a Bears fan to conceive. Now I'm gonna puke. :puke: See? I told you so.
