predictions NFL

[demodan]

Well lets talk football...would you all laugh if I said Packers will be in the Superbowl...they are going crush Atlanta this weekend. Look out for the cheese heads...

[walkeraviator]

Yeah I will laugh at that. They have no answer in their secondary for roddy white.

[Redskeeter]

Laugh I will, besides the PATRIOTS are going to win it all.

I will go one step farther and say Green Bay WINS the Super Bowl. I am not a huge NFL fan but I look at sports like horse races and try and find the horses with excuses that run a bad race to come back and run big races. In Green Bay's instance, they started out the year 3-3 with 2 OT losses with some injuries to some key people. Then Rodgers goes down for the count and they throw in a clunker against Detroit and play a very good game to lose a close one to New England. That makes 5 losses with decent excuses, inuries in 3 of them (with 2 of these losses in OT) and then Matt Flynn subbing for Rodgers in the last 2 losses. Played the Falcons close in Atlanta losing by only 3, plus turned the tables on Chicago the last game of the season. The Packers are peaking at the right time. If this was a horse race then New England would be the favorite at 8-5 with Atlanta one of the favorites at 4-1 and Green Bay would be a nice juicy 8-1 or better and I would take those odds all day long.

I don't care for New England but think they will win it all. Brady is that good.

Almost verbatim what I was gonna say, along with one of Brady's main target's is former UofL Great Dieon Branch,,,,,,,Booyah.

I hate the Pats, but dang they are good.

I see the Packers winning in the ATL, but I am not ready to say they win the big trophy just yet. I think the Patriots have to be the favorites. I am not a Pats fan, but I want them to put a beat down on the Jets and foot fetish Rex. Shut up already.

My main NFL prediction for the year has already come true - Eagles win the division then lose the first round of the playoffs. Packers in the Super Bowl, let alone winning, does give me a chuckle. To stretch Elnut's analogy, they're a claiming horse moving up into stakes company, who just beat a broke-down Philly team. IF they squeak by Atlanta (a very big IF), they get pounded at Soldier Field. I say it'll be an AFC team winning the Super Bowl, most likely the Pats. Ravens with make the AFC Championship game, and give the Patriots a run for their money.

My prediction is the winner of Baltimore vs Pittsburgh will make it to the bowl to play Atlanta.

[walkeraviator]

I look at it this way. In the AFC, nobody expect the Jets to beat the Pats.. so pats move on. BUt in that Baltimore/Pittsburgh game lies the possibility for the most grinding low scoring game of the year. These defenses are insane! I pick Baltimore to beat Pittsburgh, which is a shame, because the Steelers have the secondary that can actually give Brady at least a little bit of a challenge. But again I am with everyone who sees Brady taking his team to the big game.

As for the NFC, Bears beat Seachickens. And Atlanta beats Green Bay (who has played beyond their actual talent too long and their time has come)... ATL beats NE in Super Bowl. My week 6 projection and i am stickin to it.

Remember Lava Man? He was a claiming horse that you could have bought for $12,500 in a Maiden Claiming Race early in his life. Ended up winning just about all the big races for classic graded horses plus $5.2Million lifetime. The Packers are going to be the next great claimer to beat the big boys starting this weekend.
