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.
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.
