I think very few expected the Chargers to be standing here, but it's going to be a different story against a defensive wall. I think a large part of this outcome may depend on Big Ben... he must get the offense above mediocre.

Eagles are rolling, but this is a divisional rival... Giants would be even more loathe to lose than they would against anyone else in this situation.

Ok, I didn't give the Cardinals the benefit of the doubt at home, but this time they're going east. This should be the end for them.

This is gonna be good... two teams of defensive brilliance. Hainesworth and Van den Bosch should be back. I've been a proponent of Baltimore all season, but I'm finding it hard to dismiss Tennessee after one game. Though certainly it should be no surprise that Baltimore got here or may go farther.

Unfortunately no ;)

31-17 Utah

Knew the party boys would come to play... it's a crime there isn't a playoff system right now.

47-34 Miss.

Who said the SEC was weak this year?

I'm not sure what the Jets expected, but they got exactly as expected - someone to put them in position to win the division plus less of an injury risk than Pennington. Does Jones really think they'd be there without Farve? Well, at least perhaps they'll realize that they mistreated and undervalued Pennington.

I think Farve is done. He doesn't have the benefit of a loyal following standing behind him and removing some of the blame from his shoulders. It has to hurt that his new fanbase and even his new teammates are already turning on him (but this is New York, he should have expected this. And I can't feel too sympathetic considering the way he acted when he left Green Bay). Plus if he's injured, and he didn't tell his team... have to wonder, is this worth it? Is this worth playing for, risking your life and limb every week?

If he does go, it would be a shame, because it's obvious he can still play. If they put a better team around him, they could easily make a playoff run similar to the last one in Green Bay.

Arizona is not a very good team. People jumped on the bandwagon since they won their title, but it won't last long. They've got no momentum. Warner will permit them to put up a fight, but the Falcons should be prepared enough to put down the rest of them.

Look for your MVP, Mr. Pey-ton Manning, to come out a-roaring!

*vomit* Lol! Can't say I'm shocked the Jets blew it! The Dolphins are halfway there. Even then, much to the despair of Patriot haters everywhere, the Pats could very well walk away with it. AND be a challenge in the playoffs. Hey, Farve could show up on any given day... but anyway, the picture seems sealed - only one of these teams will make it.

Congrats to the Ravens on a key win.

So it comes down to this. The Broncos are fading down the stretch... looks like they're somehow going to throw away the division. Good victory by SD against Tampa.

Miss. is a really underrated team. They could pose a real challenge if TT comes in overconfident and gets caught off guard.

How about Hoffenheim at the midpoint? I tip my hat to them!

I'm so freaking confused... what a total logjam. But anyway...

There's a fair chance that the Ravens will fall out of the picture since they go on the road against a rejuvenated Cowboys team, which would be a shame considering their defense...

The fact that they don't have to travel to Arizona is a plus. The Cards have their title and are just fine anyway, so the Pats should win. Buffalo shouldn't be a big challenge.

Ah, the Jets... does Farve have it in him? I wouldn't rule out a loss at Seattle, as unlikely as it sounds. But... I'll hesitantly give the benefit of the doubt to Farve's experience.

The Dolphins? Woah.

Who knows, when all is said and done we may very well be walking away with the Pats as champions.

The Panthers have a real shot at taking the 1 seed...

So, let the debate begin... correct choice?

Yeah, I had a feeling... the difference, ironically, might have been Colt McCoy.

Fix?

Polamalu has 7 in the league's best defense. With 3 weeks left, he should be able to maintain his lead.
