Sat: I like to watch Peyton beat up on the Jets' defense. I'll bet he'll use the same strategy as Brady used to run on the Jets. Joe and Cam are better take notes.

Sun: Beside Ravens, Eagles vs Greenbay is highly anticipated game. Greenbay will probably use the same strategy as the Vikings did them. Vick will get shutdown and that's it for the Eagles: one dimentional offense.

I guess the way to determine who you want to cheer for is to determine who you would rather play in the second round. If Colts win we are off to NE. If Jets win its on in Pittsburgh.

I think we can beat either team, but I really hate the idea of losing to the Steelers in the playoffs. Either way I think the AFCCG will be going through Pittsburgh. Might as well try our luck early. Go Colts!

[Alexir]

I think majority of people will not care for the Saints/Seahawks. But after that joke of a game is over, I can't wait to watch the other 3. Real excited to see my man Aaron Rodgers whoop up on the Eagles so those "fans" start booing Vick like that did McNabb.

Yeah and we get an extra day to rest if we go to New England, which could really come in handy.

You and me are on the same boat with that one. I'd love to see Green Bay leave Philly with a win. Philly fan collapse!

The primary goal is winning the SB, but if we don't I would hate to help out the Steelers by taking out the Pats. I would like the Jets to beat the Colts so that we go to Pittsburgh. That way, if we take care of business we'll either have the Jets at home or the Patriots. If we don't, the Steelers will most likely have to go to New England, because I don't think that the Jets can take out the Patriots.

I don't like see the Steelers in the second round. It's ok to see them in the championship. I'll like our odds against the NE. Mattison seems to do well against Brady. If we passed NE, we're ready to take on the Steelers...

That is an interesting way of putting it. It's true if we and the Jets win. The Steelers would probably beat the Jets. So even if we do knock of the Pats, we'd have to face them in the AFCCG instead. I would much rather hate losing that game and sending them off to the Superbowl (again) than the divisional game.

You've changed my mind. I'd rather face the Steelers in the divisional round. So if they do get past us, they'll have to get past either the Patriots/Colts.

But its just so hard to rout for the Jets.

Exactly, we MIGHT have helped them in 2008 although they match up fine with the Titans. It still would have been a road game. But this season, the Ravens have a serious match up advantage when it comes to New England.

I'm right there with you but throw in my wife's inlaws. Ha! They want to go to Mount Vernon on Saturday. That's fine, but we have to be back by 4:30.

[Ed_Reed20]

I'm really looking forward to the Pack-Iggles game. I could really care less who wins the game but I know it's going to entertaining.

Jets-Patriots, Ravens-Steelers.

Yea I screwed that up. So it wouldn't be Pats/Colts but Pats (because ain't no way the Jets beat the Pats).

Lol, so you'll root for us possibly two weeks in a row if the Colts win. That would be interesting actually, we'd probably have to root for the Steelers if they play the Colts, despite the possibility of the Steelers winning a third ring in 5 years (we'd never hear the end of it). So it would be a very friendly divisional round.

[hawkprey]

Oh to be a Ravens fan, and to have your 4 biggest rivals in the playoffs as you try to bump off the only team you're cool with.

I just can't let the Colts, Pats, Steelers, or Jets win the Super Bowl. I can't!

[Passepartout]

I will take for the AFC:
Colts over the Jets
Ravens over the Chiefs

For the NFC:
Saints over the Seahawks
Eagles over the Packers

[MagicianCamille]

Man, the regular season went by WAAAAY too fast...

I obviously like our chances against Kansas City, but as for AT Pittsburgh, New England, or Indianapolis...and we'll have to play against at least two of these teams and their home stadiums...oi vey, might be a repeat of 2009...or 2008...or 2001...

[Jabara]

I'm gonna miss the Saturday Night game between the Colts and Jets because I have to work, I really wanted to see that one.
Does anyone know if the NFL Network will replay the playoff games just like they do for the regular season?

[ravensdfan]

While I will watch all the games for the football value, as for rooting for someone, not sure. If the Jets manage to win 2 games and we do, that gives us the AFCCG at home. But there is that ewww Jets thing.

NFC I really don't have too much of a preference. A Bird Bowl would be alright though.

The good news is that today, one of our rivals will undoubtedly have their dreams crushed. Who will it be? Will it be Peyton Manning moping in the locker room all alone or will it be Rex Ryan sobbing into a pack of Krispy Kreme, licking just the icing off and throwing the rest of the donut away? Today will be a good day.

I can't wait for playoff football to start....er....until the real games start (after SEA vs NO). Your so right what ever happens tonight I'll be happy because I know that either the Jets or Colts will be knocked out. Good feelings either way.

Hey! I'm rooting for the Seahawks to be the upset of the week! Don't know why. I guess I'm just tired from a year of Brees this, Saints that, etc etc etc.

Do I think it is the way it will be? Well, no. But as long as the Seahawks are in the game, I'll be watching.
