Pats v. Colts
From the limited amount of time I've seen the Colts play recently, I've noticed their defense has been playing well. In some strange way the offense (more so Peyton, has been sputtering, and when I say that I mean not typical Peyton Manning) while the defense has been nuts. On the other hand, the Patriots are just something to behold. They just show up in the playoffs, period. They're well coached and it shows. They just go out and win ball games. I really can't predict this one, I think its going to be a hell of a game.
Saints v. Bears
Saints are flying high right now (no lie, they're ballllllinnnn) I was glad to see them beat the Eagles in a close game. Shows they can fight it out in a close one. The Bears also stuck it out against the Hawks. I think this game is going to be a good one. Its all going to be who lands that huge knockout blow (or inversely, makes the inoppurtune mistake) I think the Saints will be able to put up points on the weakened Bears D, but I also think that if Grossman plays halfway decent the Bears will be able to match that. I think this one is going to be real good.
Superbowl
No matter who goes out of the 4 teams, I think the game is going to better than a lot of people expect. The general consensus, it seems, is that the AFC is going to kill the NFC. I don't think thats the case. I think if the Patriots go, they will win, purely because they've been there multiple times and experience gives them an edge. I think the Saints have a better shot than the Bears if they made it to the Superbowl. I think right now the Bears are the weakest link, Patriots the strongest, with the Saints and Colts close in the middle. My ideal matchup would be the Saints v. Pats or the Colts, so long as the Bears don't go.
