NFL 2009/10

Chargers vs Jets (Easy this one, i'm not sure how the Jets got this far in the first place)

Vikings vs Dallas (Vikings, just)

Arizona vs New Orleans (I agree with setter here, Warner's on a roll)

Ravens vs Colts (If our secondary plays the game of it's life we'll pull it off, but what else did you expect me to say? )

to be fair to the jets they Do have the best shut down Corner in the game. He is been up against many a great receiver and given them no change what so ever.

vincent jackson will be shut down , but then theres gates, floyd and sproles!! i hate rivers but he's played outstanding football this year.
I fancy the saints to win, the cards D is bad and beware of the dome!! that place will be crazy!
Cowboys - Chargers Superbowl.
How about them cowboys!!!

Playoff picks on the board:

Cards over Saints - shootout that could go either way but the Saints limped into the playoffs and haven't played well in a month.

Colts over the Ravens - great offense against very good but not great defense and home field advantage. Ravens need to play ball control offense to keep Manning on the sidelines but I can't pick against the Colts at home.

Cowboys over Vikings - the Cowboys have got balance and momentum and while the Vikes are obviously dangerous with Favre and Peterson capable of the big play (and the big turnover). Key is Jared Allen pass rushing against Flozell Adams to put pressure on Romo...

Chargers over Jets - the JEts can run but can't pass, they'll blitz but Rivers can beat that and has got big receivers outside to make the catches up high. When did the Chargers last lose?

All should be interesting games and I'm not entirely confident about any of the picks but that's why they play the game!

It looks like none of us are going to get a 100% record this weekend. I thought there was a possibility that New Orleans could win but that was a complete blow out. Made Our Arizona victory prediction look very ill informed indeed lol

What about Baltimore? Talk about being your own worse enemy!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think the Saints would be able to shut down the Cards offense but they played with great intensity on defense while the Cards couldn't tackle. I think it might be a bit loud in the Superdome next week for the championship game.

Baltimore's season in a game - frustrating, own worst enemy, missing something but not quite sure what it is. The Colts will be tough to beat next weekend but should have been chasing perfection...

yeah that was what everyone was hoping for. A Superbowl contested by two unbeaten teams In the form of the Saints and the Colts. That really would have been something. Still I think that if Minnesota(heaven forbid)and San Diego win tonight, next weeks conference finals will be contested between arguably the 4 best teams over the course of the season.

Agree with both points. The Saints and Colts had a shot at going unbeaten but the Saints were beaten (by the Cowboys to begin with) and and the Colts acted 'strategically' to protect and rest starters. It would still be a great Super Bowl between these two number 1 seeds.

The Chargers must see off the Jets tonight but I still think that the Cowboys will upset the Vikes although I wouldn't be too disappointed if they got beat by Minnesota. Just hope there's a good close game as we were a bit spoiled by Green Bay-Arizona last week.

GUTTED.

Baltimore's offence.......What offence? 5 dropped catches in the game only spells one thing.....Defeat. It just shows that an offence can win a game on it's own, but it's impossible for a defence to do it if the offence doesn't function, the game doesn't work that way.

Penalties........Jeezus H Christ, we shot ourselves in the foot so many times both feet should be full of holes!! You CANNOT beat a team like the Colts unless you are totally at the top of your game, if you're not, you're done. And you DEFINITELY ain't gonna beat 'em with a shitload of penalties, most of 'em dumb........We've been doing that all season though but mostly got away with it, up until now.

How many times can a team get itself back into the game and then put itself out of it again, all in a matter of seconds? Must be some kind of record. Harbaugh must be suicidal today and i can't say i blame him.

If Ed Reade had either scored from that interception or not fumbled (credit to the wide receivers hustle though)it could have been a different game altogether. At that time they looked dead and buried and to have scored from that play or the resulting play(s) arising from that interception would have changed momentum considerably in that match
