Since we are getting close... anyone care to pick who they think will take it all or who will be in the big game...
I am thinking Ravens vs Saints... even thought the Saints lost to the 49ers, I have a feeling if they meet again, the outcome will be a little different.
I agree on the Ravens, and in fact, I expect them to win it all. But assuming the Seahawks continue to retain the top seed in the NFC, if the Saints remain behind the Packers as the third seed, they would have to play on Wild Card weekend, while the Seahawks and Packers rest.
Assuming the Saints win (a good bet), they would next play the Packers, which will be a real tough game in cold, frigid Green Bay. If they win, and the Hawks win their home game, the NFC Championship game would be in Seattle, and again the Seahawks will definitely have the advantage.
I'm not saying this just because I live very close to Seattle, but it's just common sense. But yeah, the NFL is crazy! As my father told me a long, long time ago, "On any given day, the worst team in the NFL can beat the best". That remains true, even today!
