Figured I should start one, since nobody has not yet ...

My picks (one of them IS biased of course .. Seahawks)

Seahawks over Cowboys
Chiefs over Colts
Eagles over Giants
Patriots over Jets

btw .. word is, the Seahawks still are accepting walk-ons to try-out tomorrow morning for cornerbacks, so if you have da mad CB skillz, might wanna get Coach Holmgren on the line

Cowboys are the only underdog to win. The one thing they can do is throw the ball and the one thing the Seahawks will struggle with is coverage.

(If I'm wrong, I'll blame the rain.)

My pick is Ravens winning the whole thing over the Saints.

Everyone is talkin about how the cowboys can exploit the Hawks D, but the Hawks have just as good, if not better chance, of shredding apart the cowboys D.

Shawn is Healthy, and thats gonna help the Hawks spread the offense out.

That is interesting b/c it gives the Saints an advantage (potentially) in facing Philly - if they win - off of a short week. I'm surprised that the League didn't wait until Sunday's games ended.

Baltimore and SD had the biggest advantage since one of them were going to know their opponent by mid-day yesterday and the other could drop one of the teams they started scouting/preparing for already.

Seriously, not because I'm a Pats fan, he's been pretty good. If I'm not mistaken he was a CB. Last year he took over at SS after the Pats tried 5 other guys after Harrison went down. This year he has played both SS and mostly FS. He's not the fastest guy (I think he's 30) but he's a good tackler and hard hitter. Cotchery made a good play on that one. Artrell went in and took a bad angle and he was gone. I'm sure he was on rthe street for a reason though.

And they did. Or maybe the Eagles did it to themselves.

With a 2nd and 1 at the 3 yard line, they can't get make a first down. :(
They get a false start after converting a 4th and 10.:(
Then they decide to Punt as the time is running out instead of going for it. Sure 4th and 15 is hard, but it is better than loosing after punting it away.:(

It's hard rooting for a Volunteer, but that's much better than Tom (Michigan deserves a rematch for the national title) Brady. Maybe if he had thown to a Gator on the last drive, he might not have gotten picked off. :\

Right...

Let's see, Patriots have 4 Gators receivers. Kight was inactive. Chad Jackson, despite being a top of the 2nd round pick and the 2nd receiver drafted had 13 receptions all year and played in 2 snaps yesterday. Caldwell drops a wide open touchdown. Then drops another wide open pass. Yeah, anyone whose a Gator is awesome. NE was brilliant letting the stiffs from Louisville and ND go...

How do you leave Ben Roethlisberger off the list?

He surely had the worst Super Bowl of any winning QB, but he was a #1 draft pick and otherwise has (until this year) a pretty good career going.

Brad Johnson is another one on the cusp. Longevity work in his favor, but he is decidedly mediocre

I haven't been to an Aurelio's that I didn't like, but they are all different. My understanding is that each of the restaurants is owned and managed by a different family memember, and each has his/her own recipe.

Main thing is....it never ceases to irritate me how many people buy that Chicago pizza is deep dish hook, line and sinker. Deep dish was a New York import, and Uno is not a traditional Chicago pizzaria. Big, thin crust pizza with spicy sauce, italian sausage, and greasy mozarella cheese, cut into squares, not wedges. That is a Chicago pizza, and there is no taste in the world quite like it. ;)
