No, I don't think the Steelers over the Chargers is an upset in any way, shape, or form. Call the Chargers a hot team if you like - their rally to the playoffs was impressive, as was their rally to tie the Colts and win in overtime - but winning in Pittsburgh against that defense is another matter altogether. The only way I see the Steelers losing is if the offense gives the game away. It's certainly possible, but if it happens, that'll be the upset.

Tennessee did beat Baltimore earlier in the year in Baltimore. I think Baltimore beat up on a mediocre Miami team. The Titans are a much better team than Miami and would kick the crap out of the Dolphins. I see the Titans winning a close game. I see the Sunday games as upsets, I think both road teams will win. I have a feeling about the Chargers and I don't trust the Steelers offense.

I would like to know why the Ravens are favored by 1 point? Watch that really motivate the Titans because it should anger them.

Where have you seen that? I'll I've seen is Titans up by 2.5 to 3.5. And I've only seen like one or two sportswriters pick the Ravens.

[Jedi Master Carr]

It was on the Espn Scoreboard, obviously must have been some betting on the Ravens.

Good thing then, as the Ravens escape with a 13-10 win.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

SO I joined a poll at work Friday afternoon picking who is going to the superbowl, one AFC one NFC.

Yea, I picked Carolina and the Titans. :(

[Miranda Tarkin]

:verymad

I suck in the playoffs!!!!

[Rossos Atrapes]

Please please please let Philly win!

[Rutabaga]

:verymad

I suck in the playoffs!!!!

Me too! :shakefist

The Ravens-Titans game was one of the worst, most boring playoff games I've seen in a long time. Neither team played well at all. At least my father is happy that the Titans aren't going to the Super Bowl...for some reason he hates Jeff Fisher with a passion.

The Cardinals beating the Panthers was a huge shock. Nobody here picked this upset. Wow.

..Really? I thought just the opposite. I thought the Titans Ravens game was one of the best defensive battled games I have seen in a long long time. Great game.

[Kale]

It was, though the Titans certainly killed themselves with all the penalties. It was definitely a much better game than the Cardinals and Panthers, in which the Panthers were, against all reason, completely overmatched.

Some people just can't appreciate good defense, geeze. :mneh

[Aurelias Kazaar]

All I know is if the Giants figure out a way to win today, my boss is gonna hear it all week. Buncha Cardinals fans in my office.

[Dragon]

Good grief - not only have the Cardinals made it to the conference championship, now they're hosting it. I don't think they'll be lighting up the Eagles the way they did the Panthers, though. The Eagles defense was absolutely dominant against the Giants, and Donovan McNabb looked as sharp as he's ever been.

Road teams are three for three so far in the divisional round; I sure hope it won't be four for four.

[Figrin D'an]

Who would have thought, at the beginning of the season, that the NFC representative in the Super Bowl would be either Arizona or Philly?

Shows just how much parity is rampant in the NFL.

[Ryan Pode]

If the Steelers lose, the two championship games will feature 4 v. 6 seeds. That's gotta be a first.

[Dragon]

It's the Steelers and three bird teams!

:crack:crack:crack

This will be the second time the Steelers have faced the Ravens in the postseason, and it looks like it could be epic. Here are the results for the Divisional Round:

Park Kraken: 3-1
Aurelias Kazaar: 2-2
Dragon: 2-2
Liam Jinn: 2-2
Lilaena De'Ville: 2-2
Nathaniel K'cansce: 2-2
Ryan Pode: 2-2
Jedi Master Carr: 1-3
Miranda Tarkin: 1-3
Rutabaga: 0-4
Yog: 0-4
jjwr: 0-4 (did not pick)

And the totals:

1. Dragon 175-89 (173)

2. Yog 170-94 (170)

3. Miranda Tarkin 166-98 (165)

4. Lilaena De'Ville 165-99 (163)

5. Rutabaga 164-100 (164)

6. jjwr: 163-101 (163)
6. Liam Jinn 163-101 (161)

8. Aurelias Kazaar 162-102 (160)
8. Nathanial K'cansce: 162-102 (160)

10. Ryan Pode 158-106 (156)

11. Jedi Master Carr 154-110 (153)

12. Park Kraken 147-117 (144)

Yog, it's been a great season. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am rooting for the Eagles now, I guess because I would like to see McNabb win a championship. I cannot believe the Cardinals got that far. I don't think they have ever played in a NFC Championship game or NFL championship game.

[Figrin D'an]

Not directly related to this past weekend, but the Colts held a press conference this afternoon to announce that Tony Dungy is retiring as head coach.

A huge loss for the Colts and for the NFL. He's one of the best coaches of his generation, and there's no one around football who is more respected than he is.

[Jedi Master Carr]

The Chiefs get Pioli for GM

Great move on their part, they need somebody who knows the game. Edwards will probably be fired soon and they will look at either Rex Ryan or Steve Spagnuolo.
As a Chief fan I am very happy this team could have a quick turn around like Atlanta, Baltimore, and Miami. They are 30 million dollars under the cap, and have an easy schedule next year. They also lost 6 games by less than 7 points.
