I would honestly laugh my ass off if/when the Pats beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

You're assuming DALLAS makes the Super Bowl....I have very little faith in them since the f'n Lions nearly beat them.

By that logic you should have little faith in the Pats, because the Giants, Eagles, and Browns almost beat them.

Except all those teams are better than the Lions. And its his opinion.

But solid effort man!

Indeed, both NY and PHI played the Lions this year and beat them, Philly won by 35 points. Like sep said, nice effort!

Yes...

I honestly believe it will be Colts vs. Packers


so ha. If i'm right you will worship me...

... but I'm probably not

[McGahee]

No way Dallas blows this game... not even a repeat of Romo's last-second performance choke-job against Seattle will out-do the suckage that Eli is gonna bring. I'd take Dallas by 12...

so the pats winning 34-17 over the browns is almost getting beat then? OK

[Jay [FSU]]

Well, when you look at it, the Browns were the only one early in the season to contend with them, they were blowing out teams 38-14 twice (24 pts.), 38-7 (31 pts), and then 34-13 (21 pts.). Then the Browns came in and lost 34-17, which is a 17 point loss, the only competition they had that early in the season.
And the Ravens, who were worse than the Lions, almost beat the Pats 27-24.

17 points vs. 21 points - not a noticeable difference at all.

I'll give you the Ravens though, but Dallas and New England are incomparable.

Well, I don't know about you, but when I played football, I'd rather be beaten by a closer margin than a wider margin, shows you kept fighting.

[cooljayhu]

yeah but a point spread doesn't always indicate how the game was played. I felt that Cleveland was never even close to contending in that game. And honestly I'd rather play the Lions than the Ravens, since the Ravens have a solid ground game and a pretty good defense unlike the Lions (sorry DB).
