    Packers beating Dallas would be an upset at this point. At least for me.

    Not with Aaron Rodgers dealing with a torn calf.

    He is no where near 100%. How much of an upset would it be then?

    Baltimore over New England has the most highly outcome but I don't agree this being an upset. To me an upset is an unxpected result. So I went with Cowboys over Packers. Long time choker Chomo going against Packers wintertime.

    Baltimore over New England would absolutely be an upset.

    New England is favored to make a Super Bowl run this year. Yes, we are talking about a Baltimore team that looks very good, but you have to look at this as a whole. New England, in many people's eyes, are set to be champions this year. It would be a HUGE upset if Baltimore went into New England and knocked them out in their first playoff game.

    He said Packers beating Dallas would be the upset, not the other way around.

    I went with the Colts. If Manning stumbles again, and Luck is at his best, it could happen.

    I didn't know there was a poll. I'm using the app
    Ah, my mistake. I read it flipped.

    God, I really can't believe how effective the media is that they've convinced everyone outside of the betters in Vegas that New England is the underdog. It's crazy.

    Do you guys here honestly believe that Baltimore is better or is it your hatred for New England fueling the Baltimore over NE talk? That's a serious question and not my Patriots' homerism talking.

    I'm in no way saying BAL has no chance but to act as if they should be favored is laughable.

    I still consider all four of the road teams underdogs but my order of most likely upsets would be 1. Boys 2. Ravens 3. Colts 4. Panthers. 2 and 3 are just about interchangable.

    I think those choosing Baltimore would note Flacco's insane playoff numbers over his last 5 or 6 starts. Plus their PO success in NE.

    Maybe...but I'm alway a little fearful of dome babies playing outside in Jan. Especially when they don't have a very good running game (although Herron gave it some life last week).

    Peyton Manning is still a dome baby.

    Wait what? I am trying to say that Green Bay would be upsetting Dallas if they won. Obviously Vegas favors Green Bay but I don't. I get the sense that a lot of people believe Dallas will beat Green Bay, but they are hesitant to say it because they need to see it to believe it. Im taking it a step further, I think this game does not even end up that close. I believe Dallas handles Green Bay with ease.

    Denver hasnt lost at home since that playoff game against Balt, I dont like the Broncos offense but I do believe Andrew Luck is capable of going off against that overrated Broncos defense.

    Dare I say the Colts might actually prefer a shootout?!?

    Depending on Rodger's health, cowboys beating them looks more likely

    Sooner or later were gonna have a year where all the bye week teams play in the title games. I think that happens this year.

    Zero chance Carolina beats Seattle..little chance that the Ravens and Colts win. Cowboys have the best chance for the upset but unless the Rodgers injury is very serious I think Green Bay escapes only to get blown out in Seattle next week.
