    Colts and Chargers picked by EVERY person. Surprising.

    However, on the NFC side, both games are split by the experts. This clearly means we are not sure who will be in the NFC title game, but we do know the Jets will host the Ravens. :up:

    I love how "Sportsnation" went 0-4 last week. Casual fans that think they know a lot and bandwagon football fans piss me off so fucking much.

    Ignore them. Rise above it.

    This doesn't shock me. These two AFC divisional favorites are very strong teams and are indeed better than the wild card teams they are playing. But these two WC teams are not to be taken lightly because they can hurt you.

    Taking the favorites is the safe bet in the AFC. The NFC is so strong this year it doesn't shock me that its split.

    Yeah i saw this a couple days ago. Only one of those "experts" went 3-1 last week, with none at 4-0. These guys are a bunch of assholes, so let's hope that their trend of being wrong keeps up.

    The colts and the chargers are both teams filled with sensitive players. The Jets and Ravens will come out and punch them in the mouth and shock all those idiot espn guys. JETS VS Ravens in the AFC championship game

    Very surprised that not even one of them picked the Ravens.

    Agreed. I fully understand us as the underdog...rookie QB and coach, on the road, inconsistent play and we have 1 playoff game under our belt in the last couple of years. I think it will give our players more drive to prove to everybody they belong.

    Funny that both the Jets and Ravens win the way your supoosed to win in the playoffs with a great defense and very good running game. They play boring football but they are both physical. Honestly I think the Ravens will beat the Colts. I would be more suprised by a Jets victory.

    The Cowboys are another team that run the football and play great defense.

    Old school football still works. I hope one of those three teams win so that teams copy that formula and it resets this passing bullshit. I don't want big scores and QB vs QB. I like defense and running and smart football.

    Yeah, the way they played last week would scare me if I was a Colts fan.

    They destroyed the high flying Eagles last week.

    Which one matters more?

    I'll let you decide.

    Wouldnt you favor the chargers over the Jets and the Colts over the Ravens. Both teams have had 2 weeks to rest and were much better over the season.

    As it relates to the Jets/Chargers? I'd say the Chargers beating Dallas in Dallas. Of course the Cowboys kicking the Eagles butts just shows what a good team Dallas is.

    Your're the one that said the Cowboys are another team that runs the ball well and plays good defense. I assume you were talking about the Jets as one you were comparing them to.

    I was saying that the new NFL of passing first and running second did not prevail in the WC round.

    And I personally prefer old school football. The Cards/Packer game was cool, but too much of that will not be interesting anymore.
