First picks for the Superbowl.
First would be the Broncos
Followed closely by the Ravens. Any takers?

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Man on Fire said:Kaepernick gets hot in the playoffs. 49ers beat Broncos
Are we forgetting the game of games. Where the Colts ended the streak.Espi said:I'm not betting on ANYONE to beat Seattle in their stadium during the playoffs.
Denver is the obvious choice in the AFC, but Manning has a history of choking versus NE. I'm assuming that the Patriots will have to play Denver at Mile High--that's the ONLY reason I'm picking the Broncos for the Super Bowl.
I won't be surprised, though, to see NE return to the Super Bowl. They can beat Denver on the road.
Broncos 35
Seahawks 31
Espi said:That was a plus-1 in favor of Manning. A BIG plus because Indi got to the Super Bowl.
But...that was at home; and they barely squeaked by. He choked many a time beforehand. Beaten rather decisively by the Patriots both in NE and in Indianapolis.
And it happened again this year. Against the Patriots.
He's a great quarterback, but let's remember that he has ONE Super Bowl ring.
His brother has 2. Both against NE, by the way.
I'm just not 100% confident in him beating the Patriots. They've had his number for years.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Some other teams to watch
I would never count out the Pats. They always seem to find a way to win postseason games. The Niners will be a tough out too. If the Packers can somehow sneak in they could be a sleeper.
You are totally right EspiEspi said:I don't know.
I personally measure a quarterback's legend on the number of Super Bowls he has won. That's supposedly what they play for right? (Besides the money!).
Well that game sucked. Even if we beat Green Bay, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. 32nd ranked rush defense? We're the Bears FFS, defense is #1.CHICAGO27 said:I think Chicago is doing a disservice by starting Cutler. I don't think they are going to win in PHL this weekend.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Arizona has always had good potential. I'd put them right up there with the Colts and the team from Washington.Espi said:--Looking more and more like a NE-Denver showdown. Will probably be another classic Brady-Manning showdown.
--Was very surprised to see Arizona beat Seattle in Seattle. It'll be interesting to see how the Seahawks bounce back. The late season loss could wreak havoc on their psyche.
--SF over Atlanta got away with one.
--Not convinced that Carolina is for real. Yet.
Let's go Seahawks!vantagepoint said:Arizona has always had good potential. I'd put them right up there with the Colts and the team from Washington.
^^^Boom!Peaks&Valleys said:Chargers Niners. Book it.
What I can tell you is the Chargers have been a great team since the Jets beat them in the playoffs not too long ago. They have what it takes. We'll see if the Niners can do it. I will tell you this I'm putting all my money on the Colts. They really have what it takes.Peaks&Valleys said:
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
