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

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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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 asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.

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:
