Yep, we purposely put Tom Brady on our photo highlight last week, and it worked... We're like 5-0 in getting a team knocked out with the picture. Yeah, picking Matt Cassel was no miracle choice, but we're entitled to an easy one now and then....
We've got 2 nice games lined up. All four could make the Super Bowl, but only 2 can go. We tried to line up all the empirical data, enter it into our supercomputer, and make our picks. But, in the end, we just guessed. After all, we're not that smart. Hey, we're friggin' 0-4 on Saturday, but 3-1 on Sunday. Onto the picks:
Green Bay at Chicago
Word is, Julious Peppers is realy, really bummed about leaving Carolina... Aaron Rodgers was absolutely unconscious last week against Atlanta, but Soldier Field isn't the track meet in the Georgia Dome. Yes, Rodgers is waaaaay better than Jay Cutler, but this is an outdoor game, and that favors defense, which Chicago is better at. I usually think that teams that let someone in the playoffs later regret it. However, the Bears played the Packers even, before sitting everyone. Meanwhile, Rodgers struggled just to get the W. We'll go with the home team....Bears 20-17.
New York Jets at Pittsburgh
Say what you want, but Mark Sanchez is 4-1 in the playoffs. Then again, he's 0-1 in AFC Championship games... Ben Roethlisberger is pretty good in the playoffs, adn he's got the rings to prove it.. The Jets defense is excellent, but The Steelers is even better. Yeah, Darrelle Revis will clamp off Hines Ward, but Mike Wallace will eat up Antonio Cromartie on stop routes all day - just enough. Meanwhile, Sanchez is due for one of his patented 'bad games', and as he goes, so goes the Jets. I can't win either way - not with all the Steeler and Jet fans that are my friends - but we're going for one more lucky Steeler win... Steelers 24-14.

I would love for the Jets to win it all. All these cold weather teams. Green Bay will win in Chicago.
Woulda been nice for tha Jetz, the game just ended too early. On the other hand, having the Steelers representing the AFC is the surest way to make Cowboys fans pull for Tha' Pack! (The ignomanious prospect of Pittsburgh winning their seventh(?) Super Bowl on Dallas' Home Field... is Jerry Jones having nightmares yet?)
Well you're 50% right. Cutler just can't hack a tough game and I am not just referencing his "injury".
Like you everyone had Wallace having a good game where I was saying that the running game would be decisive. Your score was a point closer than mine in the end.
