    If you had to guess the Super Bowl participants today, who would they be?

    I'm leaning Steelers vs. Niners, though the Bears are hard to rule out.

    Bears- Texans

    Would lean Packers, but the injuries are becoming too much

    lot of love for the bears

    they aren't that good, they could easily finish the season 10-6 when you look at their schedule

    They are that good defensively and on special teams. The problem is, you can't win every single game that way. At some point, Cutler's going to have to be clutch and that line is going to have to protect. I'm not convinced that against a team like the Niners, either will happen.

    here's what the box score looked like when the bears played the packers, no reason to believe it would be any different during the playoffs
    Total Net Yards Bears 168 Packers 321

    AFC no clue. Think it comes from Steelers, Broncos or Texans. NFC, Packers. They fixed their early season shit and have hammered two of the best teams in the league - Houston & Chicago for their only losses. Looks like every thinks the Falcons are regular season darlings and playoff patsies lol. Tend to agree because teams will have had time to prep for them and have seen all the tape and one of them possibly played them already. ATL won't win if they don't figure out how to run the ball better and stop the run better.

    We still have these games left :

    Niners vs Chicago
    Niners vs Patriots
    Chicago vs Houston
    Patriots vs Houston

    Fun games but in the end they don't mean anything since it's who ever gets lucky in the playoffs who will be in the super bowl.

    they do mean a lot. houston, pats, denver, steelers and ravens all fighting for the key top 2 sports in the AFC. say denver goes 11-5 and gets the #1 seed. would be very tough to beat them

    same goes in the west. race for the top 2 sports is wide open

    Denver is not getting the top spot. Pats and Houston are.

    Also no chance 11-5 gets top seed, Houston goes 14-2 or 13-3 this year.

    The NFC is so deep it's ridiculous. Bears, Niners, Falcons, Packers. Giants/Buccs/Seahawks/Vikings have also looked good. Could easily be a throw up, but if there's a darkhorse, I'm thinking the Buccs can pull through if they can put a solid pass D together.

    AFC is a much more simple story. Texans/Broncos/Patriots. Out of the three, Peyton is the only guy that I can see winning the AFC.


    Broncos - Buccs.

    dont think bears can beat sf in playoffs, they will get to much pressure on cutler and that not good, doubt harbaughs team will turn it over against chi either so it will be on cutler to win against pressure in his face... just dont think nyg is ever as hungry in a yr after they win it and despite the ass whipping they put on sf i still think sf better team at the end....sf/atl would be interesting but atl suspect run d i believe will be their downfall in this one as sf will pound them up front... so guess im saying sf paid their dues last yr and will represent the nfc this season, even tho hard to believe alex smith is a sb qb....

    afc so wide opened, hou/pit/den the 3 id say have best chance right now, love the indy story but that only take them so far, pats not buying to get back again, and balt has to many issues on the defensive side (think pit overtakes them in div),,,big ben so good on 3rd down and haley has them pounding the rock, one of best coaches (even tho have no idea what that fake fg was all bout, just line up and run damn ball you wanna go for it), a clutch qb, and a defense that continues to play at a high level despite everyone acting like they a shell of their former selves....right now id have to say steelers even tho den a very good possibility and we know pit cant win there so they will have to avoid that gm, hou very well could be playing the best but who knows when they have a injury that derails them plus they gonna end up locking up their spot early and teams that play lax the few gms before playoffs then have a 1st round bye have been getting run over by the hot wc team that had to play every week... so after all that right now i guess im saying pit/sf in the superbowl, long as steeelers dont have to go to den...

    Don't sleep on the Steelers and the Bucs aren't even going to be in the playoffs. Too many tough losses already and tough schedule in back half. If they went 6-2 that would make them 10-6 which should still be out of the playoffs in the NFC
