the AFC has a lock on the Super Bowl, you need to watch the Eagles. They have a very good offense, but their defense can be relentless. They have completely shut down the Vikings offense today, which is no easy task.
I'll match up the Eagles D with any AFC offense. I'm not saying the AFC is not talented. I am saying that it is not a foregone conclusion that the AFC is superior.

Just turned on the Pats/Colts game. They haven't kicked off yet.
When I see that snow swirling around, I just expect a great game. Football weather.

I called the Eagles preseason to win the Super Bowl. I have stuck by them the whole year, seeing as how my Lions sure as hell weren't gonna iwn.

The E-girls looked good against a very bad defense today.

As much as I hate to say it, the Eagles look pretty good. I was rooting for the Vikes today, as being a Dallas Cowboy fan living in the Philly area my motto is "anyone but the Eagles."
Don, I don't see the Stellars making it into the SB. Did you happen to catch what the Pats just did to the Colts?

The Steelers have won 15 games in a row. They beat both the Patriots and the Eagles. I know that it hasn't been pretty but they have the hot hand and will find a way to win.( I hope )
Steelers beat the Pats, yes, but Pats didn't have Dillon and that was the game Law went out in the first series. Billy didn't have time to restructure his D w/o Law.
Steelers/Pats? if the Pats play like they did tonight. . .no question.
Colts/Manning limited to 3 points? are you kidding me?!

judging from the way the Pats handled the best offense in the league. their my pic to win it all. the steelers just don't have that kind of tallent on both sides of the ball (mainly D). and that's what you need to win the big dance.
as for the Eagles, I just don't think they'll be able to play their A game against a defense like New England. but that's just my humble oppinion.

Go Eagles, they will win!
Don't agree about the iggles, but do agree about the stillers. All I've heard about was that roth was a rookie, but not playing like one....he sure played like one on Sat. The question is, can he handle the playoff pressure better next game?

The AFC was the best conference by far this year, but you only need one good team to win the super Bowl.
If the most overhyped quarterback in a while plays against the Pats the way he did against the Jets, the Patriots will be on their way to play another super Bowl.

Carson Palmer's not playing the Pats this week, Mike.
Oh, you meant that Berger guy from Pitt, lol.
The AFC was a better conference, but no one should look past Philly. They might actually have the goods this year.
Atlanta would get obliterated by the Pats.

Correct. Palmer is not scheduled to start in the Super Bowl until 2006.
