Agreed that nobody likes the Steelers, but Steeler fans and there sure are a ton of them I truly hope Cincinnati kicks their ass, but I doubt that will happen. How about the Bengals who once again have both of their coordinators interviewing for Head Coaching jobs, but still might not have ever won a playoff game under Marvin Lewis, unreal? Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer now both in the playoffs cam from the Bengals.

Like the Chiefs, Seahawks & Washington although I will be rooting for the Vikings tired of the Packers, but it would be nice that in one weekend the Steelers, Packers & Seahawks all losing because Monday at work would be a really good day for me.

i think the seahawks could very well rout the vikings... other than the rams game, the seahawks have been on a terror since midway through the season, averaging 33 offensive points per game while holding opponent offenses to just 15 per game, and that stretch includes smoking the vikes in minny 38-7 (the vikes' sole score came on a ko return) and smoking the cards in 'zona 36-6 to close out the season, talk about bouncing back from a loss... and they played 7 of the 8 games without lynch...

Looking back, how in the heck did we actually pull off that win in Seattle in the way we did ? I agree that they will rout Minn.

I think I'll become a Chiefs fan for as long as it lasts. Not sure I like anyone else that's left.

Being 30 minutes from Cincy, love to see them win. (Does any Rams' fan like Pittsburgh?). Ain't happening without Dalton.

I like KC and Wash to win. GB is overrated and hey that Rams' loss to the Skins doesn't look so bad now, does it?

It would be great to see Min win, but have a lot of doubt there. I like them to cover 5 1/2 though.

agree re cincy, good luck w/o andy, but i think the seahawks could very well rout the vikings... other than the rams game, the seahawks have been on a terror since midway through the season, averaging 33 offensive points per game while holding opponent offenses to just 15 per game, and that stretch includes smoking the vikes in minny 38-7 (the vikes' sole score came on a ko return) and smoking the cards in 'zona 36-6 to close out the season, talk about bouncing back from a loss... and they played 7 of the 8 games without lynch... the skins? just not sold... they faced the 26th rated strength of schedule (the rams faced the 3rd toughest, packers the 6th toughest), facing just 3 teams with a winning record, just 3, and lost them all, by an average score of 15-35... and of course, hard to count the pack out when a guy named rodgers is throwing the ball for them, especially considering their defense put together a pretty nice year... agree on kc over the texans.... anyway, it's postseason football, anything can happen, ain't it great!??!!!

Where did u find the strength of schedule data for 2015? I found SoS data based upon 2014 regular season results, but is SoS data avail based upon 2015 actuals?

oh, there is football today! yay.

I'd like for the NFC West to have a team in the Superbowl for the 4th straight year - keep the streak going until we get there and win it.

I'm rooting for Arizona all the way. My family there is so excited.

I'm going with the home teams, i'm a sucker for a home dog.

And though, WA is the favorite, it's only 1 point and really seems like GB just isn't very good this year.

Seattle may well take it to Minnesota, they have been playing great, but i'll take my chances with the points.

Cinci has never won a playoff game with Marvin Lewis, but again, i got 3 points...

Bad for my Houston pick...

[aeneas1]

On a side note, Houston is the 1st team in history that made the playoffs while starting 4 qb during the season. 4!!!!
To think, Fisher couldn't get any snaps for Mannion yet Houston just kept rolling guys out there, and winning.

ha ha, true.... alto, to be fair, the texans' w/l record is mainly due to their defense and the very soft strength of schedule they faced (24th), their o finished 21st in offensive scoring (their d finished 8th in offensive points allowed), have to believe their o would have finished even worse had it faced the rams' schedule... but, yeah, would have been nice to see mannion get a shot at a start, but of course foles and keenum payed so well that it just didn't make any sense.

And the Chiefs are covering...

[dieterbrock]

Ugly game so far. Neither team looking good at QB
Which is infinitely better than....
