2013-14 NFL Playoffs

[masoud nekounam]

Yeah, the Panthers-49ers game is going to be sick, but the Broncos will kill the Chargers.

[tashakor]

Im gonna laugh at anyone picking Denver over the Chargers this Sunday! Peyton is horrible in the playoffs, he has a very poor record against the Chargers and he has a poor record playing in the cold.

Chargers over Broncos, Saints over Seahawks, Panthers over 49ers, Patriots over Colts.

[Mr.Click]

3 out of 4 wild card games were nailbiters
Sea Hawks- Saints and 49ers-Panthers will be very cloae, I give the edge to Saints and 9ers
Broncos and Pats should come on top against Chargers and Colts with ease
My favorites are the Saints, only becauae of Brees

[GermanPersian]

My Picks for This Weekend:

Seattle 28 - 23 New Orleans (Seattle Home Field Advantage is Too Much)

New England 35 - 20 Indy (Brady & Belichick come through as always)

Denver 42 - 24 San Diego (Big Game from Manning before inevitably choking in the AFC Championship the following week)

San Francisco 17 - 16 Carolina (Tight Defensive battle, Cam Newtons's Carolina not experienced enough to come out on top)

I agree with all of your picks but it would not surprise me if SD wins they won @Denver before and Manning has a lot of one and done in the playoffs his record is 9-11. They might squeak by SD but they will lose, again, to the Pats in the Championship game even if Brady needs to travel to Denver. Brady is clutch Manning is the greatest REGULAR SEASON quarterback. Shoot even Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson have one ring.

I grew up in Boston area (which is why im a Pats fan) but I currently live in San Diego and am very familiar with the Chargers team. I believe they have next to no chance vs Denver, especially considering that they just shocked Denver at home a few weeks ago and lightning is very unlikely to strike twice. Of course Manning has his playoff woes, but the Chargers are also notorious chokers and Rivers in particular is prone to some bone-headed mistakes in big moments. I also tend to get annoyed by the chargers in general because most of thier fans are phony bandwagoners (they cant even sell-out games when theyr in a play-off hunt). No offense, its great that your confident in your team, but I just dont see it happening this time.

Also.. Go Aztecs! (I completed the MBA program not too long ago)

Theres nothing more that I would love than to see the Patriots crush Mannings dreams YET AGAIN!

Well it could very well happen Denver choked a 24 point lead but it was at NE. However, Denver needs to go through SD first and the Chargers will have confidence heading into that game. Even John Elway pointed that out, 'They came to our backyard and beat us." The Chargers have a top 10 offense so they have the ability to hang with Denver if they can get some solid defensive play and turnovers, like they did against Cincinnati, they can very well win. I think it's going to be a close game even if Denver wins they won't blow them out of the water.

Chargers Defensive has been awful all year, that one Thursday night game vs Denver was a complete fluke. Manning is gunna pick them apart especially with Welker back healthy. Also, if you really think about it the main reason they were able to beat Cincy is that their QB Dalton played one of the worst games imaginable and was just giving the ball away over and over again. The Chargers run is fools gold, dont buy the hype. Even that 'big' win vs KC was against a bunch of backups and they still woulda lost if the refs got the call right on the FG attempt.

Ok that argument I buy KC sat like 20 starters in that game and Chargers have one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Dalton choked again in the playoffs it was more because Dalton choked that is why Chargers won but Any Given Sunday is not just a title of a bad movie starring Al Pacino and Jim Brown. On any given Sunday anybody can beat anybody. What if Satan Manning has a typical playoff game and throws two or three picks? The pressure is clearly on Denver they are the #1 seed and all eyes are on Manning. The Chargers are playing with house money nobody expected them to even be in the playoffs yet here they are. I'm a Raider fan I hate both teams but it won't shock me if SD pulls the upset.

[Team Melli Fan]

chargers are FINALLY doing what they do best & throwing the ball. too little too late though, 5 min to go in the 4th quarter

[Beeza]

Looks like I was 4 for 4 with my picks, although they were pretty safe pics. Both of next weeks Conference Championship match-ups are going to be epic! Anything can happen in either game. As a Patriots fan im hoping for a Pats/Seahawks Super Bowl because Seattle very beatable away from home and the SB will be in New York where the Pats are accustomed to the cold weather.

Beeza I too was 4/4 but I also said that the Chargers were not going to roll over and just play dead against Denver and I was right. @Team Meli fan here were the Chargers key mistakes.
1-They took way too long to throw the ball and wake up in the first half they were running it way too much.
2-On the last drive, Denver picked up two first downs, including a key 3rd and 17. Overall, the Chargers defense actually showed up they held Denver to 24 points in their own home but 3rd and 17 and you give you give up the first down. That is atrocious!
Now we have two finals and I honestly like all four teams and I think it's going to be close but I am going to give the edge to the home teams. Patraiots will fight Denver hard but Satan Manning will eek out a win in their own home. Remember, the last time these two teams played it was @NE that was a key factor in the Pats mounting a 24 point comeback. Now Denver will have the home filed advantage I don't think even Peyton Papa John's Manning can screw this up but I"ve been wrong with Manning before. I say final score Denver 31 NE 28.

Now on to the NFC Championship this is the rubber match ding ding round 3! I'm going to again give a slight edge to Seattle. They are not the 12th man that honor belongs to Texas A&M but they have one of the loudest stadiums due to good engineering. It makes a difference when you are trying to call audibles in the line of scrimmage. I just happen to trust Russell Wilson more than the bicep kisser and Wilson will stay in the pocket more often than Kap. I also think both teams have a great defense and great coaching but the edge goes to Seattle their line is world class and their secondary is world class as well. They shut down the best TE in the NFL. Final score Seattle 35, SF 31.
Both games will be close.
As for the Super Bowl, Seattle will ruin Peyton's dreams they have a good team but Seattle has a better overall team. Russell Wilson will win his first Super Bowl ring.

Less than 48 hours away from the epic NFL match of the century, mad stoked

Both games are complete toss-ups and very tough to predict... but Go Pats!

Since both games are toss ups I'm going to give the edge to the home teams.
