I see the Lions losing by at least 17, but we shall see.

I don't think the Lions can beat the Saints. Suh wasn't playing their last game when Saints won but he is not as much of a difference maker as people think. Lions have gotten better on penalties but that dome will be brutal.

He wasn't off the charts this past weekend and I do believe Saints D is better. If Lions rush too much, Brees will carve them up. Their secondary already was exposed big time.

No chance. The 3 other Wildcards have good shots, but not Detroit.

Wishful thinking probably, 49ers get the Saints when they win.

This will be the seventh time the Steelers have played the Broncos in the playoffs, meaning that the Steelers have played the Broncos in the playoffs more than any other team. In the other six games, the series is tied at 3-3 apiece, meaning that this game is the "rubber match," so to speak. This game breaks a tie the Broncos had with the Raiders, who are also 3-3 against the Steelers in the playoffs. The Steelers have had their most playoff success against the Colts, whom they've played five times in the playoffs, and won all five against them.

I remember those playoff games well Gnutella. A lot of people who post on the fb forum I'm sure aren't aware of this, as the Broncos and Steelers have only met twice in the playoffs in the last 20 years.

I think we will see some dramatic Tebow magic at the end.

Interesting fact, I've been watching football long enough but didn't know due to not following the AFC closely.

Steelers are really in rough shape though, Big Ben still gimpy, other players out. Originally I thought they might take it all the way again, but now I'm not so sure.

Pittsburgh still has the defense to beat NE Patriots, however it won't be easy playing in NE. The Patriots rely too heavily on their offense, and it has really showed in some of the recent games. Would be surprised if the Patriots make it past the AFC championship game.

Very unlikely. They scored only 3 points against The Chiefs. After that game, I have zero faith in them for the playoffs.
