OK, so you were picking the Lions over the Packers and now they can beat Seahawks? I want the win and they have improved since 1st game, but with Aaron on one leg, oh, boy, he is not superman. I'll go Pats and Packers. Mike & Mike say both games will be blow outs! We'll see!

Would love to see Indy get in... But New England is healthy at the right time.
Losing Ahmad Bradshaw hurt Indy tremendously.
Rodgers isn't going to hold back. Expect to see the Aaron we saw in the second half against the Cowboys... And the Packers D is way more legit than people realize.
Colts @ Patriots- Luck is proving to be one of the elite, but Brady IS the elite and will propel the Patriots to another Super Bowl.
Packers @ Seahawks- The Packers will keep this one close, (and I am pulling for them) but the 12th Man will rise to the occasion and send the Seahawks to meet the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Seattle's defense is just as good as Buffalo's defense. If they watch Week 15 and use the same 4-3 Buffalo used in week 15, the Seahawks will win guaranteed. Pressure Rodgers in the pocket.
I think the Seahawks have to be considered the favorite, if nothing else because of Rodgers' limited mobility. The Packers *do* have a very good offensive line and Eddie Lacy, and Clay Matthews can be disruptive to the middle of the field, but Russell Wilson puts so much pressure on defenses to guess where he's going with the football. He might not be a fantasy football fan fave but the guy flat out kills it again and again in key situations. He does the whole "mobile quarterback" thing better than anyone I've seen. In addition, while I normally considered home field advantage to be much overrated, it's not in the case of Seattle, where the loud stadium noise can become a visible distraction. I won't say that Packers can't win this one, but I like the Seahawks chances. Seahawks 24 Packers 16. This might be one of those games in which Rodgers has a chance to rally his team for a tie or lead late, but I think Wilson will make big plays and Seattle's defense will hold late.
The Patriots destroyed Indy in the middle of the season, but this will be a much tougher game for New England. Unlike the Ravens, the Colts have seen the Patriots before. I think they can adjust to their speed and they now know a lot more of the stunts that Belichick will pull. My basic conclusion about the Patriots is that, toward the end of the season, they're typically not necessarily the best team in terms of talent; they're just so extraordinarily well-coached that they will beat teams that aren't a) talented and b) ready for what the Pats are going to throw at them. I've thought that the Pats were the team to beat all year, but I'm going to go out on a fragile limb and consider myself taken in by the Colts late-season run. I think Luck gets to his first Super Bowl. Colts 27 Patriots 23. I hate, hate, hate to pick against Belichick and Brady - no logic to it really. Just a gut feeling.
