I was going to make this poll earlier to get more votes...I don't see this topic yet. I'm only going to keep it open for 48 hours, since by that time our first playoff games will have already been played. Hopefully quite a few of you will vote.
My vote goes for the Giants in a repeat. Yes, it's a safe pick, but the Giants are quite simply the most well-rounded team in the game. The Panthers will give them quite the run for their money within their own conference though.
Although I'm a fan of the Eagles, I think it's pretty much anyone's game, with some team's having an advatage. Teams like Arizona, Minnesota, Miami will probably fall this weekend. I can see Philly beating NYG, since without Plaxico they don't have a passing game. Carolina is another tough team, but definitely beatable.
On the AFC side, I think the 3 toughest teams are Baltimore, Indy, and Pittsburgh. If Indy plays well, they will make it to the Superbowl.
It seems like the AFC teams are tougher, and most likely will win, if not my birds!

Sorry, missing Plaxico does not affect the Giants that much, and Baltimore is led by a rookie QB. Roethlisberger won every regular season game his rookie year then lost his first playoff game. Rookie QBs don't lead their teams to Super Bowls.

What about Peyton's experience in doing it two years ago and making it to the conference championship almost every year? I think the Chargers are gone this weekend. They have a terrible pass defense and Peyton is just going to pass up-and-down the field with no opposition. It will be a fun shootout game, but Peyton basically always wins shootouts.
On the other hand, I don't think the Colts will win the Super Bowl because they have no running game. They could make it there but I also doubt that they will get past Pittsburgh's crushing defense.

Defenses are what win games. Excellent defense with a mediocre offense will win games better than an excellen offense with no defense. I say they have a chance, despite the inexperienced QB
And Plax does affect the Gmen, as well as Brandon Jacob's questionable health.

True, defense does win championships, but I just don't think the Ravens are strong enough this year to make it to the Super Bowl. If they had a more experienced QB I'd say they have a chance but I would still say that it's unlikely.

Sure, they lost their best receiver, but the Giants are good enough to overcome it. They have great depth at nearly every position. Defense and running win championships, and the Giants are great at both. Even with a shaky Brandon Jacobs they have a better running game than most teams.

Aight, we'll just have to wait and see. So many ways this can play out, I'm not the type to argue 'any given Sunday' results. Hopefully Eli will have taken his 'short bus pills' in time for them to kick in onec they hit the field.

I have to say Carolina and not just b/c i'm a fan. The Panthers remind me of the Giants of last year. A solid defense, a killer running game, a QB who can win the game if need be, a playmaker WR. The panthers like the giants of 07 got hot at the right time with one close loss to a super bowl favorite. I think the panthers will run the table and win the Super Bowl.
