It seems many posters respond--------" that's no sleeper"---when other posters make a pick.

In my opinion, every team in the playoffs this year could be classified a " sleeper" as I don't see one head and shoulders above the rest.

The Colts come closest, but I wouldn't even put them out of the " sleeper " category.

He's a huge part of their offense (Brady's buddy in the clutch)...

...and he's hurt.

Initial tests on Welker's injured knee revealed a torn ACL and MCL, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. He'll undergo more tests Monday to confirm that diagnosis.

ok, so hence they are now considered a "SLEEPER" since we cant possibly win without him.

A boston globe colimnist said it best:

If the Patriots were so reliant on him that his absence will now destroy their Super Bowl hopes – however slim they were – then they probably weren’t championship material to begin with. As such, there is simply no point in using his injury as any kind of excuse. In a sport like football, a 5-foot-9, 190-pound slot receiver should not be the difference between ultimate success and failure.




You must have missed that Welkers replacement a darn near carbon copy of Welker, Julian Edleman had double digit catches for over 100 yards also in limited play time.

Good point, that does enforce the sleeper label.

I agree...I'm going with the Eagles, as pathetic as they looked yesterday. They'll win Saturday, avenge the regular season losses to the Cowgirls, and Dallas continues their playoff drought. And I think Dallas will be the toughest team the Eagles will face in the playoffs, at least until the Super Bowl.

Yesterday truly was Rollover Sunday, I can't recall so many teams taking intentional dives for a myriad of reasons
