WC Weekend

PIT over JAX

SD over TEN

NO over DET

NYG over SEA

 

Divisional Rd

NE over SD

IND over PIT

DAL over NYG

GB over NO

 

Championship Rd

NE over IND

DAL over GB

 

Superbowl

NE over DAL

 

A little surprised at the JAX pick as they seem to be a team on the downswing but who else would you put in this spot? Maybe Cleveland if they can keep it up..

 

They've got the Saints ending up 11-5. Going 7-1 over their final 8 games would be quite an accomplishment.

I like Cleveland better than Jacksonville.

 

So with a bye(GB) the Saints would probably visit Lambeau in January.

WOW!! So Dallas and NE in the SB!! I mean being a Dallas fan and all that would be great but that could be a rough game. But really who else from the NFC could give them a better game than Dallas could?
