08 Playoff Picks

The Falcons scare me as a Panthers fan. If Westbrook is healthy, Phildelphia can make a run to the NFC Championship.

On the AFC side, I would be terrified of the Chargers. Yes, terrified. They are going to drill someone in the playoffs. They are finally healthy.

My picks:

[U]Wildcard[/U]
[B]Minnesota[/B] vs Philly
[B]Atlanta[/B] vs Arizona
[B]Indianapolis[/B] vs San Diego
[B]Miami[/B] vs Baltimore

[U]Divisional[/U]
[B]New York[/B] vs Atlanta
[B]Minnesota[/B] vs Carolina
[B]Tennessee[/B] vs Indianapolis
[B]Pittsburgh[/B] vs Miami

[U]Championship[/U]
[B]Minnesota[/B] vs New York
[B]Tennessee[/B] vs Pittsburgh

[U]Superbowl[/U]
[B]MINNESOTA[/B] vs Tennessee

The Vikings?

Really?

I can see some of those picks, but maybe Im not getting the joke.

Not that he’s going to keep it up, but Tarvaris Jackson has played really well the past three weeks. If they have a legitimate passing game they are really tough to beat. Not saying they are going to win it all, but if they get past the Eagles I could see them giving the Panthers a really tough game.

Divisional
PANTHERS over their opponent as determined on wild card weekend

Championships
PANTHERS over the remaining NFC opposition

Super Bowl
PANTHERS over the AFC champion

I only selected the games that matter.

From a Charlotte Observer sports page perspective, I wonder if Mike Persinger would rather have a Panthers Super Bowl win OR a UNC-Chapel Hill National Championship?

[QUOTE=CMack124;373294]I think it’s going to be one of the defensive teams this year. [/QUOTE]

That doesn’t bode well for the Panthers.

[U]Cardinals [/U]over Dirty Birds
[U]Vikings [/U]over Iggles
[U]Colts [/U]over Bolts
[U]Ravens [/U]over Fish

[B][U]Divisional[/U][/B]
STEELERS over Quoth the Raven never more
[U]PANTHERS [/U]over Attila the Huns
[U]GIANTS[/U] over RedBirds
[U]TITANS [/U]over Horsies

[B][U]Championships[/U][/B]
[U]PANTHERS [/U]over GMen
[U]TITANS [/U]over SteelMillers

[U][B]Super Bowl[/B][/U]
[U]Panthers [/U]over MusicCityMen

So we have…

1 for Minnesota
1 for San Diego
Lots for the Panthers

I’m going to say it will be the lions… but only because I don’t want to jinx the home team :biggrin:

I think we should decide the SB Champion by a majority vote. All in favor? :slight_smile:

[U]Wildcard
[/U]
Bal over Mia
Ind over SD
Min over Phi
Atl over Ari

[U]Divisional

[/U]Bal over Ten
Pit over Ind
Atl over NYG
Car over Min

[U]Championship[/U]

Car over NYG
Pit over Bal

[U]Superbowl[/U]

Car over Pit

I do have a little bit of bias here. I have been a Steelers fan my entire life and I am trying to change my allegiance over to the Panthers though. If the Steelers and Panthers both make the Superbowl, it will be the first time I have cheered for the Panthers over the Steelers.
