Talk about awful timing for an injury to occur. Bye-bye Bengals play-offs. I feel for Marvin Lewis, he had done one helluva job, and then this happened.

yeah sucks to have a big guy blocked into you like that
I liked Kimo's reaction tho, you can tell he obviously wasn't trying to hurt anyone and felt like shit that happened
that being said, Kitna played pretty ok
Hard to say what would have happened if Palmer had been able to stay in

The Patriots will beat Denver.
Indy will beat Pitts.
The Patriots and Indy in the AFC Campionship.
Will be an interesting game to say the least.
Panthers will beat the Bears.
Seattle will destroy Washington.
Seattle and NC in the NFC Campionship.
Seattle will win.
My guess is that it will be New England and Seattle in the Super Bowl with NE winning by a field goal.

Denver is going to beat New England. I don't see the Pats winning at Mile High, with Shanahans team rested up and ready, unless Plummer has a bad game. There's a huge difference between Jax at home and Denver on the road. Denver had the toughest division and schedule, outside of SD, and will rough up New England, who had a soft schedule.
It really wouldn't surprise me if Washington beats Seattle, too. They are paper tigers. Although if Taylor doesn't play, that'll hurt the Skins a lot.

'Skins may not win against Seattle, but we have a chance for sure. Not sure where "Seattle will destroy Washington" comes from since we already beat them once this year. Granted it was an overtime win, but still we can play Seattle. I think the greatest thing going against us at the moment is going to be fatigue. We've already had to be in play-off mode for 6 weeks now.

Except Washington is a team of Vets, with good coaching. I doubt Fatigue will be a factor.
If anything, Seattle has more of a chance of coming out slower and getting down fast. Especially if they don't have a good plan for Moss and Portis.

The Panthers have to play a team with actual linebackers next week. Look for another vintage Foster day: 20 carries for 50 yards and a Carolina loss.

All four games next weekend are rematches from the regular season with the Colts, Redskins, Broncos, and Bears winning.

I dunno
it's not like kitna played poorly (unlike the bengals defense)
You could say almost the same thing about the game the bengals beat the steelers
even with 4 turnovers, the steelers put up 31 pts
I think the Colts will probably beat the steelers
I'm hoping that the steelers play better and win, but i'm not willing to put any cash on it
NE will beat denver I think
Bears over Carolina (Vasher + safety is good enough to cover Smith, and there's no way Foster runs on the bears Defense)
I think seattle will stomp washington this time

We'll never know, but my guess is with Palmer in there, Cinci pastes 40 on the Steelers.
Pitt will get thoroughly killed in Indy, unless Roethlisberger has the game of his life. Martyball won't work in the dome against the Colts.

I think it'll depend on whether or not the steelers can quiet the crowd
if indy starts fast (like the regular season) the colts put up 40
if the steelers get the ball first, and march down the field for 10 or 11 plays and get a td, and then force the colts to punt on their 1st drive, the steelers will win 24-14
however, if the steelers have Ditka, then they win 244-0

Can't help but like the Steelers as a team. Bettis is still a BEAST. And love their new QB, Mr Burger. And that long-haired samoan on the D, Palomalu, he is awesome also. Love this team.

New England is going to get destroyed in Denver. There is very few, if any, better home fields than Invesco at Mile High.
The stomping of Jacksonville is nothing to get excited about - they played horrifically.
Denver 34, New England 17
The Indy game will be better in my opinion. Pittsburgh is really hitting their stride, and it's up in the air if Indy still has theirs. I know Pitt had a couple of injuries in the Cinci game, and im curious how those will play out.
Indy 31, Pitt 21
Bears and Panthers will be a decent game, simply because niether team has much of an offense, and a key turnover might decide it.
Chicago 17, Carolina 13
Washington has no offense. Seattle is going to kill them.
Seattle 28, Washington 10
Those are my picks. I usually pick like shit though. It was fun to write however.

ps, holy shit
manning sends punt team back to the sidelines, and over rules Dungy
they converted, but that kinda erodes a bit of Dungy's authority
I dunno, maybe it's just coaching to let him do it

After the game, Dungy said that he told them to go for the first down but the punt them got a bit excited and ran onto the field.
