2008 NFL Playoff Picks

[gingerbreadmann]

I see people are posting their picks in the general playoffs thread. I think we should have 1 thread dedicated to picks so we can calculate the winners, etc., and the general thread can be just discussion (similar to what we have had the whole season). I think last year Will tallied it all up, and maybe he will again, but so let's get this started nonetheless. I don't remember the specific rules or if there are special bonuses for picking the Super Bowl, etc. so for now just post your picks. You can change them until the start of the 1st playoff game.

Right now I'm not too confident in any of my picks; should be fun to watch at least.

Edit: I just realized the NFL re-seeds, sort of, so I'm re-doing these.

Titans to win it all? Got any money you want to bet there kid?

You had to quote me so if/when I change it, in the end I'll still probably look stupid.

It's no worse than thinking the Colts are going to win it all or that somehow the Panthers will reach the Super Bowl.
