The Packers can give the Pats problems, so all the Pats haters, you are Favre fans.

I am anxious to see that happen (since I think it is the best game, and I picked it, lol).

 

[FaT_tONle]

If you're worried about jinxing things, I would be talking to the people that have already assumed the Packers have stomped New York.

I'd give the Giants just as much shot as the Packers in a Superbowl (against the Pats)... I just think... its a night game... banged up secondary... it just can't be done... I don't think anyone will be pulling for the Giants next week anywhere in the country other than Giant fans... Giants/Pat rematch would be such a lack luster marquee matchup.

Congrats to NY fans...I just can't get any team I like to win. Hopefully the Mavs can do it in basketball this season.

I hope San Diego will somehow pull an upset in NE and now I'm going for Green Bay all the way.

 

[LostSon88]

Lets go NFC!!!

Packers or Giants (leaning towards the Pack)

...so long as it aint the Pats or Chargers holdin' the Lombardi Trophy come Febuary.

Dude... you call yourself a Pat fan? Seriously... there is no way they are losing this game... don't pencil in the Superbowl just yet... the football Gods have a funny way of returning the favor...

2001 = Pats team of destiny....

2007 = Pack team of destiny?

I would love to see things go full circle... I really think the Pack would have a shot...

Dudette, thank you. Do I want them to win? Absolutely. Do I think they will? Absolutely. But I'm not going to go pre-order my NE Superbowl Champs gear just yet. Call me cautious if you like... I prefer to keep the Bellichick mentality - one game at a time.

If we (New England) have to lose in the superbowl, I would prefer it to be to Favre. Of course... I don't think that'll be the case

Well whether or not the country is pulling for them doesn't seem to affect them, as they just beat "American's Team". They like the underdog role, they seem to thrive off it. I see this as the Steelers/Jaguars game. Everyone seems to be expecting a blow out, but what they got was a surprise. Not saying the Giants will win, but I don't think it is as done a deal as a lot of people do.

You like the Boys and the Mavs too?

Then we are equals. Life sucks right now.

 

[cookiva]

Yeah, now Im going for the Pack.

I hate the comparison... first of all the road team was the favorite in that wild card game so I don't know why you threw that in there... you want to give the Giants will keep it close... that's one thing... you want to give me "Just look at today"... that's another thing... one thing I know is that this is not the 04/05 Packers... Farve has re-invented the his wheel... the man is playing at a different level right now... Grant is playing at a different level right now... that defense in NO WHERE NEAR as bad as the Cowboys D... man that's the best defensive unit left in the field right now... the Giants have absolutely NO SHOT in this game... write that down... I almost said the same thing about today I'll admit that... but I didn't trust the Cowboys and it was too close for me to guarantee a win... any given Sunday yeah... and it seems you can only make guarantees when it comes to the Pats... but this game will be a party. Tough for a Bear fan to admit that I know.

hehe, Dallas seems to be the land of upsets right now. One day that curse will be broken !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I'm gonna say Green Bay/San Deigo Super Bowl. You can call me crazy about New England not winning the AFC Championship. I just think the Chargers can pull out a win.

 

[Showtime]

I can't believe some of you are giving to the Packers and Patriots before it is all said and done.

Another person with the Bellichick attitude That is... presuming you're a Pats fan

*looks at location...

 

[FaT_tONle]

Hopefully

Hopefully sooner than 2059 or some sh:t... look at the Packer drought... the Steeler drought... all storied franchises that took years to get back there... I really want to see the team play for a Superbowl by the end of the decade.

 

[BlackLantern]

the Giants defeated Dallas and eliminated them from the post season....i could deal with them losing to Favre and the Packers

I hope Brett Favre wins it all for Green Bay. I sometimes don't like cheering for QB's who already have won a Super Bowl(unless it's my team), but Brett deserves it. Mike McCarthy presence on that team is overshadowed with Brett Favre. He deserves it also.

I went 1-3 this weekend. Thought the Seattle/Green Bay game would be the upset. Turns out it was the other 2 games.

 

[Anguissette1979]

I'm hoping for one of these next weekend

 

[FaT_tONle]

Dungy in all likely hood gone... Clayton is spot on about these things... I think its a good time... Colts run could be on the decline from here on out...

It's supposed to be real nice in Boston on Sunday. They do however have a high of 16° degrees.

Green Bay the same way, only they have a high of 11° degrees.

 

[BlackLantern]

so we all might get 2 games with some snow....that would be "Teh Awes0mez" as the kids say these days

 

[The Chris]

I'm pulling for the giants to go all the way, but I like Favre and the pack so if i had to pick who to lose to, it would be them. But, I would really like another crack at them patriots!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Yeah, it's supposed to snow Fri, Sat, Mon and Tue in Green Bay. I'm sure will get a little snow on Sun.
