I... Really don't want anyone to win. So I'll say Packers because they're the team with the best chance that I dislike less.

What'd Pittsburgh ever do to you? :p

I'm not sure the Bees will make it past the Chiefs even.

But uh, picks yeah. Pats blow out the Texans, Chiefs narrowly beat Pittsburgh, Packers beat the Cowboys and Falcons beat the Seahawks after missing a game winning field goal

Wait, so the Seahawks will be the ones to miss the game-winning field goal? I'd certainly laugh.

1.) Patriots pummel the Texans at home. (Seriously? This happens literally almost every year now. It's almost not even worth predicting.)

2.) Chiefs edge the Steelers, thanks to awesome D.

3.) Packers and Cowboys have a shootout, before the Packers win it.

4.) Seahawks overwhelm the Failcans.

Nothing like the stadium that picks up on earthquake meters because of the enthusiasm. I'm pretty sure I'd be shit scared in that arena.

I was actually at the Superdome a few years ago when they recorded us for Guinness. I was told we were only a little ways off from the record.

AFC Divisional:

Chiefs beat Pittsburgh by about 7-14

Houston hangs with the Pats for a little bit, but after that, it's not even close...

AFC Championship:

Chiefs edge Pats. 'nuff said

NFC Divisional:

Packers edge Cowboys in a low-scoring game. I'd expect a BIG injury to come out of this one.

Falcons edge Seahawks.

NFC Championship:
Packers and Falcons rip each other's defenses apart, but the Packers prevail.

Super Bowl:

Anyone's game, I'll take the Chiefs by 3 over the Packers.
I'm a Browns fan. PERFECT SEASON, BABY!

My revised divisional picks: Pats, Steelers, Packers, Seahawks.

I'd like a Pats-Packers Super Bowl, a repeat of Super Bowl XXXI which we lost in New Orleans (and afterwards the Green Beans poached Parcells away from us).

So, the divisional round of the playoffs actually has one representative from each division this year. I've always thought that was a weird name for this round of the playoffs, but this time, it actually fits. Maybe that was the intention behind it all along.
