wow, alasdairm my man, those are some fairly radical picks. good luck to ya :)

I am taking the not-radical path and picking the higher seeded home teams. the only teams that I can see upsetting are the Ravens and the Eagles, but who knows? this is truly one of the most excitable NFL playoffs I have seen in a long, long time.
 
as a person who truly bleeds black and gold, I hope you are correct!

their defensive play is amazing. it is just going to be on Big Ben. if he doesn't have one of those three INT nights he has once every 6 or so games, the Steelers could very well win it all. Carolina looks tough in the NFC as do the Giants, of course. both of those teams can run the ball damn well.
 
I think I'm in the minority in that I DISLIKE the fact that this year's play-offs lack an elite team.

IMO, last year's Play-offs were SOOOOO much more exciting than this year's are.

This year, every single team left save Arizona has a fighting chance to win it all.

It's almost as bad as baseball.

With that out of the way, my picks be these:

baltimore 13
TENNESSEE 26

arizona 20
CAROLINA 27

philadelphia 16
NEW YORK 27

san diego 31
PITTSBURGH 13
