Looks lime everyone who made predictions this weekend went 3-1 except for Masterfins going 2-2.   Now we've got some critical matchups. 

The Brady/Manning Bowl headlines the early game as New England travels to Denver. 

Then Arizona takes on Carolina in the late game.

I'm taking the home teams in this one although gut feeling says I'm going to be wrong on at least one

Going to be rooting really hard for Denver in AFC game, but after what I saw this weekend, I would be shocked if NE does not win.

NFC is up for grabs, but I am going with Arizona.

I'd say NE takes the game fairly easily. I'll also go with the Panthers taking the NFC game.

I really hope New England loses. My some rooting "tactic" this playoffs has been "whoever has the best chance of being the Patriots". Sad.

If I'm being honest, I probably want NE to win it all, for two reasons:

1) Preserving Peyton's total of 1 championship makes it easy to cite his brother when talking to the "but what about the rings!" people; only an idiot would think Eli is a better QB than Peyton

2) The Brady vs. Marino ship has sailed over the horizon and lapped the earth.  However, if Brady can pass Montana in rings, then at least some good will have come from it (for me, as a 49er hater).

It also doesn't hurt that NE winning means that another team has lost, and a certain "lifelong fan" on this board gets to disappear again for a while.

1) Why would you need to cite his brother?   I agree Peyton is better than Eli.  There are so many examples you can cite, Dilfer being the most common.

2) I do rank Brady ahead of Marino but not because he has more rings.  I have done it based on my observations.  I would rank Marino ahead of quarterbacks such as Montana, Elway, Staubach, Bradshaw, and Aikman.  (Here's a fact many people might not know about Aikman.  He came within a bad call, (and subsequent dumb penalty from his head coach) from winning FOUR consecutive Super Bowls).

I wonder, was Aikman vs Young the 1990s version of Brady vs. Manning?

Spider, I still am curious to where your 49er hatred comes from.  The Dolphins and 49ers only met once in the Superbowl.

If the Patriots do win the Super Bowl this year, it will be Brady's first Super Bowl that Adam Vinatieri did not help him win.

Last time the Patriots played the Broncos in the AFC Championship, Peyton Manning had one of his finest games in the playoffs.

Exactly how did Vinatieri help the Patriots win last year?

I suppose a very tortured leap of logic could bring you to the conclusion that he helped by playing in the 45-7 drubbing NE gave IND in the AFCCG, but if that's your criteria, then he helped again this year by playing for the Colts in the 34-27 Week 6 loss against the Patriots... a win that ended up securing a first-round bye for the Patriots, in which Julian Edelman got healthy.
