In reality, I believe both #1 seeds fall this weekend. Tough luck for anybody who would end up having to travel to Pitt or Charlotte.

All that being said, if you want one reason why the NFL is so popular just look at the matchups this week, and even next week. Not a single time slot that won't have a game that matters.

comments, analysis, etc welcome......

I think its looking like the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants in the Super Bowl....and the Steelers winning.

I dont know about the Giants there at this time. They are having a hard time this past 3 weeks or so. I would think the Panthers would be the pick at this moment from the NFC, with the Cowboys a second choice if they make the playoffs.

Eagles- I hate to say.

I think that tie to the Bungles is going to comeback to haunt Philly. One loss and their out.

Yep. I honestly look for the Redskins to come out and beat the Eagles this weekend. Hopefully, the will rally around "the worst coach in America" and come out and beat the Eagles. I also don't trust Reid to keep running the football like he has been. Get the Eagles behind early, and they'll start throwin it fifty times a game again.

I look for the Conference Finals or whatever they are called to look like this...Dallas @ Carolina, Colts @ Steelers.

Dallas vs. Colts in the Big game.
