Superbowl? (I'm feeling Ravens vs. Saints)

The top seeds in both division are special this year...and noticeably above the rest of the pack.

When it works it's amazing. When it doesn't big plays happen. I'll take Green Bay's defense and game plan over any other team in the NFL today. Green Bay is a special team, and I'm glad I'm around to see it.

I took it as you have discussed GBs defense with folks over and over and that folks continue to doubt GBs defense. Folks are often hard-headed! (me included!)

Brothers as Head Coaches and all that........

The Patriots have not beat a winning team this season. And the Ravens only lose to .500 and below teams......I see the AFC Championship game being up in Foxboro with the Ravens eking out a win.

The Saints are streaking right now, the Giants seem to save their best stuff for January, I don't know enough about the 49ers and I'll be looking to see whether the Packers can be really dominant.
