What about the Falcons/Jets game? Atlanta 10 - Jets 7. I'm sure they'll have a DVD boxed set of the highlights of that game. :shakehead:

The Pats played a dull game to beat the Bills, but the Pats have been playing lackluster for a while now.

However, the Packers-Steelers & Dolphins-Titans games were pretty good.

I won't buy it unless there's extras like a second audio commentary and a "making of a boring football game."

Giants rout the Redskins, 45-12.

But it might be "too little, too late" for them.

I can't imagine being a Redskins fan watching that game. :sweat: What exactly were they (Redskins) going for on that last play before halftime? :headscratch:

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure Shanahan won't be using that one next year.

49ers if memory serves. SF is not so hot this year, but the "Bolts" have always had a struggle getting over on the NFC. It should be fun to watch.

Not in 2006.

Chargers got routed in the Super Bowl in 1994 by the Niners, 49-26.

It was actually the Pats winning 24-21. But then we went on to lose to the Colts, a game we should have had. :shakehead:

Ya, that's the contest I was thinking of. :banghead:

So who are the favorites for going to the Super Bowl?

Just based on the records you gotta think the Saints and Vikings in the NFC and the Chargers and the Colts in the AFC.

Chargers trounced the Titans, 42-17, last night... Ten straight wins for them and looking awfully unbeatable. :sweat:

Gut feeling tells me Chargers vs Vikes. Too early to tell of course.

Whoever takes on the Vikes. I'm rooting for.

I wanna see the Colts go all the way. :victory:

Pats have no issues with Jacksonville, 35-7.

What a mess that AFC wildcard is. :usuck: Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Houston all have 8 wins, if Denver loses and the Jets win, 5 way tie going into the final week. :doh:
