And then there were 8. Only 8 teams left that have a chance to go all the way and win the Superbowl XL. Here’s my take.
- Washington at Seattle
Seattle Seahawks have the best record in the NFC. They have been a pretty good team for the past couple of years. But not during the playoffs. This will be a battle of the ground game. Washinton better come up with a better gameplan to score more points and to stop MVP Shaun Alexander. I will give Seattle the benefit of the doubt that they are different from last year. Seattle (+3)
- New England at Denver
How can anyone go againts the New England Patriots. What seems to be a game that they could not win, they find a way. 10-0 in the playoffs, odds are they will be 11-0. Although Denver is having a very good year, they are not the same team that won their 2 Superbowl with John Elway & Terrel Davis. Patriots (+7)
- Pittsburgh at Indianapolis
Indy will have it’s way against the Steelers. But it will not be easy. If the Steelers get the power running going, they have a chance. If not, they are doomed. Colts (-3)
- Carolina at Chicago
Battle of the defense? Well, sort of. But if Carolina can get 1 touchdown, they have the biggest chance. Chicago has to score points. If their defense has to do it, then so be it. I like the Panthers to win this one. Panthers (+7)
