What are all these "Assuming" threads about

Denver or the Ravens - AFC
Anybody but Atlanta - NFC

If crazy things happen and Tampa or Dallas make it, that will make me pretty sick too. *reaches for Pepto* Still, anybody but Atlanta all the way.

My "Saints" of the AFC Houston Texans

I'm also pulling for Ole Peyton "How 'bout that" Manning.

NFC: Saints (Screw all y'all!) We're gonna make it!

Without the Saints in the mix I just go for the GOOD GAME philosophy. Not pulling for one team, pulling for two teams to be pitted against each other and make a GOOD GAME.

Memories of some of those AFC playoff games when I was a kid, "The Drive," Bills/Oilers "The Comeback," the famous "we want the ball and we're gonna score" game, Patriots in a snowstorm, etc etc... I felt no allegiance for either of the teams but they were some damn incredible football games.

IDK, I'll follow them a little bit and focus mostly on Championship Sunday & the SuperBowl, depends on how much ice is forming around here. Houston has a real good chance, but the Patriots have been there before & don't forget Baltimore or Pittsburgh. The NFC is a hot mess, I don't even want to think about it.

ditto.

I just cant find it in me to care about the Texans. If the Oilers were
still here, I'd want them to win. But I just cant get into the Texans,
or that dumb stadium. I watched a movie Sunday, while the Texans
were playing.

Anyone except Atlanta and the 49ers, but I would rather the 49ers get to the Superbowl then Atlanta

Mighty A$$, Mighty A$$!!! Wait, what? Matty Ice!??, that makes NO sense at all!!! LOL

I'm hoping for a first-time Super Bowl champion (Houston, Cincinnati, Atlanta). Indy winning it all would be a nice story too. Just please not one of the usual winners (Pittsburg, New England, Green Bay, Giants) - or the Niners - yuck!

Personally, I agree with you Oak. Assumptions have always ended poorly for myself, lol. I just never learn my lesson.
