> [@Airman\_Doors\_USAF](#): > > See? Let me give you a Terrible Towel to dry your eyes with. Hey I had to deal with a Broncos fan that is 100% serious that the reason they played so badly last year in the Super Bowl was that they were paid off. ---

Seattle was last year’s Batman. They were prepared. Everyone is prepared this year. Except for the Panthers. And maybe Indy. ---

Gotta say, this is the least diverse group of picks we’ve ever had – just about everyone is playing it really safe with very few outlier picks. Looking for Cardinals, Panthers, Ravens, Bengals or Colts picks? None to be found here. Only two players picked the Lions, both of them looking at them to come out on the losing end. ---

There is one Cardinals pick to be found: dalej42. Otherwise, yeah, like I said before, most seem to think the Patriots will take the AFC unless you like the Steeles (little confidence in the Broncos), and 3 teams seem to have the NFC relatively equal divided between them. Hm. ---
