Quick poll, what would you like? I’m hoping for Chiefs-Rams or Chargers-Rams. ---

I think it’s kind of early for this, and a poll that discounts Chicago’s chances is really not much of a poll, is it? Perhaps you should expand the choices and start over… ---

12 teams make the NFL playoffs. Way to eliminate half the field two weeks before the regular season even ends. ---

What a weird set of choices. For me it’s Chiefs v. Bears. ---

It seems weird as a Texans fan to not pick the Texans option, but I don’t think they ‘deserve’ to end up in the Super Bowl. They just aren’t good enough, yet. Now, it doesn’t matter how ‘good’ a team is, and plenty of times the Super Bowl’s been won by a team which wasn’t objectively considered among the best of the field going into the playoffs, but that’s how I see it. I think the Chargers and Saints would provide the most entertaining game. By which I mean the greatest offensive show. It’d be the Chiefs before they kicked out Hunt for being a woman-beating asshole, but such is life. ---

I’d prefer the Bears or the Redskins out of the NFC. There’s an annual SDMB pick the Super Bowl winner contest once we know the playoff teams. ---

Other – Tennessee vs. Washington, a.k.a. “my favorite team vs. the worst team in the other conference that hasn’t been eliminated from the playoffs.” Oddly enough, we’re getting a preview on national TV Saturday! (You’re forgiven if you don’t watch.) As a neutral, I want to see Kansas City. We’ve seen Chiefs-Rams already, so let’s try Chiefs-Saints. ---

I’d only want Patriots in the game if it was Pats vs. Bears, Mack and Co. re-enact 1985, and kick Brady’s ass so hard he retires immediately following the game. As a Raiders fan I have to hate the Chargers but objectively Rivers deserves at least one shot in the big game. ---
