SUPER BOWL POLL - Which teams do you want to see in the big game?

[FUN X 3]

Now that the NFL is down to the final four, which match-up would you like to see in the Super Bowl?

I want to see the X Factor square off against the #1 defense. What about you?

Patriots will be underdogs again next week and surprise everyone by beating Pitts for the AFC Championship and then beat PHI in the Superbowl.

I want a ticket to the Super Bowl at face value!!!!!!! Eagles/Steelers would be nice but I think The Pats will beat the Steelers for two reasons:1 Corey Dillon is healthy this time and 2. Rothlesberger is no longer a secret. His weaknesses are known and the Pats will exploit them.

The Pats will beat the Steelers.....heck, the "shouldn't have even been there Jets" almost beat them. Professionals only need a little push to get them to rise to a higher level. Nobody gave the World Champion Patriots a chance against the Colts.....the Colts kicker even said the Pats were ripe for the picking. That's all the Pats needed to show the world they were still King of the Hill. Do you really think Tom Brady and crew are going to let a rookie QB keep them from the chance at winning another ring? Like I said earlier, I'm a believer in the Pats. If you can shut down the Colts offense, you can shut down any team. It'll be a hard fought game, but the Pats will be victorious.

Yesterday was the first time I've seen the Falcons play. Dunn and Vick are incredible. I think they'll beat the Eagles and then give the Patriots a decent fight in Super Bowl XXXIX, but the Pats will find a way to defend their title and go back to Mass with the trophy.

I can only hope this is the last year they do it. I'm so sick of them beating the Colts I could..........

Take all this with a grain of salt. I haven't gotten anything right all year......from baseball to football. Now I think I'll go to bed and forget this whole stinking day!!!

Ray,
You got to take it easy. The Colts are a good team and will come into their own soon. It almost happened this year. They do need three things to improve their position in the league.

1. Go out and buy some players to help the defense, especially linebackers.
2. Rip the darn dome off their stadium, football was made to be played in the elements.
3. Learn how to play in your face football (smash mouth).

To win really big games along with a good offense you need a punishing defense. Both PITTS and NE have that type of skilled player but NE has been there before so they get a little edge. I predict a very close game and NE wins by a FG at the end.

Well I guess I'm in the underdog category here by the voting above. So far I'm 6 & 2 in the playoffs, wish I would have gotten in a pool someplace, then I probably would have been 2 & 6. Well the Pats just looked way too good last night. I can not believe they will lose to the Steelers, I don't know what it is about them, just the "feel" of how they play. I also think that in the battle of the scrambling quarterbacks Michael Vick will prevail. The Eagles just didn't execute when they had to. The seemed to struggle against a much weaker team where the Falcons simply crushed the Lams.

Any way you slice it, TBN members need to support the NFC this year. No matter what happens this Sunday it will be the Birds vs. The AFC in the Super Bowl

Re: SUPER BOWL POLL - Which teams do you want to see in the big game?

Well I'll go out on a limb here and say the Eagles will beat the Falcons. Michael Vick is a fantastic runner and only a so so passer. He is dazzling when he runs with the ball but that is only part of the game. I must add that Dunn is also a fine runner. But they can't both run the ball at one time. The Eagles have a well rounded offense with a running game that compliments a powerful passing game. McNabb, who is now a premier QB, has had a great year with two passing touchdowns again yesterday. He could have had a third except for the fumble on the goal line that went out of bounds. Westbrook is fantastic out of the backfield or at wide receiver and when he isn't running the ball to keep the defense honest, that old pro Dorsey Levens goes straight into the line. Now about the defense: It might be the best in the NFC. Moss, no relation, had only 3 or 4 catches yesterday and they were of the short variety. Its well known in Philly, that if you catch or miss a pass over the middle, you're going to get hit hard. Yes they get burned sometimes by the run but that's because they have as many defensive sets as the opposing offense has plays. Sometimes they overrun and that will have to be corrected for the Atlanta game. In short when the Falcon 6 man team arrives in Philly they will find they're playing eleven man football. Fly Eagles Fly.

Can the Eagles choke again for the fourth straight year?

I think they can, and I think (weather permitting), that the Falcons can soar to victory over the Eagles. May the better bird of prey prevail there.

If the Steelers keep the ball on the ground and don't let Roethlisberger give the ball away, they have a chance, especially on a wet, nasty field. But the Pats know the way to the Bowl, and have a better balance of offense and defense than Pittsburgh.

I'm leaning toward a Falcons vs. Patriots SuperBowl XXXIX!
