Prediction Contest Divisional Round Picks

PrintSo people suggested using the Simple Playoff Prediction leaderboard thread as the official thread to give out next picks. I was ok with that but with only a few days to go I feel there should be more picks then there already are. So, since it's going slowly, I'm opening this to be the official pick thread for the divisional round. Remember, if you don't pick this round by the first game on Saturday, you're out of the contest.
Also, just a reminder saying if you didn't participate in this from the beginning, it's fine to put your picks down, but you won't be part of the contest.
My picks:
Dallas
Arizona
Indianapolis
San Diego

We’d have the NFC Championship this year and the SuperBowl games the next played in Cowboys Stadium. GO COWBOYS and Cardinals!!!

Speak not with your mouth, but through your actions.
I'm going with.
Dallas
Cards
Don’t care but I’ll go with.
Indy
Jets
Jets are playing this weekend right?
Texas: Where God goes to relax.
Unless he's watching the Cowboys.
This is your second input
You changed it from Saints to Cards. That’s what I’m putting on the chart, ok? Seeing as this is your “official” pick.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 11-5!!!
2009 New York Jets: not 11-5 :(, but PLAYOFFS!!!
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25, despite the recent molestation at the hands of the Lakers
I don't even remember what color my socks are. Oh, there they are, white btw.
How can I be expected to remember something that I did 3 days ago?
Texas: Where God goes to relax.
Unless he's watching the Cowboys.
I didn't say you remembered/forgot anything
Just confirming this is it.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 11-5!!!
2009 New York Jets: not 11-5 :(, but PLAYOFFS!!!
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25, despite the recent molestation at the hands of the Lakers
Comfirming what?
Oh yeah, that picking thing.
Texas: Where God goes to relax.
Unless he's watching the Cowboys.
Um…yeah. Just double checking.

Doomsday D-picks:
#1-Cowboys
#2-Saints
#3-Colts
#4-Chargers
I went 0-4 last week...
…and the Cowboys continue to do the opposite of what I predict so again I am required to go the other way and take the Vikings.
Saints over the Cards and I don’t think it will even be close
Colts over the Ravens
Chargers over the Jets
The 2009 Dallas Cowboys: Talk to me in December.
The NFC East has won 11 Super Bowls; oddly none of those have come courtesy of the Eagles.
You're bound to get one this week :)
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 11-5!!!

I am curious...
what makes you think that the saints are going to kill the Cards?

I have nothing wrong with the pick...
I just don’t think there is anything that would make me think that the Cardinals are going to get destroyed.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Jan 13, 2010 3:31 PM CST up reply actions
I think the Cards will be worn out from last weeks shoot out...
…and not have the energy to keep up w/ another one.
The 2009 Dallas Cowboys: 1 down 3 to go

To an extant I understand.
I’m picking the Cards to win, BUT I do think that it does take alot of emotional drain out being in a game like that.
I think it’s going to be a good game.
Kurt Warner is playoff beast, and if Dallas ends up playing them, it’ll be a very tough game.

Ok I have made my decison...drumroll please.
Dallas
Arizona
Chargers and my upset speciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiial
Ravens
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Jan 13, 2010 2:38 PM CST reply actions
I wanted to do that...
I just think that one of those AFC teams are going to get upset.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Jan 13, 2010 3:32 PM CST up reply actions
However...
…both of those teams (Chargers & Colts) have been burned before, in the Divsional round, after having had a bye recently.
I think they’ll both have a litte more edge and focus this time around.

DALLAS
new orleans- they cant suck that much. they did win 13 in a row
indy- ballstimore cant stop brady then manning two weeks in a row
ny- i hate san diego
"what do voluntary mean?" - Darren Hambrick
"indy- ballstimore cant stop brady then manning two weeks in a row"
Watch em!
That defense is balls to the wall hardcore. Manning is going to be more frustrated than Tiger Wood’s PR person.
Official Picks
Dallas
New Orleans
San Diego
Ravens
It was a close game in the regular season...
and Indy is really vunerable to the run.

Raves have a pretty good rushing attack
FEAR the STAR.

Because he drives me mad in Madden with his constant movement and shouting ....
plus I’ve seen way too many Peyton commercials in my lifetime (and I live in Europe!)
And don’t get me started on Brady …

I lived in Belgium for 4 years and not 1 Peyton commercial...HAHA
I'm a Eagles fan cause my daddy said so,and he likes losers!!
I can honestly say I've never seen one.
And I dont begrudge him his madden persona.
Maybe I’m just a better person lol.

Pessimists say the cup is half-empty, while optimists say it's half-full. Well, isn't it both? Realist Larry, 2009

Colts
Chargers
Mine are on the standings thread, but here again
All C’s this week:
Cowboys
Cardinals
Colts
Chargers
I am rooting for upsets in both AFC games
But, alas I don’t think they will happen
by Cowboy_Chuck on Jan 14, 2010 2:04 PM CST up reply actions
I'm inline w/ most of y'all
Jets and Ravens are done in by ineffective offense. Minnesotta and NO are done in by their cold performances.
Cowboys
Cardinals
Colts
Chargers
Wasn't in it but I like games
Dallas
Cards
Chargers
Colts

"When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch. In recent years, Budweiser has been the MVP of Super Bowl advertising -- making another company the favorite to win the Ad Meter poll was never an option."
Simon Noble
btw is there a handicap for people who have terrible luck at picking? +2 POINTS?
lol

I am 2 -0 after tonight is over :)

Woohoo!!
Go Cowboys!!!
Oh yeah give the Chargers, Saints and Colts.
Woodson is a Hall of Famer!!!
Gotta go with subby
Dallas
Arizona

The 2007 NYG were 2-2 after Week 4 as well. How'd that year go for them?

Grady, I hope I don't jinx you
but I like the same four teams you do. It would amuse me to no end to see the road teams win in the NFC this week to end this IMO, stupid meme about dome teams having an advantage.
Here’s a factoid none of those meme pimpers have mentioned — ALL the NFC finalists are dome teams. The Cards play in a dome. Dallas plays in a dome. Sure, their roofs can open, but how often has either team played under an open sky this year? I think the roof has been open in Dallas once. Every Cards game I’ve seen has been closed.
