holystove Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 american football postseason : AFC : indy - SD , Baltimore - Miami byes : tennessee, pittsburgh NFC : atl - arizona , philly - minnesota byes : giants, carolina my bets would be indy to win AFC and philly to make in the NFC indy to win the superbowl. (wouldn't like it if they won but can't see anyone stopping them). btw completely rediculous that teams like san diego and arizona are in the postseason while a perfectly capable 11-5 pats team are out. arizona and san diego will both get destroyed in the first round.

I think you underestimate the importance of home field mate. Due to their salary cap, the top 20 teams are a lot closer in terms of talent.

zequist Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Actually, my inner Nostradamus hasn't been doing any better, although half of my original prediction (Pittsburgh-Carolina) is also still on track. The betting lines are now favoring Pittsburgh and Philly, and that's who I'd probably pick too, but let's just say at this point that nothing would surprise me anymore. If I were to equate this to a four-team Premier League title chase with two weeks left, it would be sort of like one of the Big Four (in this case Pittsburgh) trying to fend off Newcastle (Philly, the perennial contenders who never win anything), Allardyce's Bolton (Baltimore, the team opponents hate to play because they're so physical and casual fans hate to watch because they don't play "attractive" football), and Sunderland (Arizona, the long-disrespected team who won a few titles 60 or 80 or 100 years ago and haven't even come close since).

I heard Mike Lombardi on the B.S. Report compare the remaining teams to Sopranos characters : Pittsburgh - Tony. Philadelphia - Big Pussy, two faced, don't really know who they are. Baltimore - Paulie. Arizona - Johnny Sack, very deceptive, don't know where they're coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh currently favored by 6.5 ... which way do you think the line is going to go? I'd say it's bound to go down (before I saw it, I'd have guessed it would have been somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsburgh -4). Arizona played awesome against Philly and Philly defense isn't much worse than Steelers'. I think Warner is gonna pull it off. Besides he promised his daughter a puppy and there's no stopping a man who has got a puppy promised to his kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 There's two ways to look at it. 1) Arizona is on a roll, they have all the momentum, they're a healthier team right now, and they're extra-motivated because no one thinks they can pull this off. 2) When it comes to Super Bowls where one team is clearly much better than the other, the clearly better team almost always wins (and usually wins convincingly), regardless of whatever "momentum" or confidence the other team may have coming in. See Super Bowls XX (Bears-Patriots), XXIV (49ers-Broncos), XXVII (Cowboys-Bills), XXIX (49ers-Chargers), and XXXV (Ravens-Giants) for examples. In this case, I have to go with the latter perspective. This is another one of those Super Bowls, like all of the ones I just mentioned, where it just "feels" like the winner is already a foregone conclusion. And for the record, last year's Super Bowl did NOT have that same "feel" to me, in spite of New England's perfect record. My prediction, however, is not a blowout, but rather a Super Bowl akin to the Rams-Steelers Super Bowl of 1980, which was the only previous time a 9-7 team made the Super Bowl. Almost everyone expected Pittsburgh to win, and they did, but they were clearly not the juggernaut they had been a few years earlier and the Rams were able to exploit their weaknesses to stay in the game for about three quarters before Pittsburgh's depth and experience finally prevailed. And the difference between playing against Philly and playing against Pittsburgh isn't that one defense is much better than the other. It's that Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger are far less prone to shooting themselves in the foot than Reid and McNabb (who, for all their success together, once again demonstrated their mutual knacks for questionable decision-making and all-around abysmal clock management yesterday). Prediction: Pittsburgh 30, Arizona 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holystove Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 "Tucson, Arizona was probably not the best place to watch the game last night. Partly because of the disappointing result, but mostly because of the huge, flapping penis. With under three minutes left and just after Larry Fitzgerald's heroic comeback(ish) touchdown for the Cardinals, the video feed abruptly switched to a scene from stablemate channel Club Jenna, treating viewers to the sight of seemingly omnipresent porn guy Evan Stone swinging his junk around like a maniac. This interlude lasted about 30 seconds. Comcast told the Arizona Daily Star that engineers have been "working throughout the night" to figure out what happened, but haven't yet come up with an explanation. It could have been a simple case of human error, but given just how wrong it all went, I'd put my money on a disgruntled outgoing employee." http://i.gizmodo.com/5144199/comcast-tusco...super-bowl-nsfw .
