Back when they had their annual NFL Preview Issue they predicted a GB 33-30 win over Denver as their SB Pick. Well they re racked their picks.

They seeded the NFC like this 1)Falcons. 2)49ers. 3)Giants. 4)Bears. 5)Packers. 6)Seahawks


AFC seeds 1)Texans. 2)Denver. 3)NE. 4)steelers. 5)Colts. 6)Ravens

Under each team they give a little blurb.. Under the Gmen it said.. "Eli has won 8 of his last 9 Postseason Starts. Be wary, NFC. Be very wary.

The breakdown was like this...NFC. WC round Giants over Seattle, Bears over Packers

Divisional Round Falcons over Bears, Giants over 49ers


NFCCG Giants over Falcons

[miked1958]

AFC as follows WC round NE over Ravens, Steelers over Colts


Div Round Texans over Steelers, Denver over NE


AFCCG Texans over Denver


they said Denver won't lose another game this season till they lose in CG...

For their Super Bowl pick the wrote the following:

The little write up said. "Whom do you trust late with the game on the line? Two-time SB MVP Eli Manning or Matt Shaub, who has never started in the postseason? Giants 24 Texans 20



Not sure i like them changing their mind and picking us. Liked it better when they picked Rodgers to beat Eli's brother

Never liked these kind of things, but it'd be cool to see them beating Houston for a SB title.

That being said, that road that they present looks pretty difficult.... We're talking beating a good Seattle defensive team (even if we'd playing at home....), 49ers when we beat them in the season, and then Falcons... and wouldn't the Falcons be home? Scary... but we beat this team before, but at home.

based off the seedings we'd have SF and Atlanta on the road. We also play them Away in December

Also they obviously have SF finishing with a better record then us cause we beat em head to head so they can't tie us. Guess they saw our 2nd half schedule huh?

[miked1958]

As far as beating someone we beat in the season. I like it better when they beat us. We've made a living of that in recent past... However we also have done it the other way. We beat NE last season and beat em in SB... But I get what your saying

[miked1958]

Also in 86 we beat SF, Washington twice and Denver in the Regular Season. We beat them all again in the Playoffs and SB




However more times then not we have lost to teams during yr and got revenge in playoffs or SB.. See 1990, 2007 and 2011 (other then NE)

Ah, so atlanta had home... might be difficult but with the way our offense has been rolling, I like our chances. Pass happy Eli is better than pass happy Matt Ryan for sure. It'd be the ultimate wide receiver show down.
