I guess the Chargers could still manage a first round bye, if they win out and the Patriots lose the next two, but I don't think they can get home-field throughout. I think I have to go buy an AFC West champions shirt now.

Crazy, old-school, battle of the network stars-type shirt.

Done and done - it's on its way.

I can't believe you didn't use this one - it has lightning!

As for the Chargers, they are seeded third right now. To do any better, they have to pass NE. The way it is set up, they'd have a home game vs. Jax, with Indy hosting the Jets.

And now they are seeded fourth, in line to host the Jets. Damn Colts!

Actually, I thought they played well against them, other than some special teams problems and secondary issues. Still to lose by three in overtime on the road is not too bad.

OK, here come the playoffs.

I still have faith that the Iggles will reach the Super Bowl.  The team I most feared, Carolina, has been left out.  Maybe on a good day Atlanta or Green Bay could beat the TO-less Eagles in Philly, but seriously, they should handle it.  The Rams, Vikings and Seahawks are all total jokes.

The AFC should be much more entertaining, though it'll probably still come down to Patriots at Steelers.  This time I think the Pats will prevail, but who the hell knows.

I don't really ever make predictions, but:

Bolts 31-10 over Jets (Jets backed in)
Colts 38-3 over Broncos (Jake throws 5 picks)

Bolts 10-7 over Stillers (LT can't get going against stiff run D but Gates gets a TD and Kaeding wins it)
Indy 23-21 over Patriots (I like your call!)

Bolts 34-31 over Colts (rematch, and this time the Chargers are tight)

Bolts 24-21 over Eagles (Whoops, TO isn't back yet)

It's madness, I tell you. This is my year, though, because I finally won in fantasy football.

Nabu, I hope you are right.  I think I've decided to hitch my wagon to the Chargers so that I can point and laugh at Eli after they win the Super Bowl.  

Still hoping Green Bay can put a pounding on Minnesota again, though.  That's about all I'm hoping for them in the playoffs, though.

Edit:  Corrected that sentence.

I'm upset with Eli now. Did he have to win that game? Our first-round pick from the Gnats dropped like six places because of that.

I thought a wildcard team had never gone to the show before, are you saying that will change this year?

One thing that makes football playoff prediction less fun is that the results of the wild card weekend affect who plays where in the divisional round.  In your bracket you have Green Bay playing Philly in the second round.  When they beat Minnesota, they will play the Falcons, not Philly.  

That said, where did you create that wonderful bracket with your predictions?

Oh no you didn't just say that.

The Chargers aren't a wild card team. Denver and the Jets are wild card teams. We  are, however, playing in what is called the wild card game. That having been said, off the top of my head I can tell you that after the 1980 season, Oakland, as a wild card team, won the Super Bowl (more's the pity).

I didn't make it. I saw it, and that the Bolts won it all in it, and I linked it. (I probably should not have done that. If necessary, it can be removed in the interests of good etiquette, though I suspect it's getting 99% of its hits from elsewhere). Anyway, that's why I didn't look very closely at the NFC side. And you are exactly correct in your reading of that, G.

Those crazy Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl (aka Festivus Maximus) as a wild card as well.
