So...now that we're past week 13...
Who are YOU picking for the Super Bowl, since it looks doubtful any the usual suspects will be there (certainly not Green Bay or Philly and likely not Pitt or the Pats)?

1. From the NFC? Its a crapshoot right now....
All the top contenders can beat one another. The bye week and HF is going to play a part especially if the Bears get it.

2. It's interesting...
It seems like any given Sunday the top teams could easily win or lose, as you said. It will be interesting to see how it plays out, and how the Colts' season plays out...

3. What's your stand on the Colts?
Go for history or rest 'em?

7. I say go for it...
When else would you have the chance to get this far? The players, coaches, and management would probably always wonder what if otherwise...

9. You have to go for it
Again, I'll throw out the staggering number: the '72 Dolphins are the only NFL/AFL team since 1920 to go unbeaten and untied among 1712 chances in that regard. If the Colts finish 19-0, it will be 2 of 1744.

Several teams have finished with 1 loss. That is admirable but doomed to obscurity. Unbeaten guarantees immortality, plus the Colts will be deemed superior to the '72 Dolphins virtually by acclimation, doing it in a salary cap era plus with two additional games. As a Dolphin fan I understand that inevitability, although the Colts would be hard pressed to do it with a backup QB starting 11 games, and the Dolphins managed to repeat in '73 for a two-year run of 32-2, far superior to any back-to-back champs. The posters who diminish that team don't know much about football. It's that simple.

11. go for it
there have been 40 superbowls (well, after this one) but only one perfect record. Quick, who won Superbowl XX!V? exactly. go for immortality. plus, I have Edge on my fantasy team, and I need the points, especially after Westbrook went down.

12. I believe the seahawks are better than the Panthers.
Hassellback not throwing too many interceptions. Delhomme always good for atleast 2 a game. Hawks have a much better running game!
