<![CDATA[Preferred Winners]]>With the first round over now, here are my preferred choices for victory in the divisional round of playoffs. This isn't necessarily who I predict would win but is who I would prefer to see win:

NFC:

Minnesota over Dallas. Vikings have never won since their 1960 inception. If Cowboys don't win a title for another 100 years, its OK with me.

New Orleans over Arizona. Though the Cardinals are the most forlorn franchise in the NFL and I would want to see them finally break through and win, the Phoenix area had a fairly recent title (2001) when the Diamondbacks won. And the Cardinals haven't been in Arizona that long. New Orleans however has never had a major league professional sports title.

AFC:

Chargers over Jets. San Diego hasn't had a title since the 1963 AFL Chargers won. While it has also been over 40 years since the Jets won a title, the New York area gets more than its share of titles from its other franchises.

Ravens over Colts. Normally I would never choose the Ratbirds, but for two reasons I choose them: 1. Because the Colts/Indy have won more recently than Baltimore, and 2. because I really do want to see the Chargers win the AFC, and having the Ravens beat the Colts means the Chargers could host the AFC championship game with a better chance to go to the Super Bowl.

Preferred Super Bowl match: San Diego vs. New Orleans

New Orleans over Arizona. I think we will see New Orleans in the Super Bowl. Drew Brees deserves it.

AFC:

Colts over Ravens. New England Patriots on the decline the Colts are not.

2-for-2 so far

That pretty much sums it up for me too. I don't like anyone else in the AFC but the Browns, and I'm kind of tolerant of the Cards in the NFC because I like Fitzgerald & Warner.

afc: since browns ain't in it i'll root for the underdog: jets. there's somethin about those ryan boys that says: "don't fuk with me!" rehvis got robbed on that vote by the way.

That said there are a few I kinda like to see do well if the Browns are out.

The Jets since Joe Namath

The Pats since Belichick got the raw deal here.

The Packers, for old times sake.

The Bills since I visited Buffalo.

Then teams I hate a lot:

Shgittsburgh, the Ratbirds, Cokeboys.

Some I hate, but a little less:

Bungles, Eagles, Falcons, Raiders.

Some I just dislike:

Miami, Faguars, Denver...

The rest I'm ambivalent to neutral.

I'd root for Favre had he taken up with a team that wasn't the Vikes.

It's like seeing Petraeus in a turban.

So screw em all.

NEW FLASH FROM MIAMI!!!

Peyton Manning leads late surge as Colts defeat Cowboys 26-24 in Super Bowl XLIV.

Indy won't make it as they pull their regulars in the 3rd quarter vs. San Diego, with a 21-0 lead. They want to make sure no one is hurt before the Superbowl, and lose 24-21.

Then, I'd like to see Braylon drop critical passes en route to a loss that puts the Ravens into the Super Bowl only to lose....to anybody (I prefer the Saints or Cards) not named Favre.

San Diego @ Indy, AFC

preferred Superbowl would be SD vs Arizona, with Cardinals winning

of course the TRUE preferred Superbowl is Browns vs whomever

What do you eat at a Brazilian steakhouse, Iguana?

Probably both. I don't mine the Cokeboys. I love Farve, but not necessarily the Purple People Eaters.

Im rooting for Favre, he is America's favorite son.

Screw the cowboys and being called America's team. They're not mine.

Ditto on the Cowboys. Arrogant a-holes.

Have to root for New Orleans, they've been down forever, though assuming the Vikings can get past the Cowboys (not a given) I see the Vikings in the SB.

In the AFC, thanks Rats for taking the Patriots out (did Brady suck in that game or what? The Browns could have beaten them) now kindly lose to the Colts. Jets won't have the firepower to keep up with the Chargers.

SB I'd like to see: Chargers- Saints.

SB I think we will see: Colts- Vikings.

Minnesota over Dallas - "America's Team" baloney.

New Orleans over Arizona. Arizona? Boring. New Orleans in the super bowl would be fun.

AFC:

Chargers over Jets. Even though I'd like to see Edwards drop a record # of passes, causing the Jets to lose the superbowl...

we'd never hear the end of his bragging that he was the superstar that got them there with his smile.

Colts over Ravens. I guess I'll root for the Colts here, for sure, but I don't want them going to the superbowl either.

Preferred Super Bowl match: Chargers vs. Minnesota I don't need a hundred screen shots of Eli Manning going "yippee yippee!"

in his lodge, and I don't need more coverage of the tragedy of Katrina in New Orleans.

Besides, I just like the matchup, and Favre would be fun to watch in the superbowl again. Well, unless you have your money

on Minnesota...
