Four.. count em FOUR.. INTs on Brady tonight. Teams are going to have a field day when they watch tapes and find out what Miami found out. A 2-11 team doesn't upset a perennial Super Bowl contender without spotting a weakness.

At this point, I think the AFC as a whole is overrated. Everyone talks about how horrid the NFC is, but when you really look at it.. Pats lose to the 2nd worst team in the league. Pittsburgh barely squeaks by the left-for-dead Giants. The Colts choke it up against a team that got back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Denver has tanked. Only San Diego is showing true, consistent power at this point.

In the NFC, the Eagles were exposed as a farce by Washington and now, without TO, they'll probably go to another NFCCG and watch the Super Bowl from home.. again. The Packers have already shown their innate ability to blow games this year. That really only leaves Atlanta, probably the most unconventional team in the league right now which is the only reason they're winning games. No one talks about them having the No. 1 rushing attack in the league (they do.. 170+ ypg average rushing, several games over 200 yds). Teams try to exploit this by crowding the front and Alge Crumpler eats them alive.

Right now I think the most viable option for the Super Bowl is Pittsburgh v. Atlanta. Pittsburg is the only team in the AFC who really shows an ability to stay with it when it gets tight without losing their cool, so I see them beating the now-reeling Patriots. Atlanta is just an opportunistic team and with Todd "Butterfingers" Pinkston now the Eagles number 1, the passing game won't be an issue. Vick is no more overrated than McNabb. Vick just never had a TO out there making him look good. Same for Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss.

Anyway, I'm done. I love football. Won the semi-finals in my fantasy league and my matchups are incredibly favorable for our fantasy league's Super Bowl. $500 will be mine rock:
