The 12 votes for Steelers, well, whoops...

I was 1/3 to pick the Colts.
Wow, this weekend you've got the one's and two's unleashed. I would imagine Seattle would be a big pick.

Huge game Sunday when the Cowboys play in Green Bay, but let's not forget that football isn't just a 4 to 5 month per year activity....

Kudos to Aaron Rodgers (video below) and all other NFL players who contribute to their community in a positive fashion throughout the year....

There really good on the road though

[MaCruz]

I'd vote none, all teams hold serve this weekend.

Rooting for Denver on the AFC side, and GB for NFC.

[walruswarrior]

I'm going Ravens. They have a good history of beating the Pats in the playoffs. Forsett will be the key in defeating them.

These should all be good matchups and I expect at least one road team to win, and I won't be surprised if more than that win. Even Carolina and Seattle could be a good game with Carolina playing much better in the last month (albeit against fairly pedestrian opponents).

Everyone in the industry knows Nielsen ratings are far from accurate. The only reason businesses place faith in Nielsen's numbers, is because there is no other ratings game in town. That's it.
Now I'm not saying Dallas doesn't pull large crowds, because they do...but it's certainly not because of the huge fanbase...that honor would go to Pittsburgh and their legion of fan all over the country. Plus a good portion of "Dallas viewers" are watching to see the team implode...which is exactly why Dallas has pulled such good rating over the last 19 years, as they've done a lot of imploding.

Yea there is in fact cnbc is actually dropping nielsen & going with cogent ratings instead cause they feel it will help their out of home viewing #s.

Im not saying only cowboys fans watch the games more are watching for them to lose but thats point they are still watching.

Its like how the player that gets the biggest boos at the visiting stadium is usually the best player on the visiting team.

[Moviefan1203]

I don't think any will lose, but I give the Colts the best chance.

The Redskins are close to a deal to hire Scot McCloughan as their new GM. McCloughan was the 49ers GM from 2008-2012 and an executive with the Seahawks from 2010-2014. He ended up losing the 49ers job and leaving the Seahawks due to an alcohol addiction. He was considered one of the top personnel men in the league before he left though and played a big part in building two teams that made the Super Bowl. The link below has an ESPN story from last month about his battles with alcohol.

I heard this on the "Redskins Radio" a few hours ago. Very interesting, considering McCloughan just started up his own talent evaluating company, basically working out of his home on the West Coast. Ole Danny boy must be throwing a lot of money at him to entice him to move to the East Coast.
I read that story in The Mag over Christmas and was kind of hoping he would lend his services to Philly. Sounds like he wants total control, which is why Oakland turned him down..and that was never going to happen in Philly.
