Raiders finish up vs. The KC Queefs at Narrowhead Stadium. I'm pulling for my NFC team the Mighty Mighty Seahawks - they played a heck of a game Monday Night.

I've never favored Rivers, but he sure is having a nice year - the Bolts are probably (or should be) eyeing a replacement for him within the next two years. And the Ravens are going to flock all over them Saturday like Alfred Hitchcock's birds. I would say the Cheifs are gonna choke in the playoffs as usual too, but young Mahomes is like a Brady/Wilson combo and they've scored 25+ points per game for like two years straight so they'll be hard to stop. I see the Patriots going down early too, and who knows about those upstart Eagles? Foles has sore ribs but he'll find a way to ball out. As for your Colts, they're the ultimate underdogs but they're also the hottest team coming in so I wish them all the Andrew in the world ! As long as the Cowgirls get eliminated creamed shutout demolished by the Seahawks!! That's my team since the Raiders are shitting on 40 years of loyal fanhood.

Man, the Colts controlled the whole game. Houston was unfocused from jump and Luck was in a zone. Mack set the tone with his early runs and closed the door with his late bursts. I'm a believer!

Although I am traditionally an AFC fan, I have to say the NFC has always had the tougher image and more hard-hitting matchups in the playoffs.
Chiefs/Patriots
Saints/Rams
Chiefs/Saints
Chiefs!
I'm terrible at prognosticating though

35 seasons (1984-2018)
18 Playoff appearances, 18 in 35 seasons = over 50%
5 AFC Title Game appearances (1995, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014)
2 SB appearances (2006, 2009)
1 SB Championship (2006)
-Making the Playoffs in Football is much harder than it is in Basketball. Only 6 teams get in per Conference out of 16 so just making the Playoffs is a Good accomplishment. You only have 16 games to right the ship as well, not 82. Indianapolis Colts have made it 18 times in 35 seasons = Good.
Look at some of the players the Indianapolis Colts have had:
QB's = Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck
RB's = Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Edge James
WR's = Marv Harrison, Reggie Wayne, TY Hilton
Defensive players = Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis. Now they have a Rookie that is Ray Lewis like in Darius Leonard. The Colts also now have an OG in Quenton Nelson that plays like Larry Allen, he is mean and nasty. Luck finally has protection! Our GM is fantastic in Ballard and that is where it starts. He nailed the 2018 Draft and hired the perfect Coach in Frank Reich.
-Am I ready for Playoff Football, hell yes I am baby! Go Colts!!
