Default Re: NFL Playoff Predictions thread

So I'm changing my SB pick to NE over Chicago.
Niss' point about Rivers got me thinking - SD reminds me alot of Pittsburgh two years ago: Rothlisburger started hot, faded towards the end, and that carried over into the playoffs where they were lucky to beat the Jets and then got pounded by NE. They're also similar defensively in that they were/are impossible to run on, but probably overrated vs. the pass.
Of course it's debatable if NE has the receiving weapons to exploit this, but since every team has weaknesses I'd rather it be there than QB.
