1) No number one seeded team has won the SB since the 2003 Pats.

2008 - Steelers, #2 seed.

2007 - Giants, #5 seed.

2006 - Colts, #3 seed.

2005 - Steelers, #6 seed.

2004 - Pats, #2 seed. (Steelers were #1 seed that year with a record of 15-1).

Now...if you take another look you'll see the SB winner since 2004 has alternated between division champ and wild card team.

2004 - #2 seed, 2005 - #6 wild card, 2006 - division champ, 2007 - wild card, 2008 - division champ.

Conclusion?

Those of you that are Colts and Saints fans, don't go jumping up and down and throwing babies in the air just yet.

If you want to see who's going to win the SB, don't look at the teams that are hottest right now, look at the teams that are leading the middle of the pack or will be contending for a WC spot.

That was great Rayne! I completely agree. With the exception of throwing babies in the air! lol
I am NOT looking for the Colts to go undefeated! Numbers rule the world in most cases! GO COLTS!

Every year there's some team that just looks unstoppable. Think back for a moment to such teams as:

The 2008 Titans

The 2007 Pats

The 2006 Bears

The 2005 Colts

The 2004 Steelers

Yet none of them won the SB. Three lost at home (Steelers, Colts, Titans) and two lost the SB (Bears, Pats).

Right now everyone is high on the Saints - who have never even won a playoff game. Try to wrap your head around that for a sec...people are predicting a team that's never won a playoff game to win the SB.

?!!?

That's not just jumping the gun, that's jumping the gun and the bullet that came out of it.

The Colts looked great....but who wouldn't if you got to play the Jags and Titans twice a year? Some of us have to deal with the Ravens x2 and this year the Bengals are great...so we have to play them x2.

"As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens another man" - Proverbs. Taking that to the next level, so a group of men (a team) sharpens another team.

The more tough teams you play during the regular season the better off you are because it makes you ready come playoff time. (assuming you survive) Who are you going to play that you haven't already played? A lot of teams on your schedule are teams coming at you in the post season.

If I have to pick a SB winner at this point, I'm looking at the teams that are coming out of the AFCN with the WC spot.

Bull, that crack in the door is no accident. Our little lady here likes having pervs look at her. Its a fetish of hers. She once bent over in front of me wearing a mini skirt and no panties. I had to slap the shit out of her and tell her I was married.
