Official NFL Playoff Prediction Thread [Archive]

Okay, since we had a pick-em kinda thing for the regular season, let's have one for the playoffs. Make your playoff predictions here and I'll have a point system set up for each round. For each first round game you predict correctly, you'll get 2 points, 4 points for divisional round, 8 points for Championship game, and 16 points for correctly choosing the Super Bowl Champion. Just make your predictions and that's it, no chatting cause it'll clog this thread up, we can have another thread for playoff chatting. Anyone can do this, just make your picks before Saturday's Wild Card games, because this will locked on Saturday morning. And whoever wins, I'll send them something. So have fun. Here are the playoff matchups (conference rank in parenthesis)
EDIT: PUT SCORE IN SUPER BOWL FOR TIEBREAKER

Yeah, me too. Though I am gonna hear the "Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl..." song at least 100 times in the next Month. It gets old fast.

I just think Indy is stumbling their way in, they could be upset.

Yeah, I already heard it a few times today. and everyone was saying it at the game today. And some drunk guys were saying "Fuck the bengals, fuck the colts, fuck the colts," etc and saying we were going to win the super bowl. It's already pretty annoying.
