This may just be the year of the Road 'dogs'. I have never seen teams as determined as the Pittsburg Steelers and Carolina Panthers to win on the road in the playoffs. This is why I am picking the Panthers in an upset over Seattle as Shawn Alexander has a disappointing day against the Panthers underrated defense. Final score will be Carolina 16-13 over the Seahawks. Mark it down. John Fox will go to his second Super Bowl and represent the NFC in Detroit. The Pittsburg Steelers and the Denver Broncos will have much more offense on display. 'Big Ben' against the 'Snake' will prove to be a showdown of epic proportions. The first 'sixth' seed to ever make the Super Bowl will be the Steelmen. Final score Pittsburg 34-30 over the Broncos. Tune in next week to get the Super Bowl XL pick. Detroit- "HERE THE BUS COMES"

Why does everyone get so interested in numbers so quickly. The Detroit Pistons have the best record in the NBA, but all the talk is about getting to 70 wins. Who cares if they win 70. I mean that would be nice, and I am sure the Detroit fans would like it. But will that win you an NBA championship. You still have to play the post-season. They have to atleast beat a good Indiana or Miami team just to make it to the NBA finals where they will meet up with the San Antonio Spurs most likely. A rematch. And another title for San Antonio until something proves otherwise. But that is my point. It is still very early.
