I may be 4-4 in my picks so far. Bleh
For what its worth. Indy is going to stomp the jets into oblivion. Looking for a big day from Dallas Clark because Revis *will* take away Reggie. Jets are going to have to run the ball because their QB shouldnt even be playing professionally. 100 yards passing isnt going to beat the Colts, nor is Thomas Jones against the Indy Front 7.
Vikes/Saints is a little harder to call, but with the saints suspect secondary, providing the Vikings O-Line can stop the 3-4-5 man rushes, Brett and Rice/Harvin are just going to run up the score, if not, then i'm looking at Shiancoe to have a *huge* day. The only somewhat suspect part about this for me is that Brett seems more and more focused on throwing the ball, instead of handing it off to, one of - if not the, best RB playing today. If the Saints get up early, then the Vikings are going to be in trouble because Brett will continue to pass and AP sits in pass blocking.
Saints on the other hand are looking okay, but i just dont think that Bushrod can hold off Jared Allen long enough to allow Coulston and Meachem to get down the field and shake the coverage. I think the rest of the Vikings front four should stop the run pretty well, I really can't see Reggie Bush having another big day. Another big thing is Hartley's tendancies to miss inside 50 yards. That will be a big problem against the staunch Vikings D
tl;dr

Well lets talk about the NFC first.
Short and sweet version, Vikings... Longer version, Saints lack what the vikings have. A dominant defense. They match up well on the offensive side of the ball, but the Vikings have a defense that can and will stop the Saints. Look back at last weeks games. The Cowboys are a far superior team in comparison to the Cardinals, look how each of the games turned out. Dallas was completely shutdown, Arizona actually put some points on the board. Now Imagine if the games were reversed, do you believe that the Cards would have put any points up against the Vikings?
AFC
The jets look to make a fight of this but I doubt they will stop Peyton. Everybody needs to stop looking back at the regular season saying that the Jets already beat them once. The colts weren't even trying then. This time it matters and they wont just lay down. Offensively the Jets are in a bad way with a rookie QB in Mark Sanchez, Sanchez looks to be a really good QB in the future. He's not now... NY has all the pieces in place to bring a title home, just not this season.
In short.
NFC
Saints 10
Vikings 17
AFC
Colts 27
Jets 10

Vikings, colts superbowl.
For the NFC i want the Saints winning for once. The Vikes had many of their key players missing practice, but Favre is on fire. For the AFC i don't know if Colts are going to win, because Peyton is 4-4 in the playoffs. If the Jets have any chance of winning they have to keep running the ball and get to Peyton Manning.
