I'm taking the Broncos. There's really no holes on that team. They have improved every single week and they are playing at their best now.

I can get on board with that.

I'd love to see a Broncos vs Falcons Super Bowl. I would truly be conflicted, but on the other hand, I couldn't really lose either way.

I am definitely on the Bronco Bandwagon. It's just too hard for me not to pull for a team that the object of my man crush is playing for.

Broncos! Peyton now has a scary good defense.
But of course, the Patriots await. AFC championship game will be huge if it is the Broncos and Patriots.

The AFC championship game will be the real Superbowl - if it is Denver vs New England. The winner of that game likely wins the SB.

I am going with the Cinderella team: Minnesota Vikings! Would love to see a Peyton vs. Peterson Super Bowl. Not going to happen with the Vikings, so Go Broncos!
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

I'm saying the Patriots win it, but I'll be pulling for the Colts and Broncos

Tough to bet against the Patriots but I really feel like Manning has the team behind him to take down anyone.

And I don't see the Packers beating the 49ers either.

Because Atlanta's playoff history is so stellar? I won't ever pick ATL to win a playoff game again until they actually do it.

I like Washington over Seattle this weekend, and I don't see the 49ers making the Super Bowl — they haven't been playing their best over the past few weeks — but I otherwise agree with most of your picks. I'm certainly hoping for a Broncos-Patriots AFC title game. Never gets old watching Manning and Brady go-head-to-head.

For what it's worth, I'm taking the Patriots over the Packers in the Super Bowl.

I think that Washington is actually going to find it hard to gear up for this game on the heels of the Dallas game for the division title. It's hard for even a veteran team to gear up two weeks in a row like that, and RG3 has never experienced an NFL playoff game before. You could say the same about Wilson at Seattle, but I think he actually has more players around him with playoff experience, which can only help. I picked the 49ers over Atlanta because I can't see Atlanta winning more than one game given their recent track record of one and out playoff appearances.

I actually think RG3 has more veterans around him who have playoff experience — Santana Moss, Pierre Garcon and even some guys on defense like London Fletcher (who was a Super Bowl ring) and DeAngelo Hall. Either way, I don't expect RG3 to be flustered by the playoff environment. The Redskins have been playing really well lately, and their offense is tough to stop.
