Broncos were pretty overrated this year. They were really underrated at the start due to a tough schedule, but they may have had the easiest schedule in the league from week 6 on. They really didn't beat any contending teams all year. I still thought they would beat the Ravens, but I don't think they would have beaten either the Pats or Texans.

I am still in shock that Fox took a knee with 30 seconds left. It's not like the Broncos were buried on their own goal-line, they were at the 20. Prater has the leg to be able to make one from 60. To not try to advance the ball 40 yards downfield with two timeouts and Peyton Manning throwing the ball is just mind-boggling.

That win by the 49ers was one of the most dominating performances I've seen in along time. I've been saying it since he came into the league, but go to Crabtree as much as possible. His talent and instincts as a receiver are elite, and he should be utilized accordingly. He's as sure-handed and clutch of a receiver as you can find. It's nice to see that Kaepernick found that out.

Capers should be embarrassed. Kaepernick absolutely destroyed them on the ground with remarkable consistency. I don't know how you don't devise something to at least somewhat keep him in check. It's not like it's the first time he's had to prepare for a QB that can burn teams with his running ability.

I'm really looking forward to today's games. The Falcons receivers vs. the Seahawks corners could turn out to be a pretty epic battle. The Falcons defense really hasn't gotten enough credit this year, but I still like the Seahawks due to their more balanced offense. Seahawks are better equipped to contain the Falcons passing attack than maybe any team in the league. If the Falcons have to rely on Turner to get things moving on offense, they're in trouble.

I like the Pats today, but I think Houston surprises a lot of people. They've looked lost for weeks, but I just have a gut feeling that it'll be different today (based on no reason in particular). The Pats have been strong against the run this year so it'll be interesting to see if Foster can keep up his great playoff numbers.
