Damn, Jags already have 28 points and it's not even halftime.

Steelers are fighting back and slowly turning the tide. If they beat J-Ville, I think they're a better match for New England just because I think Roethlisberger and co are more prepared to play in a big game against the Pats. Still think NE is going to be in the SB, but Pittsburgh will give them a good fight.

I'm actually picking Pittsburgh only because I can't stand Belichick and Brady. Plus Pittsburgh's really has had one hell of a year.

J-Ville regains control w/ a 4th quarter TD. I picked them to beat Pittsburgh and be humbled in NE, but there's still 9 minutes left and that is definitely enough for Big Ben to score twice.

Why? The GOAT coach and GOAT quarterback maintaining ridiculously consistent excellence in the salary cap and free agency era?

He probably doesn't like them for the same reason why most baseball fans don't like the Yankees.

It's not that. I used to like the Patriots, but both Belichick and Brady are so arrogant. And, yeah, they do cheat, maybe a little more than most.

Arrogant? Are you serious? Rex Ryan is arrogant. Cam Newton is arrogant. Richard Sherman is arrogant. Mike Tomlin is arrogant.

Give me some examples of Brady and/or Belichick being arrogant.

And did you check out that site? There's 15 teams that have had more instances of cheating than the Patriots.

Denver - 53
New York Jets - 50
Indianapolis - 48
Pittsburgh - 44

Jacksonville - 16.8
Pittsburgh - 19.3

You must be a Patriots fan

Actually the Final Score is Jacksonville 45, Pittsburgh 42, but the end result is the same.

So I'm gonna totally nerd out here, but basically, despite the win totals, Jacksonville was easily the superior team to Pittsburgh. They won their games by over 10 ppg while Pittsburgh had only won by around 6 ppg. It was almost certain that with them having won 13 games during the course of the regular season that the Steelers would lose in the postseason, especially to a team like Jacksonville. What's troubling for me is that the Saints have a higher ppg differential than my Vikes do, but they are comparable and it's worth noting that the Vikings have defeated several teams with better ppg differential.
