It’s the divisional round of the 2007-2008 NFL Playoffs and the Carolina Panthers are no where in sight. This is probably one of the greatest seasons in the history of football and for the most part I’m half indifferent. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be watching a bunch of these games and I’ll enjoy some of the best football this season has to offer, but at the same time, I’m still missing the Panthers. Hm…

Division Round Picks
Green Bay Packers over Seattle Seahawks
I kind of like the Seattle Seahawks as they are a team I wouldn’t mind rooting for down the road. However, this is a team that did indeed lose to the Carolina Panthers at the end of the regular season in a game they really should have legitimately won. Certainly the Panthers were playing much better at that point, but at the same time, the Seahawks were nearly man-handled and shouldn’t have been. Oh, and Green Bay at home. Hmm….
New England Patriots over Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars are the sleeper pick to be able to contend against the New England Patriots according to ESPN, but can you really pick them over an undefeated team? A warm weather team over a cold weather team at home? Yeah… that’s what I thought. Don’t get me wrong though, I’ll be rooting for the Jags the whole way.
Dallas Cowboys over New York Giants
If there’s an upset this weekend, this is it. But I still can’t get my mind in position to pick the Giants. They’re way beyond where they were supposed to be all season. At the same time, the Cowboys seemed to have peaked way too early. At the very least, it shouldn’t be surprising for it to go either way.
Indianapolis Colts over San Diego Chargers
Being an N.C. State student, I have a certain affection for Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers, but I also pull for the Indianapolis Colts in every Indy-New England matchup. In that regard, I really don’t have a team that I can root for in this one, but I don’t see a Norv Turner coached team beating a Tony Dungy coached team at home.
