Actually, may I be so bold as to recommend a slight change in the poll?

How about "If you had to pick ONE upset - which team do you think it will be?"

In the last 17 years (current playoff format), the AFC's No. 1 and 2 seeds are 23-11 at home in the divisional round, while the NFC's top two seeds are a whopping 30-4 when they have earned a first-round bye and opened at home. What favorite loses this weekend?

Forgive my ignorance, but when haven't the 1 and 2 seeds opened at home?
 
The Chargers have matched up well with the Colts lately (won the last two meetings and lost the one before that in overtime). But with Antonio Gates unlikely to play I just don't know.

 
I think both the Patriots and Cowboys will lose this week.

I like Seattle to upset GB this weekend. I think their pass rush is going to be a little be too much for the Pack, and they force favre into making some bad decisions.

I think the Giants are finished, the Colts should mop up against SD, and the Patriots will roll over Jax.

 
Stat of the Week No. 7: A January game in Green Bay approaches; over the past four seasons, the Packers are 7-9 at Lambeau Field when kickoff temperature is below 40 degrees.

For a time they would rotate the location of the Conference championship games (the '72 Dolphins had to play at Pittsburgh, for example), but I'm not sure if they ever did that for Divisional games.
 
The poll should be rephrased. It should be, "Pick one of these options as if your life depended on getting the right answer." Otherwise you're just getting people saying who they hope will lose, not who they really think will lose.

 
All four favorites win. I think that folks are selecting who they hope can win and going on past results where at least one road team per year wins. The four home teams have been the top four teams for most of the year and they all win at home this weekend.

But 3-1 in the past 2 years under McCarthyWeather will not be a factor this week in GB.
 
IMHO Cowboys are the only vulnerable team, and that's only because of recent injuries to Romo and T.O.

I still voted for "Only Underdogs lose."

:goodposting: While I'm sure everyone who voted appreciates the fact that you have just in effect called them all liars, I don't agree (nor did I vote that way). I WANT the Patriots to lose, but I think the Cowboys will lose - and that is how I voted. I'm not sure why you would assume everyone would vote differently then the poll asked them to.
 
Chargers lose.

Jags lose

Seahawks lose

Giants lose.

Before this season no one had 50 TD.

Before this season no one had 23 receiving TD.

Before this season no one went 16-0.

The four best teams will win this weekend.

 
I see a lot of talk about 'pressuring' Favre into bad decision. Yes, Seattle brings a solid pass rush. But it isn't pass rush that leads to Favrian decisions. It's simple. If Green Bay gets behind, I'll say by ten plus in the third quarter, then Favre will throw some up for grabs.

When Green Bay has the lead, Favre plays within the offense.

So the question is, do you think Seattle will lead by 10 or more late in the game? I'd say it's unlikely.

 
I see the Cowboys losing and the entire city of Dallas blaming Jessica even though she won't be there. (Romo wasn't his usual happy-go-lucky self with the media this week, so I think he'll be pressing, which will lead to mistakes.)

Other than that, the favorites win.
