The playoffs of the '16-'17 are locked in. 12 teams remain, and one of them will become the Super Bowl LI Champions.
As for the G-Men, we have made it for the first time since we won the whole thing in 2011. The Wild Card game against Green Bay is huge. The Giants have never lost a Conference Championship game. If we don’t lose right away, we have a very good chance to go all the way. Then we just need New England to win the AFC. Maybe the NFL can get 2017 started right.
Yes, the Falcons definitely look the strongest, buuuut I can’t trust them. They’re like the Chargers. They got regular season goods, but never have post-season goods. Choke city. The opposite of the G-Men.
Honestly, I’ve always had deep respect for the Steelers. They are a rough team but their rivals are always looking so much scummier. Raiders back in the day? Ravens with the murderer tackling people? Steelers always had a reputation for aggressively cutting anyone who was a scumbag, even if it hurt their team. (I’ll admit that that reputation took a big hit with the Roethlisburger date rape stuff, unfortunately). One thing I’d point to as them being an organization with good head on its shoulders is how few head coaches they’ve ever had.
Yeah my only real issue with the Steelers (other than my Bengals fandom) is the fact that Ben heads up the team. Once he moves on, I don’t expect I’ll have any issue with them other than the standard inter-divisional rivalry stuff.

[/quote]It’s true that Big Ben has some issues off the field, but the Steelers are a serious, old, and very respectable organization. They’re not my first choice, but I’m perfectly fine with them winning yet again.
