Whoops. Looks like I goofed and forgot to forecast round 2. Oh well, here's my round 3 predictions.
The Vikings and Saints offer quite an intriguing matchup with their high-powered offenses. Will Brees finally get into the Super Bowl? The Saints have been playing very well, and yes, Brees has had a very good year, not to mention the fact that they're playing at home. But when I really thought this one over, I also noted that the Vikings have an equally talented and much more experienced quarterback, as well as a considerably stronger defense. Vikings 31, Saints 20.
Now for the Colts and Jets. The Jets head into the game following upsets of Cincinatti and San Diego, and finished the season with the fewest points allowed. They also beat the Colts in week 16. But I found that this was a classic case of "Things That Make You Go 'Hmm'". Like the fact that the Colts' backups were the ones playing during that game. Hmm. Or that Peyton Manning was recently named MVP. Hmm. Or how about the fact that Mark Sanchez's statistics for the season were very comparable, believe it or not, to those of Matthew Stafford. Hmm! Colts 20, Jets 13.
