I did better last week than the WC round, then again, all the favored home teams won.
No surprises this week either, I think NE and Carolina advance.
Gronk will push off 20 times and get away with it every single time, Brady will whine and mince and pout and throw tantrums to draw laundry, and succeed at that as well, and Manning will do his post interception "hang head and shuffle off the field" schtick 3 times. Denver will keep it somewhat close.
Pats 23
Broncos 20
Carolina, I suspect, is going to win based on the strength of their defensive perimeter, and the shaky, baffling, hit Packers in the hands throws Palmer somehow got away with last week. I think Palmer throws at least 2 picks, in fact, I'm guaranteeing this now, my out on a limb statistically improbable prediction: Manning and Palmer throw exactly three pics each, and both their teams lose by less than a touchdown.
Carolina 17
Arizona 13
