The favorite pick on espn.com, and the one I voted for, is Indy vs. NO. I think they have similar offensive power and it would come down to which D stepped up.

But NE is still NE and can never be counted out. It was interesting to read Brady's comments in an article this morning. Something the NE coaches noticed about SD is that they don't like to play a nickel defense, they don't like to bring in a 3rd corner back. So NE started playing lots of 3 WR sets in the 4th quarter. That led to lots of favorable matchups for NE.

>>Most, if not all, gave the SB to the AFC champ. Noone from the NFC could beat Balt or SD. Today, I could easily put NO up against either Indy or NE.
