Cinci is one of those teams I don't want to play. They're young so they are sporadic. I would hate to catch that Cinci Defense on the wrong (wrong for us that is) day. Their corners are physical and good. Leon Hall is one of the most underrated CBs in the league.

A rookie QB in his first playoffs..ill take my chances with that over pitt

I'm surprised at this comment, to be honest.

If we couldn't beat Cincinnati and their defense in Foxborough, then I'm not sure how we could possibly beat defenses like the Steelers and Ravens.

I'll take my chances with a team like Cincy any day of the week, and better yet it'd set up a PIT/BAL matchup, where one would knock the other out.

I've got this gut feeling about the broncos steelers game that tells me the broncos could pull off the upset on the steelers. The steelers have always came across to me as a team that overlooks other teams when they are heavily favored to win against them. A lot of people will be dismissing tebow because of the way he has looked for the last 3 weeks. The main difference I've noticed in him is that he no longer has that swagger that he had when he was on his crazy win streak. When things were looking grim for him in that KC game, his body language didn't seem to be the same as when he believed he could come back from anything.

If it comes down to the 4th quarter and the broncos are within a score of the "elite" steelers, i see tebow getting some of that swagger back, getting the game winning score, and then the steelers self destructing on themselves in disbelief as they realize they may lose to the broncos.

In regards to the bengals texans game, I honestly see the texans winning it. Meaning we get the broncos while the ravens get the texans. The ravens Texans game looks like an actually good match up to me where both teams have quality defenses and less than mediocre QB's. I've actually picked the texans to win that match up, the ravens have lust looked like a sloppy team to me this year, and the texans have been getting a lot of disrespect this entire season.

This leaves an AFCCG of Pats vs texans. We will win and go on to the superbowl where we will be the underdogs having not faced the steelers or ravens to get there, where as the NFC team will have faced either the Packers, Saints, or 49'ers. This sounds like a really weird prediction, but I just feel that the steelers and ravens will come up short this season where everyone is marking them to be the AFC representative.

Good God man, I'll take your prediction!!!

I don't see it happening anywhere close to that, but I'll definitely take it!!

In regards to the PIT/DEN game--I think if DEN can somehow get back to playing their tough defense that got them through "Tebow time" they may have a shot at causing some disruption to a weak PIT offensive line.

As noted, Dumerville and Miller could get in Ben's face, and possibly force some decent pressure and a couple of turnovers.

The crowd will definitely be all over it, and as we all know weird things can happen in that thin air.

It will also be interesting to see if Tomlin allows Ryan Clark to play, as he has a condition that does not usually allow him to go to DEN in the thin air. It's at least worth keeping an eye on, as I haven't heard anything in regards to the situation as of yet.

What worries me though, it how PIT plays the Tebow card. Their defense is playing absolutely lights out. Not only do they shut down the run with a quickness, they also hold the NFL's #1 ranked pass defense, and Ike Taylor has really come into his own this year.

As for the CIN/HOU game--I really see Houston's crowd, city, fanbase, and overall team incredibly pumped up for their first ever playoff game.

I think Cincinnati is going to go into an absolute hornet's nest, to be honest with you.

I know that Houston has looked lousy lately, but they are a different team with Wade Phillips back (they looked at their worst with him gone), and their run game and defense is quite formidable to say the least.

Not only that, but the return of Andre Johnson will make a huge difference to their offense, which can also run the ball pretty well as it is.

I just don't see how an inexperienced rookie QB like Dalton and such an inexperienced team overall can handle the road factor and such a tough defense. I think HOU wins pretty easily.

Everyone will bring up the close 20-19 game from last month, but it will have absolutely no relevance whatsoever on this game, at least in my opinion.

I agree with this.

I see the Steelers and Houston coming out of next weekend.

Expect the Steelers in Foxboro.
