I think his backup is a better RB.

So, I assume we're all on the same page of Pittsburgh going into Denver and winning handily. Tebow Time is most likely finished for this year (and maybe forever).
Houston/Cinncinatti...do we get Andy Dalton in Foxboro? I haven't watched much of the Bengals this year, can we beat them?

I'm very anxious to get this going! I remember last year I was really confident we were coming out of the AFC since we were on a roll. This year not so confident but very anxious.
pitt is a horrible road team this season
it is the playoffs but this looks like a good draw for denver

In the Pitt/Denver game, it should be a low scoring affair and I expect Pitt to eek out a win similar to how they did earlier today. However, it is possible that Denver rekindles that "magic" during their 6-game win steak. Granted, they will have to have some breaks fall their way, but Pitt has not played great on the road as others here have pointed out, and they have key players banged up and/or injured who will either be held out or operating at less than full strength next weekend.
Cincy is a solid team from what I saw today. They gave Baltimore all they could handle and had a shot at the end. And like Cincy, the Texans can run the ball and play effective defense. Both teams are pretty evenly matched, but the Bengals have the advantage at QB, which could prove the deciding factor in the matchup.
I know some here consider Cincy the easy draw, but IMO there is no easy draw in a league where on any given Sunday, any team can go down. As we know, of course, this phenomenon is heightened in the postseason, where a team wins or go home till next preseason if they fail to execute better than their opponent.
Well of course there are easy draws, otherwise you would consider playing Cincy and Denver the same as Pitt and Baltimore.
But if the point you are trying to make is that no upset would be unthinkable, then yes.
I never wrote that all potential opponents are equally easy draws, merely that each playoff team is dangerous on any given Sunday. Be that as it may, I would feel a bit more confident if New England's opponent on the 14th is Cincy and less if it were Pitt.
The problem is the worst offense in the NFL facing the best defense.
I want the Pats to play Pittsburgh and then Baltimore. I'd love to see the Pats stay sharp by playing two very good defenses so they don't soften up when they get to the Super Bowl. Beat the best and you are the best I say. If they can't beat them at home than they don't deserve to go to the big game. Plain and simple.
I would almost compare that scenario match up to 03 when the Pats where able to face and beat the co mvps in back to back games. Very memorable and satisfying.
