Cool seeing the Rams in there. Even if it's a 1st round loss, I'd be very happy with the playoff berth.

 

[Rabid Ram]

wow 3 of the nfc west in the playoffs

 

[bluecoconuts]

Giants are only good in the playoffs on the road, Rams win it late. Obviously Seattle can't win on the road, Matt Ryan beats them for the second year in a row.

Rams are better in the division, they take SF round two. Ryan has trouble playing in the snow, starts throwing interceptions. Packers win.

Rams on a roll, Packers go into the game cocky again. Greg Zuerlein wins it with a 65 yard FG as time expires in the snow and wind. Somewhere Janikowski sits quietly in the dark as a single tear rolls down his cheek. He knows his time at the top is done.

The eldest Manning has a habit of choking in the playoffs, Jenkins has a big game, Bradford has a bigger one.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Super Bowl XLVIII Champions the St. Louis Rams!

Obviously that was generated by a computer built around an Intel processor. AMD would have had us winning the SB.

Interesting.
But, just like any other program or simulation, what you get out depends upon what you put in. Meaning, it's important how it's programed to extrapolate data.

Lol.

Nerd. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Also, SF is NOT going to the SB. Just not happening this year. And NE is NOT going deep into the playoffs. They might make it but if so ONE AND DONE!!!
