Sports Illustrated's Playoff Predictions

Sports Illustrated just published predictions from nine of their writers on how the playoffs will play out. Here's the link:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/nfl/01/07/expert.picks/index.html

All nine of them pick the Packers to beat the Cardinals, five of them pick the Packers to make it to the Super Bowl, and one of them picks the Packers to win it all.

So I guess this means that the Packers can forget about sneaking up on anyone in the postseason.

ahh holy shit is right - notice most guys pick the chargers also more then the colts for taking it all.

seems like the guys giving momentum a strong hand in who will win. I like it.

I hope that's not a version of the Sports Illustrated cover kiss of death.

Oh, man. Kerry J. Byrne's scenario is just perfect.

Have to agree with most of those scenarios. The Chargers are on fire. I don't know if anyone can beat them if they keep playing the way they've been doing lately.

I'm betting that this thing will be printed and displayed prominently on the wall of the Arizona Cardinals' locker room.

If they need that to get motivated to play, they shouldn't be in the NFL.

I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't feel those types of things have an effect on how a person or team performs.

edit: if they're a professional, anyway

It's hard to tell. Football is a very emotional game, so I think sometimes it does have an effect. But probably more in the regular season than in the postseason. In the playoffs, both teams are usually totally psyched up to begin with--as they should be, with the season on the line.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (7h) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (12h) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (12h) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (12h) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (28-Apr) : T.O. son signs with the 49ers

Mucky Tundra (28-Apr) : damn those vikings

beast (27-Apr) : UDFA Vikings sign TE – Trey Knox, South Carolina

beast (27-Apr) : Kitchen was all high from Miami, he was more lucky than talented in 2022 and it showed in 2023

beast (27-Apr) : Reportedly Packers have UDFAs Jennings and Jones

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : Z, could you please combine my thread with yours please. I obviously did not see it when I Created it

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Re: 'Kool-Aid' McKinstry. Other than Icky Woods, has there ever been a good NFLer with a childish nickname?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Packers looking to trade up

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Flag?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Sag?

Nonstopdrivel (26-Apr) : It rhymes with "bag."

beast (26-Apr) : Family? That's Deadpool's F word

Nonstopdrivel (26-Apr) : Not THAT f-word.
