NFL Games Today: Who are you rooting for?
So there are two NFL playoff games today.
1. Cardinals vs. Saints
2. Colts vs. Ravens
Former Michigan players currently on the Cardinals are Steve Breaston, Alan Branch, and Gabe Watson.
The Saints have only former C Jonathan Goodwin.
The Colts have Mike Hart and Marlin Jackson.
The Ravens only have Prescott Burgess.
The question is, which teams do you plan on rooting for today?
January 16th, 2010 at 2:52 PM ^
Cards and the Ravens, since I am a Lions fan, I tend to root for the underdogs.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:27 PM ^
Since I'm a Lions fan, I tend to stop watching the NFL after week 4
January 16th, 2010 at 2:55 PM ^
Saints -7; and Colt -6.5.
in the end... I want to see a Saints / Chargers Super Bowl.
No Favre. No America's Team. And a Super Bowl ring for a team that's never had one.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:59 PM ^
IMO, the Ravens will cover against the Colts.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
The fact that I went 0-4 last week suggest strongly that you are right...
January 16th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
Well, unless the Ravens begin scoring points on defense, I was probably wrong about that recommendation.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
On my card I took the Saints -7 at home, the over on 57, Indy -7 at home, and the over on 44 but I agree that the Ravens worry me getting 7. Not a big fan of either of the favorites but they both play good ball at home.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:58 PM ^
I like all 4 underdogs although I'm not putting money on it.
I always root for Breston and I'd like to see Baltimore ruin the Colts season.
I don't like seeing Wells on the same field with Breston. Kinda makes me sick though.
Can Arizona play any defense at all today? The Saints have a whole lot of pressure on them. If they struggle early it could end up being like the Carolina Cards playoff game last yr.
OT - I didn't know Glen Rice Jr played for GT.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:01 PM ^
I love Mike Hart, but I just can't root for the Colts.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
Agreed.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
Rooting interests for the weekend:
Baltimore (I hate Peyton Manning)
Arizona (I love me some Steve Breaston)
San Diego (Despite my David Harris love, I think LT deserves a ring for the career he's had.)
Minnesota (I hate Dallas more than Favre)
January 16th, 2010 at 3:10 PM ^
Viking verse Cowboys is a very very very hard game to decide who deserves to lose more
January 17th, 2010 at 1:28 PM ^
My reasoning is based on the fact that the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl. Yes, the Vikings have Brett Favre, but the Cowboys have Jerry Jones.
But damn, it's close.
Either way, I'll be rooting for the Saints next weekend.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
Marlin Jackson is with the Colts but injured (Torn ACL, i believe)
January 16th, 2010 at 3:27 PM ^
I only listed active roster players. I'll add Marlin anyways though, he is probably my favorite CB(and S) in recent Michigan history.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
Anyone that doesn't have a QB named Peyton !!!!!!!!
January 16th, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
I just saw the blind side last night and was extremely moved by Oher's story. Unless Hart gets some PT, im rooting for the Ravens because it would be cool to add to that wonderful story. And i'm rooting for the Cards because of the UM players. I only watch the NFL because of two things...the Lions, and formers UM players. Thats it.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
I am rooting for the Ravens and Cards today, and San Diego and Minnesota Sunday. Im rooting for the Cards because I love Stevie Breaston, and the Ravens because I am a Ravens fan. I hate the Colts, even though they left town way before my time.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:25 PM ^
I'm taking Saints and Colts. It was disappointing
seeing Charles Woodson at the end of last week's
game. I was pulling for Green Bay.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
I'll be rooting for the Saints. Ever since Katrina I find it hard not to like them. For the other games, I'll cheer for the Ravens, Chargers, and Vikings. For the Super Bowl I would like to see the Saints playing the Chargers.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
welcome to the who dat nation
January 16th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
I'm in New Orleans right now watching the game. Geaux Saints!
January 17th, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
we watched the Saints game Uptown and then went downtown to a "Gentleman's Establishment" for the Colts game.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
I'm in New Orleans right now watching the game. Geaux Saints!
January 16th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
I like the Saints after Katrina also, but Breaston is too big a component of the Cardinals offense for me to root against them.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
Just don't like the Ravens. I have no idea why. Other than that I just want to see the Saints go all the way.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
I could care less between who dat nation nor the fat humps.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^

January 16th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
Colts and Saints.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:40 PM ^
triple posted!
January 16th, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
If I never have to see Ray Lewis doing that ridiculously ugly and stupid pre-game dance of his again I'd be happy. Plus anything with the name Harbaugh in it is to be rooted against too. Also rooting for Cardinals.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:17 PM ^
New York, Baltimore, New Orleans and Dallas.
Bank on it.
I have an uncanny talent of picking the wrong teams, thus if you bet against me, this is your final four. For the past eight years, all the teams I've wanted in the conference championships have lost, and these are my four least-favorite teams.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
My picks are the Saints and Colts.
I like Brees and would like to see something good happen to NO. The city needs something positive. At the same time, you have got to like Warner - think last weekend and a short week took too much out of the Cards.
It is hard to go against Peyton, but if the Raven D can knock him on his butt, could be interesting.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:40 PM ^
so whoever wins I want to end up in the super bowl.
I'm rooting for the colts over the ravens.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:42 PM ^
My loyalties today rest with the Cards +7, Cards Over 57 and Ravens +7. So, here's hoping for some closer than expected games.
Good start so far in the Cards game
January 16th, 2010 at 5:13 PM ^
the saints have so much speed and talent on offense.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
ravens fan and either of the other two teams no care
January 16th, 2010 at 5:47 PM ^
I like the Saints, Ravens, Cowboys and Chargers to win.
January 16th, 2010 at 7:44 PM ^
I was hesitant to say, because nothing went the way I wanted to last weekend. I'm rooting for the Saints, as I don't have anything against them.
As for the rest, there's dislike to hatred.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:22 PM ^
I guess this is the thread to congratulate Mike Hart on his play in the Colts' first touchdown drive.
