Falcons v Cardinals and Colts v Chargers today.
I like all of these teams for different reasons. Have to love Matt Ryan's story in Atlanta. To lead the Falcons to the playoffs as a rookie the year after 'uber-quarterback' Mike Vick is hauled off to prison is priceless, from an anti-caste perspective.
The resurgence of Kurt Warner is another good story, and he was rightfully considered a Comeback Player of the Year candidate.
We all know the Peyton Manning story and how long it took him to get respect from the media. Add to the mix Dallas Clark and Anthony Gonzalez, you gotta like the Colts. But then consider Philip Rivers, one of the best QB in the league but gets even less respect than Manning did before his Super Bowl run. We're just an injury away from seeing more of Hester, too.
These are all tough games for me to pick, both in terms of who I think will win and who I want to win.
I'm calling Falcons over Cardinals, I like Ryan's story and think they're the better team, too.
I'll take Peyton over Rivers this time, I'd like to see 301's Super Bowl pick become a reality - Peyton v Eli.
