Don't count the Broncos out. I remember last year, there was this team that was 7-9 in the playoffs, and they had to play the defending world champions on Wild Card weekend. They were given no chance. They won 41-36. I'm blanking on the team's name though, can anyone jog my memory?monkeytoes61

True that they have a chance but at least the Seahawks beat the Rams and had some momentum. The Broncos looked atrocious against the Chiefs and they were playing at home and now they face the Steelers.

Anything's possible in a one game situation but I think 9 times out of 10 the Steelers beat the Broncos. Especially now that it seems like the NFL has figured out how to shut down Denver's gimmicky offense.

Saints and Steelers.

Then Falcons.

Then I got the underdog Texans winning.

I realize being a Seahawks fan is tough, but please let it go already.

Arguably, the Seahawks barely had a QB. What they had was a powerful, fast RB going into their prime up against a depleted defense. The Steelers will be playing with a gimpy Rofflesberger and a reserve backfield. The Broncos have a legit shot.

Texans are hungry, and despite what some think about them losing momentum, they still got ALOT of fight left in them!

Watch out Bengals.
