For some reason, as good as New England have been, I can't see them making it to the Super Bowl. I believe they'll have one of their bad games and it will come back to bite them.
We know there's an unexpected Super Bowl team every year. This year I don't think it will be San Diego. I think they're going to be one of the 'step too far' teams. I just hope they're comprehensively beaten and not knocked out by a blown call.
Seattle, I believe, will be the disappointment. They've been hyped since the end of last season and it's almost as if everyone expects them to get there. Typically, when that happens, the team doesn't make it. I think the hype is so much that someone will beat them before the Super Bowl at some point.
My pick is Carolina to sneak through to the Super Bowl for the NFC. On the AFC side, I believe Denver will get there.
