I'm a Saints / LSU fan, but I like seeing the other SEC teams win because it shows the strength of our conference and the teams we play all year. I was really surprised Arkansas got beat by Ohio St, and SC lost as well.

I have Auburn tonight too. Yes, the SEC rules, my friend and I like LSU as well.. I'm a Houston Texans fan (don't laugh) since I live near that city. I absolutely love the Green Bay Packers and was glad they beat Philly last night. What happened to the Saints on Saturday? I thought for sure they would win!!
I feel like I'm the only person in the world that didn't think the Saints would win that game, and I'm a die-hard fan.
The fact is, the Saints have been struggling all year in a lot of areas, and now that they won a Superbowl, they went from being the most underrated team in the NFL to an overrated team.
The reality is they have just been a little better than mediocre this year, and its reflected by their record. The Seahawks however are probably a little better than their record shows.
Throw in all of the injuries the Saints have (no running game and a few of the most productive members of the team all year being out), and give Seattle something to prove - that game was pretty predictable if you ask me. The parity of this league is such that there is not much difference between a 7-9 team and a 10-5 team.
The last ATL game was the only thing that threw me off this year with the Saints - it was a must win game, and they played like they had the superbowl swagger back BUT it was one of the few games they had like that this season. The Steelers game I think was the only other one they really showed up to play for.
Brees has been playing beneath his ability all year, as have many of the receivers (Henderson and Colston) and Reggie Bush.
I did get excited after the last ATL game, and I thought we had a chance, but I think somewhere along the line I came back to earth and realized this wasn't going to be our year again.
Fact is - the Vegas oddsmakers had that one way wrong.
I'm a Jets fan but fully expecting them to screw up. I think Jets fans have to accept this possibility or spend their fanhood constantly disappointed. I will do cartwheels followed by back handsprings if they win the Super Bowl. heh

I would LOVE to see you guys beat the Pats - and then the Steelers could beat your Jets!
The Steelers just match up very poorly with the Patriots. Our secondary can't cover those little short / quick routes New England runs. Would help if Brady actually threw a bad pass every once in a while too.
Definitely AUBURN! I never miss watching a game. I'm so loyal I even have a horse named War Eagle. Not much on Pro Football though. I may have to begin watching since Cam Newton is going pro.
OK, 'Da Bears won, and New England lost (Hmmm... both teams with the best records eliminated? Too weird!). It woulda been something, the same teams in the Superbowl, 25 years later.
Football fans?
