Arizona - because I like them a bit.
Baltimore - because I think they have the type of team that can go into NE and win.
Cincy - because I think they're also more capable of beating NE than Indy.
Detroit - because I'd rather dace AZ or CAR, but if it's Dallas, so be it.
As weird as it sounds I think Carolina has probably the best chance to beat Seattle of any of the teams coming out of the wildcard round. They play a similar style of football...smash mouth running game with a physical defense. Obviously Carolina isn't as good, but Seattle's games against similar teams have been close. It's a long shot, but I would give them a better chance to beat Seattle than Arizona or Detroit. I'm hoping Dallas beats Detroit and Carolina Beara Arizona. I'm not worried about Dallas in Green Bay.
Dallas already beat the seahags on the road.
Why not twice?
The rest, I really don't care.
AFC teams are for entertainment only, so I don't pay any particular attention to them.
The NFC is a bit different, at least this year. It seems there are advantages/disadvantages (real or perceived) to each particular team winning But the truth of the matter is I think Green Bay can beat any teams in this year's playoffs, so it's not terribly important who wins/loses.
I'd rather Seattle get upset by anybody, but don't fear playing them. But that's a story for another week. In the meantime, this should be a fun weekend of football.

I was thinking the same thing with Carolina. In addition to your points, Seattle would also have to deal with Newton running from the pocket. Was never a fan of his but lately he is growing on me, seems to have grown up some. I was impressed with him calling out his fans for cheering when Manziel got injured. Dallas' oline does worry me though.
Because they'd have to beat the Packers first to play Seattle again, and nobody wants that to happen.quote:Dallas already beat the seahags on the road.

I was thinking I would rather see the Pack play Carolina. I am also thinking Baltimore over Pitt and Cincy over Indianapolis.
Folks I really think the Lions have the best talent and chance of the remaining teams in the NFC to beat the Seahags - exception being the Packers of course. I would love to see two games in Lambeau. However, Packers rule and do not fear any teams. So bring them on!
The last time the Packers hosted the Cowboys in a playoff game was 12/31/1967 so if that happened again it would be kind of epic. I would love to see Carolina knock off Seattle and come to Lambeau for the championship game. It could be deja vu all over again.
Stafford vs that Seattle D is a nightmare matchup. He's brutal on the road vs winning teams. Their didn't play particularly well against GB either so I have a hard time buying into them going into Seattle and winning. I have a hard time buying into any team going into Seattle and winning honestly, but other than GB, I think Carolina has the best shot.

Oh duih. Lil' too much booze behind that post methinks.
ARI over CAR
PIT over BAL
IND over CIN
DET over DAL
I agree that Carolina has the best shot at going into Seattle and winning in the next round. Carolina D can be tough, and Newton is cocky enough to think he'll have success and make it so. They will run hard and often with Newton adding that read option and a short/mid few throws, I think they'll give the Seattle D fits. Stafford is just too flaky/streaky/shaky to go up there and win. If the Lions go to Seattle, I think Seattle wins big. If it's Carolina, Seattle wins but it's a close, tough game to the end.
I don't understand how a 7 win team has a better chance than Dallas, who already did it?
Carolina isnt winning ****. They will lose by 30 in Seattle or GB. This was always coming down to GB and Seattle. Thats the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl played In the same game. Winner takes all and Tom Brady knows it.
Seattle is playing better football than they were then. I don't think Dallas is equipped to win a tough defensive battle against a team like Seattle.
You people are going to jinx it.
Next week CAR 48 GB 17.
Dallas can run on Seattle. They can wear down that D better than anyone.
Lets hope they're not given that chance
