Since my beloved Dolphins turned back into a pumpkin, I’m saying it’s the two best teams all year — the Giants and Titans. I’ll go with the Giants to repeat, though logic dictates that it’s nearly impossible to repeat. (Plus, the Eagles are scary this weekend)

It’s amazing how much more credible Lil Wayne — whose music I don’t check for — seems than Skip Bayless on this show. Wayne even looks pretty damn respectable, no Styrofoam cup to be found. Of course, my opinion of him went through the roof when he was in that LeBron Nike ad.

I’m a Giants fan, so I’m taking my team. I see us getting it done against the Eagles and the Panthers. From the AFC, I like Pitt but didn’t they lose badly to the Titans, or am I wrong?

Kids from New Orleans in the 90′s couldn’t really get behind the Saints. Playing football in the street, we used to taunt the other team by telling them that’s who they were. I’m a little surprised Lil’ Wayne hasn’t converted but some people just like to root for a winner. I’m sure if the Saints were in the playoffs, he’d be their #1 fan.

@sicksteanein:

No dice. Denver's proven to be plug-and-play with RBs for the past ten years. Lawrence Phillips could've rushed for 1500 yds/season at Mile High. With time off for suspensions.

@Ted Striker: I like that idea. Can Denver have a 3 game guarantee though?

They really should start giving teams a 3 year/4,500 yard warranty on "cornerstone" backs. Because the wheels fall of like a Yugo after that point in most cases.

I think the Chargers are going to be skeptical about jettisoning either back after season’s end, not after seeing Michael Turner have such a good year.

@sicksteanein: Sproles could be one of those "holy crap!" epiphanies until everyone starts game-planning for him. That's my suspicion.

Sorry that should be Fred Taylor.

@goldsounds: Ya, he's been banged up all season and they kept giving him carries. I haven't followed it too closely so I was wondering if they're just hoping for some of the old magic to return (and it did in Week 17) or if they just don't trust Sproles to be an every down back?

Even healthy next season, should LT be the no.1 guy? Look what happened in Jacksonville this year. Jackson was meh and then injured and MJD stepped up. It's a similar situation in San Diego except that the Chargers actually have a passing game.

@michaelpop: Ironically, this comments section has more sports discussion than every comment on Deadspin, ever.

Whoa, Idolspin! As a Steelers fan, they’re obviously my pick for the Super Bowl. From the NFC, I’m taking the Giants. But man, I really freaking hate the Chargers, and the matchup concerns me. I remember the ’94 playoffs when we were huge favorites and San Diego came to Pittsburgh and somehow the Chargers pulled off the upset. That was the worst.

Lucas!! LOL...as soon as I saw you mention 1st and Ten my mind went to the HBO show and how that was where I saw one of my first naked breasts, too(it was either that show, or Revenge of the Nerds)! 1st and Ten: In Your Face.

@Maura Johnston: Snoop Dogg was pretty funny on Around the Horn, and JA Adande probably has a Lil Weezy hookup.

Did Bayless call it “That Carter III?”

Please, ESPN, put Lil Wayne on “Around The Horn” ASAP.
