I like Baltimore as a darkhorse candidate to make to the SB this year... Love the addition of Trevor Pryce on the defensive line... throw him in there with guys like Lewis, Reed, McAlister, and Suggs and you have a SB calibur defense. On the offense, they pick up a competent QB in McNair and Mike Anderson to help out Jamal Lewis with the running game. They have enough weapons with Mason, Clayton, Heap... only question is can the offensive line keep McNair upright. If not, they are done.

I agree with Shane in picking Carolina on the NFC side. Its still a team fairly intact from their last SB run a few years ago. I love the rookie Williams from Memphis; the combo of him and Foster should make for a solid running game. The addition of Keyshawn Johnson should open up the passing game for Steve Smith and the defense will be stout as always. Obviously there biggest question is can they stay healthy?
