Please don't make this a flame thread...I am just wondering what the Neowin picks are.

Incase the two poles are confusing,

First pole pick = "your team" i.e. if you live in Pittsburgh you will probable pick Pittsburgh

Second pole pick = the team you think most likely to win i.e. if you were betting money...so even a person living in Pittsburgh who chose Pittsburgh for pole #1 could choose another team for pole #2

I've always been a Broncos fan, but I didn't expect more than ten wins out of them this season. They've been a nonstop pleasant surprise for me since the second game of the season. I know Pitt is a tough game (especially after beating the Superbowl favorites on the road), but I'm still picking my Broncos to win.

Plus, I don't know if the game against Indy was the real deal or not; they're only 1-3 in their last four games. I don't mean to take anything from the Steelers (they've been playing some HOT football the last few weeks), but I'm not so sure Indy wasn't on a skid to start with.

Indy was on a skid because they weren't trying to win after the loss to SD. The loss to Seattle was meaningless for both teams and starters didn't play much.

ANYONE BUT CAROLINA! OOOO I HATE THOSE PANTHERS! :@

Oh wait, no, sorry, that's wrong, on second thought I DO want the Panthers to win :laugh:

Actually, here is how I look at it. I think Chicago was a more difficult opponent for us than Seattle will be. Does that mean I think the game will be easy? Not a chance, it's still going to be a very good game, but I honestly think Chicago was the hardest team we were going to face. That said, if I put us into the Superbowl, I think our opponent will be Pittsburgh, and I feel MUCH more hopeful with them than I did when I thought we might be playing Indianapolis. Honestly, I think we have a good chance, or at least a much better chance than we did in 2003. I can't wait :D

Carolina is a little inconsistent at times, but I think the playoffs are forcing them to stay focused. Assuming they are playing at 100%, I think they are the team to beat. So that said, I'm going for a Carolina vs Pittsburgh Super Bowl, and I think Carolina can win it. Carolina on both votes for me :)

Seattle all the way, my boy shaun alexander is going to run all over carolina!

Haha, that's one of the few things that I feel very confident WILL NOT happen. Good luck with it though. The last two teams we played (both strong running teams) didn't even get a total of 150 yards combined.

The thing is, most of the people voting in this poll are apparently picking the same team for both because they can't separate their rooting interest from their actual unbiased thoughts.

I guess if you don't have a team, you might just cheer for whoever you think will win. More likely is that people pick a team to root for, and then pick them to win.

Humm...your right for the most part atm it looks like of the 42 people who voted 37 of them picked the same team for both. It's just when I made the pole I was like I want Denver to win....but then was thinking carolina or seattle would take it...hehe in the end I did what every one else is, voted for the team I like to win. If I could vote again I would probable go with carolina or seattle, I still can't figure out which one though, I can't wait till this weekend.

    • I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
    • Transmission 4.1.2 by Razvan Serea Transmission is a fast, easy-to-use bittorrent client with support for encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more. Transmission has one of the lowest memory & resource footprints of any major BitTorrent client. Transmission's light overhead is one reason why it is so well suited for home NAS and media servers. Having been used by Western Digital, Zyxel and Belkin, Transmission gives truly impressive performance on almost any compatible hardware. Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn't play games with its users to make money. Transmission doesn't bundle toolbars, pop-up ads, flash ads, twitter tools, or anything else. It doesn't hold some features back for a payware version. Its source code is available for anyone to review. Transmission doesn't track users, the website and forums have no third-party ads or analytics. Transmission 4.1.2 changelog: This is Transmission 4.1.2, a bugfix release. It fixes 20+ bugs and has a few performance improvements too. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
