Which team do you want to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl?

One week down in the playoffs, 2 teams have been eliminated from the NFC, and 4 remain. Wild Card weekend was decided largely by some disappointment from the losing teams' kickers. Dallas and Seattle kept the game close for the majority of the game, with Seattle losing their kicker to injury as he pulled something in his kicking leg while missing an attempt to close out the first half. The game stayed close for the rest of the game, as Seattle had a chance in the closing minute if they could recover an onside kick. Unfortunately, without the kicker, the punter made a rather pathetic attempt at an onside kick which launched the ball clean over the front line, straight into a Cowboy player's hands well beyond the reach of anyone on the Seahawks. The Bears, meanwhile, allowed the Eagles to take the lead away from them late in the game, but still had enough time left on the clock to take the ensuing drive far enough down the field for a relatively easy field goal attempt to win the game. The Eagles called a timeout just before the first attempt which sailed between the uprights beautifully. Then, the second attempt was looking like it had a good chance, but continued pulling further and further to the left, until..."Doink...DOINK!", it bounced off the upright and then off the crossbar, back into the field for a miss, his 6th (and 7th) doinked kick of the season.

Now, we approach the Divisional round of the playoffs with the Eagles visiting the Saints, and the Cowboys visiting the Rams. With only 4 teams left, and plenty of sour grapes among Vikings fans and 2 or 3 of these remaining teams, I have a good feeling I know how this survey will turn out, but please vote anyways. I'd like to see if the results are as one sided as I would guess. Then please go vote for your pick in the AFC as well.
