I always root for the NFC, except when the Pats are representing the AFC--which means I don't have a team to root for this year. What is it, the third year the Dumpducks have been in the NFC?
Here's my rooting interest--the Steelers are one of the 3 original NFL teams who moved to the AFC to give it balance after the merger (the other two being the Colts and Browns/Ravens). So I go with the Steelers.
