Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore - Ravens. Manning is a punk choke artist until he proves this wrong. Ravens defense is very difficult and if Manning throws picks, they will loose.
Indy defense is a punk choke artist until they prove that Manning deserves them. Leaving Manning to win games has proven hard to accomplish, and KC was hardly the "real" test for them to finally and perminently figure out how to tackle NFL-style.
Phila. Eagles at New Orleans - Eagles. Last time they played, Saints only won by a field goal at the end. The Eagles are a better team now. Technically not an upset- lots of people expect the Eagles to get to the Supe. They have an edge in experience. Should be a very close game.
Only two NFC teams I care about currently still in the playoff picture. Pity they have to play each other now, but that's the way it goes. Until Garcia pumped live into the Eagles, I figured they were out of it, but with Jeff getting so much out of this team, it could happen at least for one more week.
I
REEEEAAALLY would like the Saints to win it all, because I visit New Orleans often and when there, it is impossible not to root for the home team when out in sports bars - the city needs this. But this team is still figuring out weekly how to win, and they have not had good success at home against even average opponents. I think the Eagles can win and while
THAT doesn't bother me, that it will be at the expense of the Saints does.
Seattle Seahawks at Chicago - It doesn't matter, as the winner will loose in the next game! Probably Chicago will win.
It matters. The Seahawks lucked out against Dallas and sometimes lucky wins can snowball for a team, especially one coached by Holmgren. But if defense wins post season games, the Hawks will be squawking after next week.
New England Patriots at San Diego. - Chargers are the best team in football now, but the Pats have an edge in experience. Still, I'm going with the Chargers, guessing that Bruschi and Vrable will have a very tough time stopping Tomlinson.
I hate the Chargers.
HATE THEM!!!! I want the Chargers to beat the Patriots so bad, I feel nauseous. Ask me how
THAT makes me feel? Not only do I want San Diego to pound the crap out of New England, I would pay extra to see that slime Brady carted off the field in three body bags.
