Well 3 out of 4 aint bad. I’ll give the Chargers credit for playing a great game. It’s strange to think Indy played good enough defense to win, but the offense let them down. Well anyway that was then, now lets look at who the old gut thinks will win this weekend.
AFC
Titans vs Ravens — Well the Ravens really showed what they could do verses Miami, this team is a turnover machine. I don’t think the Titans played bad enough down the stretch to discount what they did all season along. Just look at Arizona, once they were in the playoffs they stopped showing up, but boy did they show up in a big why once it started counting again. I just can’t see the Titans not winning this first game. Remember it’s a lot harder to force turnovers when the team is running the ball 60% of the time and I think that’s what the Titans will do Saturday. So I’ll for sure take the Titans.
Steelers vs Chargers — After the way the Chargers played their first game you’d have to say they have a good chance of winning this game. The Steelers O line has been bad all year long and sort of thing really stands out come playoff time. I would have taken Pittsburgh if Indy would have won as I had predicted, but I just really like what I see from the Chargers defense. As good as both these QBs can be this game will be won on the defensive side of the ball. Take the Chargers in a big upset.
NFC
Panthers vs Cardinals — I still love the Panthers this year. Their first match with the Cardinals was a close come from behind win. I don’t think this one will be as close. Arizona did a good job with their running game last week, but this wont be the case this week. Can the Cardinals win with just the passing game? Can the Panthers stop Arizona’s passing game? Carolina should be about to run the Cardinals into the ground. Smart money is on Carolina.
Giants vs Eagles — The popular pick here will be the Eagles, the Giants have been playing just bad enough to lose this game. Although if you’ve seen the Eagles play this season it’s time for them to do something stupid. This is always a good game and should be a good game this weekend, but I really think that whatever the stupid thing that the Eagles do will cost them the game this weekend. So as much as I don’t believe in the Giants I have to pick them this week.

I think Donovan Mc"Duh" was scared stupid when he was taken out of the lineup a few weeks back. Since then he has been playing like he remebers what the superbowl is, and wants to go back. Combined with the all purpose efforts of Brian Westbrook, i don't think Eli and the Giants offense will be able to put enough points on the board counteract the momentum Philly has blown into the post-season with.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the Eagles by 10.
