PLAYOFFS!?!?!?
SEAHAWKS 21, COWBOYS 20
Poor Tony Romo, how will he sleep at night, on his big pile of money, clutching at Carrie Underwood, as he tosses and turns trying to figure out which tee time he wants when he goes to Hawaii in a month.
As for Martin Gramatica, I think it's time for him to hit the gym. That block he tried to throw after Romo took off had a conspicuous lack of stopping power. Mike Vanderjagt would have made a way better block, because he would have been drunk. Then as he stood over the fallen, crumpled body of the man he blocked, he would have gone on and on about how he is the NFL's most statistically accurate kicker in history.
COLTS 23, CHIEFS 8
That was cute how Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy decidedwhen they had their pajama party with Lovie Smith on Friday night to wear matching outfits for Saturday's game. Those 3 guys will have a lot more time to do each others nails when they're all out of the playoffs after next week.
Aside from the flamboyant homosexuality taking place on each sideline, Larry Johnson played this whole game like he was having his period, and Peyton Manning looked like he was playing pin the tail on the donkey every time he tried to throw a simple hook route to Marvin Harrison. They've been playing together for 10 years and yesterday they looked like they've never seen each other before in their lives. This game was not good.
I've already previewed today's early game, Patriots vs. Jets (with the Pats winning big). Who or whom do I like in the afternoon Eagles/Giants tilt?
NY GIANTS (8-8)
AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (10-6)
3:30 PM CST
EAGLES O (2ND OVERALL, 11TH RUSH, 3RD PASS)
V. GIANTS D (25TH O, 14TH R, 28TH P)
The 3rd ranked passing offense in the league battles the 28th ranked pass defense. All things just keep getting better for Jeff Garcia.
ADVANTAGE- EAGLES
GIANTS O (14TH O, 7TH R, 19 P)
V. EAGLES D (15TH O, 26TH R, 9TH P)
Philly's run defense has been awful at times this year. It was only a month ago that they were gashed for 200+ yards in 3 out of 4 games. That could be a problem against Tiki Barber. However, these teams met very recently, in Week 15. In that game, the Giants managed only 88 rushing yards, and turned it over 4 times. If what happens today comes anywhere close to what happened then, the Giants don't have a chance.
ADVANTAGE- EAGLES
VARIOUS AND SUNDRY
Again, it wasn't very long ago that these same teams met up at the Meadowlands, and the Eagles spanked the Giants in what was a huge game for both teams. Not much has happened since to suggest that this game will be much different. Plus, the Giants are 2-5 this year against teams with winning records. They are in the playoffs solely on the virtue of beating up on tomato cans, and the Eagles are not a tomato can.
ADVANTAGE- EAGLES
HERE'S YOUR FORECAST
I'm 2 for 2 so far in these playoffs, and expect to be 3 for 3 heading into this game. I think the Eagles problems stopping the run may be exposed in this game, but the Giants defense just sucks all around, and that's going to be too much to overcome against the potent Philly offense.
EAGLES 34, GIANTS 24
