I’m with ya on all 4!!

If you see my analysis above, made right after the wildcard games ended, I must admit to some slight tinkering to the games. The picks remain the same, however.......

I think 10 points may be a little high as I feel that Arizona will try and succeed somewhat with Edge James and that potent offense. Experience and 2 great RB’s in Williams and Stewart is enough for the Panthers to move on. And I didn’t even mention Steve Smith yet.
A most entertaining game that the Panthers hang on to win 28-24.

The other games are essentially the same.

RAVENS 20 TITANS 13

CHARGERS 13 STILLERS 24

and the upset of the season
IGGLES 23 G-MEN 16

Well, I am starting to get ready for my 9 AM tailgate on Sunday. Me and my buds will be serving Philly cheesesteaks and some adult refreshments. We are supposed to get around six inches of snow starting Saturday morning, so it will be fun sitting in snowy/icy stands in the windy Meadowlands with 20 degree temps.

My G-men will win! GO BLUE!

Should be an intriguing match-up on Sunday. I'm hearing lots of confidence from the Giant fan base and rightfully so. The Giants are the Super-Bowl Champs for a reason.
However, as an Eagle fan, I cherish this opportunity.
We were dead and buried just 3 weeks ago and now we got a shot at taking down our arch rivals, the Super-Bowl Champs, in their own backyard. Should be a good one.
Enjoy those Cheesesteaks my friend!
GO BIRDS!

Well, a good old-fashioned January NFC East game...what fun! We have to either stop Westbrook or sack McNabb on occasion. Hard to do both...but we'll try.

If you can get a ticket, I will have a cheesesteak and a beer for you (and because of the economy, the tic prices are not as bad as you might think; face value 120-150).

We will be in parking area 10B on the east side of the stadium...

Overtime vs. Sudden Lose Syndrome...

Make them play the FULL 15 mins - the clock stops ONLY for change of possession??...one team scores, the other gets a chance to score. If they don’t, then the other team in the lead gets the ball back and so forth until the time expires. Now that is FAIR!

Well you guys have fun Sunday!!! Those tix prices almost seem reasonable for the 2nd round of the playoffs.

As I have said above, the thing I’m looking at is that I see the G-Men having problems scoring Sunday. Now as solid as that offensive line is, and as rock solid as Brandon is, I really think without that big, physical receiver, I give the Eagles’ secondary the opportunity to make some big plays giving Donovan a short field to work with.

If Brian Westbrook can have 1 of those games and can offset BJ, the difference is Donovan making enough plays to survive a nailbiter of a game......

I agree with all your thoughts. Westbrook is one of the few players in the NFL (IMHO) who can, essentially, win a game by himself.

However, I think Coaches Tom, Kevin and Steve will throw enough change-ups in the game plan to beat the Iggles 24-13.

I agree too. Without Burress to defend, the Eagles D will “cheat” tight to the line of scrimmage on 1st & 2nd down trying to stop the run and force some obvious passing downs, where they’ll try to force Eli into some bad plays.
I think the Giants may have to throw more on 1st & 2nd down to keep the Eagles D honest. As far as McNabb goes, well who the heck knows? Hopefully he’ll have a short field and Westbrook & Buckhalter can be used effectively to take some pressure off him. I also think Special teams will be a huge factor in this game.
