Predictions
So we have 4 games this weekend. 8 teams trying to make it to the final four. I will give it my best shot and see if I can "Mrs Cleo" the future.
The Cowboys taking on the Giants:I know the Cowboys are at home and this could be the start of their run to the Superbowl but I don't trust Tony Romo. This is the second season in a row, that he has finished weak and limped into the playoffs. The Cowboys have to worry about him and the fact that Terrell Owens isl not 100 percent. T.O. is a gamer but that high ankle sprain is some serious stuff. That's 4 to 6 weeks, at least. On the other hand, the Giants are playing well and on the road, New York is solid. They have lost to the Cowboys twice this season. It seem a lot to think a team will lose to the same opponent, 3 times.
I like New York in this game.T
he Packers taking on the Seahawks:I love Brett Favre and all that he means for the NFL. Number 4 is all about football and taking this young squad to the playoffs, this late in his career is unbelievable but that's just it. The Packers are young. For many of these guys, this will be the first time they see what it's like on the big stage. They could make young mistakes and Brett could just start to heave it up. Last week, I thought Mike Holmgren and the Seahawks defense, could make all the difference and after watching them play against the Redskins, I know they are for real. Favre is great and the Packers have had a fairy tale season. It might end this weekend.
I like Seattle in this game. The Colts taking on the Chargers:This could be the blowout of the weekend. The Chargers have L.T. and he is all of that and a bag of chips but Phillip Rivers is way to up and down. They need a solid game against the Colts and I am not sure that can happen. Indy is rested and Marvin Harrison is coming back. Plus, Peyton Manning is simply Peton Manning. He won't let them lose at home. Tony Dungy is a fantastic coach and if this is his last season, he will win his last game in the dome.
I like Indianapolis in this game.The Patriots taking on the Jaguars:I was all for Jacksonville and then they played the Pittsburgh Steelers and changed my mind. They can not beat the Patriots if they play that reckless. The Pats have heard all the rumors. Everybody is picking against them in this game. Now they have had 2 weeks to prepare. Tom Brady and his bunch, will spread the Jaguar defense out and they should pick them apart. Jacksonville will try and run the ball. I think the Pats will take that away and force David Garrard to beat them. He could have done it a couple of weeks ago but not Saturday night.
I like New England in this game.
