Super Bowl

Why do I have this prediction?
Don't know.
But, here it is:

PIT: 27
AZ: 24

But, I'm pulling for AZ.

Enjoy the best day of Football all year! (Only made better if the Bears were in it... and won.)

Champs

Here is who is going to the Superbowl:

The Steelers
The Cardinals.

Yup.
Those are my choices.

The Ravens' defence isn't as scary as they pretend that they are. Watch for the first interception from their rookie QB. The Steelers have their number. This despite many people saying "It's hard to beat a team three times in one season." No, it's not. You have the ability to see what worked and how to not only copy that, but build upon that. Ray Lewis is a blow-hard and will be silenced today.
The more controversial choice - Arizona. Yes. Here's why: The Eagles love to blitz. They are very scary when blitzing and usually create great results. However, that will not be a good game-plan against the Cardinals. Warner is great in dealing with the blitz. While his O-Line isn't perfect, it is better than most. Plus, they anticipate the blitz well and usually give Warner several options to get the ball out. Expect some big plays early. As long as AZ can gain the momentum and the lead early, it will become an uphill battle for The Eagles.
This was a hard decision. If PHI realizes this, then they could shut down AZ. AZ will have to go to their running game if PHI covers the field well. AZ isn't that great at the run-game and this could go the way of The Eagles. However, with the inflated egos of The Eagles' defence, I see them starting out by blitzing heavy and then having to re-adjust.

My post-season record has been a little less than desired. I haven't run the numbers, but I bet that I'm somewhere around .500 for the post season. So, expect the Superbowl to host The Eagles vs. The Ravens.

Enjoy your football!

Post Season

Both the Giants and Colts are in the post season. Many, including myself, would like to see if they end up playing each other in the Super Bowl. This would pit brothers Peyton and Eli Manning against each other. Finally we will see who Archie likes better. (Chad from Effingham reminded me that it was Matt from AZ.) Both Matt and Peyton play today. (Well, Matt is in more of a Grossman position with his I-Pod on the side-lines, but he will be there.)
Here are the post season picks. (Not that the post season matters this year!)

ATL over AZ (I like Matt Ryan and Turner here.)
IND over SD (For some reason this is an upset. Yes, IND hasn't been playing as they have in past seasons, but in the post season they are a different team.)
BAL over MIA (What is MIA doing here?!)
PHI over MIN (MIN shouldn't be in the post season either.)

Without the Bears, it is pointless. But, should you watch the post season, this is how it's going to shape up.

New NFL Week!!!

Da Bears have already played and won against The Saints. Of course I was going to pick Da Bears, so we will add that to my picks. Our defence showed up to play. They brought both the noise and the funk. Our offence seems to have lost a step. Orton needs to gain some confidence (he has the protection, if you ask me.) And speaking of confidence, our special teams FINALLY ran one back this week. This SHOULD have lit a fire under 23's ass, but it didn't. Instead he kept going backwards. But, I will not do that. Let us look forward to this weeks' remaining games:



SEA over STL
NYJ over BUF (Why is this game on instead of The Packers? I think that Chicagoians would rather see a divisional rival fall on their face instead of a town in NY that no one ever travels to?)
MIA over SF
SD over KC (The official "I don't care" game of the week.)
JAX over GB (First upset of the week. I had to go against my better judgement here.)
IND over DET (Let's have a consistent season, Detroit, shall we?)
TEN over HOU
WAS over CIN
ATL over TB
AZ over MIN (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!)
NE over OAK
BAL over PIT
CAR over DEN
NYG over DAL (Upset two. TO needs to shut up in order to get some wins.)
PHI over CLE



That's it for this week.
Enjoy your football.
Go ARIZONA!!!
