Falcons travel west to play the Cardinals.

Wow the Road Teams are all dogs.......Something sounds a little odd about that. I like Ryan and Turners chance in the game. In the end I think Boldin and future hall of fame qb can make this home team dog a winner. The Cardinals got clearence to air local tv by leslie pools buying the tickets. You but 100 dollars worth of supplies you too could have a ticket......Dallas fans if you still have your stub you  can get a discout ticket so you to can watch a playoff team.......lol.

Cardinals in a close high scoring game.

Boldin had the biggest play of the Day and Matt Ryan looked like A rookie at times. The key ingredients for a Cardinal Victory. Well that was an easy pick so far. I was impressed in the Cardinals Def. They showed up more then I expected. Now on to the next round. Cardinals are either traveling to Carolina or New York. They Lost to Carolina in Carolina and gave the Giants a win in Arizona. So either way they are gonna be trying to avoid the sweep. Home Field Advantage 1 Visitors 0.

 The Falcons earned credit for making the playoffs and wish them future success. The Vick Petrino experience is way behind them now. Hotlanta is back on the map.

Chargers Send the MVP home for the season.

Well, atleast now Manning can get his hair cut......Also NFL network there goes brother vs. brother Super Bowl. The Chargers actual took it to the Colts. A few mental and physical mistakes early made it an over time game. A Rivers interception in endzone stopped a great drive. The Drive befre was a turn over by the runningback on the two yard line. The Colts should of just taken the safety and get better field position on the Chargers with less then 2 minutes left. The Chargers deserved this game and must admit at half time I started to root for them. I hate to get a lose in playoffs but now I know what it is like to root for the underdog.

Ravens make tune out of the Dolphins.

Fitting with Bill Parcells possible last game as a Dolphin. The Ravens dominate and if not for one fumble on first drive and a prevent D score the Dolphins never got started. The Dolphins where unable to get to Flacco but they held him under 200 yards but he did get a rushing TD and his RB's besides a fumble help him to win. Flacco is only the third starting Rookie QB to win a playoff game. Now they get the Chance as the third string to take on the Titans. It should be a good Defensive game. We will look at the matchups later in the week.

    The wins keep on rolling in. anoth 3-1 record and I am feeling hot.  My lose was the Colats and at halftime I was rooting for the Chargers. Lets recap on last weeks picks.

The Cardinals hosted the surprising Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan the rookie of the year had his goal to be third rookie QB to win a game. The Cardinals and their new running attack decide they wanted a win at home. The Cardinals used short passes and a running game to win the game. They big play which I called was by Boldin and his catch and break away TD. Larry Fitz also scored on a flee flicker, which was set up by the rub of course. Cardinals get the Task at stopping Carolina at home. Panthers are 8-0 at their home turf and Cardnials might be a little out matched.

Tulsa and Ball sate hook up tonight.

This game could go either way. I like Ball State to prove their one lost season was not a fluke. Why Tulsa who is now the favorite had a decent season. With two close loses and a blowout by houston. The Weather in the game will effect the out come. So look for Ball State to get the upset and score should hit under.

Coaches Needed please apply.

I know it might be a little early to hire a coach, Have to interview and wait for some teams to get booted from the playoffs to make a decision. So why did the Jets owner go on a Vacation?????? Would he not atleast be home for the playoffs? More reason I think the Jets chocked against Miami to keep New England out of the playoffs.

One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Proving once again that just because you do not fit in here there is always a place for you. Eric Man-genius lost his job as head coach of the Jets. He seems to be about to land the job as The Browns new head Coach. All I can say is Mangenius better be prepared to make Brady Quinn a Super star....lol. Browns have a few more weapons then the Jets. So lets hope he can get the job done.

Freedom to interview.

The Boston College Eagles proved they can stand their ground. They told their coach not to interview for a job and if he did..........He could be the Jets next coach or he could be unemployed as BC lived up to there word and Fired Jeff Jagodzinski. The Jets have Jeff as a long shot, so he might be trying to find a spot as an offensive coordinator if he dose not land the job.

BCS Championship game.

Final college game of the season. Not that it is ending the way it should. I still rather have a play off system. To we change the way we decide a champion this is the best we have to offer. I personel had to flip a coin to decide the winner. I know the rule is win heisman lose championship so Florida is the pick. Vegas also agreed that that Florida was going to win. So Oklahoma would need a lot things to go there way for a victory. Thought the 5 points in vegas sounds good. The time for the coin toss, heads Florida tails Sooners. Coin is up and landed on tails. Well, my offical Pick is taking the points and going with the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Ravens flight in to Titan land.

The Ravens and Titans have had a couple great playoff games. So the winner here should have a good chance to making the trip to Tampa. Now the first meeting belonged to Tenn. With this match up will be decided by the Ravens Def. The pressure on QB and the handeling of Chris Johnson. Whie the Ravems are playing good and very happy with their advancemeny in the playoffs.

Ravens will squeeze a game from The grips of the Titans.

Arizona travles to Carolina for a Saturday matchup.

The Panthers are 8-0 at home this season. While on the East coast Cardinals are 0-5. Now the Cardinal migh have a big heart but looks like their season is over. Plus Cardinals might be with out or limited with A. Boldin. One last thing to help you make this pick. The Cardinals where on 15 yard line when Kurt threw a pic and lost by four.  With the line being so high it could easily go either way.

Ravens make a stand and with the refs help get a win.

The Ravens knew they could keep it close with the Titans and their Defense could make Kerry Collins pay for play. The Titans seemed to move the ball at will but after one TD the Offense seem to stall. Three turnovers did not help either. Two of them came in field goal range. Then on a 4th down play fumble the snap.....Ouch whay a day to suit up. Then The Zebras decided to make things tuff for the the home team. 12 flags for a total or 89 yards, with the best non call to come.

The Ravens do not want to hear rookie QB talk any longer. Cool Joe Flacco is a pro now. He did not have many yards but two big pass plays where the difference in the game. Joe is not burning down the house but is doing enough to advance. The Ravens D also has stepped up big.  They are playing some of the best ball in the league right now. I hope for a Steelers win and see the rematch of the so called touchdown catch. Three more turnovers helped keep this game close. In the end the Leg of MattStover and a non delay of game call help seal a win.

The Panthers let loose and Cardinals Win.

Wow Jake Delhome should of done what most people do on their birthday......Then Again 5 picks and a fumble, Maybe he did take the day off. Now I am not trying to take away from the Cardinals, but man the Panthers did not even show up this week. I mean a 8-0 team at home and to lose like this. Steve Smith 2 catches and a td with a whooping 43 yards. Deangelo "the beast" Williams was total taken out of the mix.

Cardinals looking to play one more time. They Want another rematch againts the Giants or The Eagles. Both who beat them up prett bad last time. Kurt Warner had a decent game with 2 td's and one interception. 133 yards rush between James and Rookie Hightower. Larry Fitz did not miss Boldin as he got 8 catches for 166 yards and a TD. Cardinals D was stellar for a second week in a row. five picks and a fumble is just what a Defese needed to dominate this game. Now tommorrow they get to Sit back and Watch the Eagles and Giants bash each other up and take on the Winner. I have to think their fingers are crossed to see the Eagles at hime, but after a nice win on the east coast they might not care who they play next Sunday.

Eagles take down the New Jersey Giants in the medowlands.

The Giants got the first round bye and home field through the playoffs. To bad they forgot to win the first game. The Birds took it to the the Jersey Giants. So far the bye weeks have not ment a thing. Giants turn the ball over three times. Now the have the whole off season to decide what to do with Plexi. 

The Eagles four point dogs. If you read the blog, you already knew that.  Now the first half was a little ugly. Noe the Eagles took over the second half. Eli threw two pick and Steve Smith fumbled to end the game. Phil gets to travel to Arizona for the rematch game. Lets Go Bird!!!!!!!!!!

Steelers Only Team to keep Home Field Advantage.

The Chargers came out throwing and end the game throwing. Someone just to need to remind Rivers to get points. The Chargers where over matched and the back to back games did not help.  LT was on the sideline meaning Sproles had to carry the load. Not much of a load since they are in the air more the the Eagles.  The Chargers nailed their own coffin with a pass interference.

The game is set in stone. The Pittsburgh Steelers get to host the Baltimore Ravens. This is the third time the two teams meet. The big story is Baltimore Ravens Rookie starting Quarterback doing the same thing Big Ben did his rookie season. The are two of only three rookie QB's to win their first playoff game as a rookie.  Flacco already had him beat for rookie starts with 18 games going on 19 nless something happens. While  Ben Roethlisberger only started  15 games his rookie Season. With A win Flacco Would set a high rookie standard with 20 starts in Rookie season with the current schedule be impossable to beat. The Ravens lost the first game by a field goal. Then the Second game their was a questionable  call of a TD that gave the Steelers the Win.

The Philadelphia Eagles get to travel ut West for A Showdown with Arizona Cardinals.

The Thanksgiving rematch. The first time these two teams meet on a night thanksgiving game, The Philadelphia Eagles turned on the Offense. The Cardinals where already shue ins to win the division. They where just going through the emotions. The where resting up for a playoff run. The have a lot of threats on the offense and since play offs started the Defense has step it up. These Two teams are rolling in the playoffs and the Desert should be lit up with points on Sunday afternoon. The Home team has also re found a running game. Which helps the old arm of Kurt Warner, plus he could be getting A. Boldin back.

The video is for my loyal bloggers who like Eagle Cheerleaders. I will try to find a better video next time.

Ravens vs. Steelers.

This game is going to be a blood bath with lots of hits and last man standing to goes to Tampa Bay for the super bowl. The Steelers already have two wins againts the Ravens this year. A threepete might be a little hard for such a great matchup. These teams know each other pretty well, with the last game being decided by a so calledtouchdown pass. The first game was in overtime when Reed kicked a field goal to win.

This time I expect a over game and take the points. Straight up I think the Steelers are going to be playing again in two weeks.

Super Bowl 43

After the Eagles choked on this years chance I started to think which way to go. The Steelers going for their 6th and most for one team. Then you have the Cards going for their first. Ouch I really wanted the Birds in this years game. Well, as a true football fan I had to break the game down to which team earned it more.  The Answer was simple time to get the coin out.......lol.

Steelers Road to Super Bowl

They took a few lumos, but also dished out some as well. They had a hard season on offense,but boy was there Def. steller. Ben was sacked more times then people working at circuit city.(they are goin out of businness and all there associates are getting sacked). Willie Parker was unable to play most of the season. They have some talented Recievers, but they seem to have league or personel issues. They have two young talented tightends and they are going to play a big part Sunday. Their Def have a ton of talent and as long as Dick Lebeau stays they will be in top 10 in the league. Kee an eye out for Troy Palomula's Coca Cola Commercail tommorow. Their 12-4 record was second in the AFC and after a great game against the Chargers they had to beat the Ravens for a third time.
