Am i losing my mind or can the dogs sweep the whole weekend.

Giants can and will beat the cowgirls and expose the most overrated team in history of the nfl. +8 giants?

Chargers got into peytons head last game even though peyton had guys like me to throw the ball to. I think a good bet +8.

Seattle looks awesome and there defense will give favre fits.

Jags probley will lost but +14??? Please lose Tom Gaydy. How funny that would be

the chargers and jags will get destroyed. the chargers have been mediocre/bad all season, yet no one notices. seattle has a legit shot to beat the packers. i can't rely on eli to beat the cowbows.

As much as I despise the Colts, I hope they completely dismantle the Chargers this weekend. I HATE Phillip Rivers, I hope he throws 10 interceptions

i hate LT..he cries like a little freaking baby every time things are going bad. still think it will be close but hope colts kill them. i was mainly talking from a gambling point of view.

ESPN - I said it before, I'll say it again -- Jags will beat Pats - NFL


Great article and I agree. The Jags are a team out to prove they belong and the Pats look awful satisfied after they beat the Giants to Finish 16-0. Jacksonville will run the ball early and if they get on top, will continue to run the ball... the Achilles Heel of the Pats in close games. If the JAG's D-Line controls the LOS.... they'll take it to the house. We will see but I'm thinking this:

Jag>Pats
Colt>Bolts
Dallas>Giants
Pack>Hawks

The Jags have an awesome D-Line, but the Pats are have the best pass protection unit in football. The Pats wide receivers are much better than the Jags secondary. Also, I don't think Garrard is good enough to make the Pats worry about him. They'll load up to stop the run. I'm taking the Pats in this one.

That's what the Steelers thought last week before he set up the winning FG. He aint the best, but he's only there not to screw it up for Taylor & Jones-Drew.

That's what the Steelers thought... But nearly every one of the Pats units is stronger than any other in the NFL. Expect the Pats to rush 5 and spy 1. Should be a winning combo.

For those of you who think the Cowboys will get exposed, remember who is quarterbacking for the other team. He's been decent as of late, but it's still Eli.

Seattle and Green Bay will be a flat-out good game.

And expect the Chargers to play the Colts closer than most of you expect. When the two teams played this season, the Bolts put tremendous pressure on Manning rushing only four guys. No matter how mediocre the Chargers have been all season, the fact is that they match up well against the Colts. I'm still picking Indy, just not by much.

That game was Peyton and the B-squad taking on the Chargers. PM threw 6 picks and they still almost won. I seriously doubt he throws six again.

The Chargers' play-calling went soft in the 2nd half. This is the playoffs now, and Marty is no longer the coach.

I say Colts by 4.

If Garrard & the Jags dont turn the ball over... Jags win by 10. They'll grind it out and keep the offense off the field. The Pats run defesne is overrated... run stats are inflated by the fact that they play in the AFC East and teams are having to throw the ball to play catch up. They still got a great D-Line but are not one of the best overall defenses left IMO.

The underdogs do look very good this weekend, but I wouldnt be surprised if NE & INDY both win, setting up the biggest game in the history of the NFL.
Some things the dogs got going for themselves:

If Owens doesnt play the Cowboys are finished. IMO

Playoff savvy Seahawks vs A young Packer team.
excluding Brett Favre

Jacksonville plays clock control and has a big play defense.

San Diego matches up great against Indy

Things not so good for the dogs:

Contrary to the commercial for Citizen Watch Eli Manning is not unstoppable.

Seattle cant run the ball anymore.

The media was saying the same thing about the Redskins , that they are saying about the Jags & we all know how that went.

I doubt Manning pulls a "Peyton Manning" and throws 6 picks in a game again. Antonio Gates could miss the game & Marvin Harrison is supposedly ready to play

home feild will mean something this weekend, and over and above that, the home teams each have an advantage at qb. now i understand that's not the only thing that matters, but in the playoffs, everything gets magnified.

Eli vs. Romo...maybe a push, but Eli has the baggage of already being swept by the cowboys coming in.

Peyton vs. Phillip....not even close.

Favre vs. Hasslebeck....closer than the above, but Favre at Lambeau in the playoffs is tough to beat.

Brady vs. Gerard....again, not even close. If the jags win, it will be because of a supreme effort by the defense, and gerard not doing anything to lose the game.

piont being, in all four matchups, i think the visiting teams are looking for the qb's not to lose the game. don't turnover the ball. manage the game.

the 4 home teams, they each have qb's that can WIN the game.
