Sunday Playoff Picks

Huge games today. i predict TO-less Philly, (whom, all year long, i figured would go all the way) will lose to Minnesota, with bad-ass Randy Moss looking to silence his critics. i also predict that the Pats (famous for their winning streak) will go down at the hands of the Colts (famous for their QB's TD streak).

Halftime update: Moss' head is not in the game. My predictions have become like the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Postgame update: Philadelphia won pretty handily, 27 to 14, setting up a battle of the birds next weekend. (Can i take credit for being the first to call the NFC championship game the battle of the birds?) i totally forgot about the weather at Gillette Stadium, but i'm sticking with my prediction for the Pats-Colts game.

Post Pats game update: Fucken shit.

As good as Moss is, he's still a moody, overpaid prima donna, who has never had anyone in authority set limits on him.

Until that happens, he will continue to be an immature kid w/too much money and too much time on his hands.

Given his behavior in today's game, I rest my case.

Look for an Eagles/Patriot Super Bowl.

Will be a great game.

Sadly (for you) the pats come through once again. Another (perhaps weather-related) victory for the home team and still with a hodge-podge defense (that played amazingly)!

Weather or not the Pats were going to win this one Annika. Tony Dungy is the Marty Shotenheimer of the new millenium. Great coach, but as I watched the game it bacame very clear that the Pats were on a whole different level of intensity. Its like when we had Ditka coaching the Bears. Not a great strategist leading up to the game, but with great players, nobody brought more intesity on Sunday afternoon.

i think Belichick gets his team ready better than any coach in the NFL. Plus NE has the cutest GB ever.

I assume you mean QB, as in Brady. I'm secure enough to admit he is attractive, however, did you see his post game interview yesterday? Whats with the hair and beard? The guy looks a bit like a cross between the BGs before really big hair and Clint in the Spaghetti Western days! Maybe it was just a bad case of helmet head.

Yes, QB. he's so adorable, i can't even type properly.

He, he, he ,he...

Not only will the Pats slam the Steelers on their field (Heinz - ring a bell?) shutting up their mutant fans, but they also will win the body count!

Now that's a threesome!

Outside of New England, it's widely known that he's as queer as a three dollar bill.

Casca,

Well, then maybe Buffalo ought to find one.

Well, I'm a big Steelers fan going all the way back to when I wanted to be Mean Joe Green, Dwight White, and L.C. Greenwood all in the same person. Not bad for a white suburban kid.

None-the-less, its hard to see how the Steelers win this one - especially if our host picks 'em.

Doh!

i haven't picked em yet. That was my dad.
