^ that would be something lol

Cards vs Eagles... I just don't know. Eagles defense been stepping up, but then again the Cards defense raped the Panthers. Fiztgerald is on fire, Boldin still out . This one should be a decent game.

Steelers vs Ravens... Two great, defense based teams. Honestly I think it will be low scoring, something like 10-7 which will actually make for a pretty boring game just based on the fact that there will be little/no scoring.

I love it. Keep it up. The Eagles play their best when no one gives them a chance.

Wstevens is just an angry homer.

Eagles DESTROYED Steelers when they played this year. Ravens game was 10-7 before McNabb was benched and you can bet it will be a different game.

Arizona will be tough but the Eagles gameplan worked well the first time putting up 48 points. The way the defense is playing, half of that should be enough.

Do you ever actually watch Steelers/Ravens games? Just because they are low-scoring does not mean they are boring. No one appreciates good defense coupled with late scoring drives anymore.

I love watching great defenses play. It feeds my dislike of Bob Babich and his bend-then-break scheme.

I'd say I like them too, but I hate it when teams play GREAT defense ALL GAME then on the last drive they let the other team go 80 yards to score a game winner.

Predictions? Everyone's writing off the Ravens and I've seen a few pick Arizona with the homefield.

Even being a Steeler fan it's hard to write off the Ravens since the Steelers SUCK in AFC championship games at home..

Hard to pick this week's games. But here are my picks:

Philadelphia: I just can't see Arizona in the Super Bowl; something about it just doesn't seem right.

Pittsburgh: I would have picked Baltimore, but with Suggs and others hurt, I'll give the Steelers a slight edge.


That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it goes the other way.

Seeing the Rams in the Super Bowl awhile back seems wrong as well. But it was Warner that got them there. Seeing the Eagles in the NFC game, make me think of one thing, they're going to lose again.

I can see McNabb doing something stupid like last week and the phone, losing it for them. When ever you think he just might have it, he does something to screw it up.

Great point; I actually remember thinking the exact same thing about the Rams back then.

Believe me, I'm not really an iggles fan, I'm force fed iggles weekly, because of where I live. But I don't think McFlab is going to screw it up this time.

The fan base in Philly is foaming at the mouth in anticipation of stomping the guts out of the Cards. NO ONE from Philly is taking Arizona seriously

I think it will be the iggles and Steelers.
