NFL Playoffs

The Baltimore Ravens play the Tennesee Titans at 4:30PM today. I expect this to be a defensive battle. They did play earlier in the year with the Titans winning by a score of 13-10. I expect a very similar game with the Titans winning 17-14. The weather will not be a factor in this game with 45 degree temperatures and no precipitation. The Arizona Cardinals travel to Carolina to face the Panthers tonight at 8:15PM. The Cardinals are 0-5 on the east coast this year and i dont expect them to get their first win tonight. The Cards may be without star wideout Boldin and that is not good for them. I expect the Panthers to win 28-14 and that may be genrous. The two games tomorrow will feature the Super Bowl Champion Giants hosting the Philadelphia Eagles who are flying high at 1:00PM tomorrow. The weather for this game will be a factor with 15-25mph winds expected and frigid temperaturs. I expect a rough and tough NFC east battle. I see the Giants prevailing by a score of 24-17. I think the Giants will get to McNabb a little and slow down Westbrook especially with the passing games being taken out by the weather. I think the Giants will run it and wear the eagles D down and control the time of posession. Tomorrow night will feature the San Diego Chargers traveling to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. The weather will be a factor in this one as well. The temperature is supposed to be 24 degrees with 9 mph winds and a 10 percent chance of snow. I dont see anyway that the Chargers survive this game. I am calling the Steelers 21-10. If my predictions hold true we will have the 1 vs 2 seed in both conferences which will set up nicely. Enjoy the games on this cold,snowy day here in New Jersey. Go Big Blue

  2. Well we were already wrong on the first game and this game isn't looking good either, the Cards already have more points then i thought.
