It's kinda sad that a team like the Bucs missed out on the playoffs when Seattle made it in with a losing record.
The NFC West is sad period.
Yepp.. TB would have been a lot more competitive than Seattle. First division champs with a losing record :facepalm:
Fucking pathetic, might as well put my Dolphins in the payoffs as well they're 7-9 too.
Patriots and Bears in the superbowl.
Saints over Seahawks
Jets over Colts
Ravens over chiefs
Packers over Eagles
So how much of Seattle are you taking?
Seahawks are 5-3 at home. NO is 6-2 on road, and kicked some Seahawk ass earlier this season. I wouldn't count on a seahawk win lol.
I'm not saying that I think Seattle will win, just that they have potential at home. It was only 2 years ago when the Cardinals, who were considered the worst team to ever make the playoffs, made it to the superbowl. I don't care either way though I'm an Eagles fan.:D
Do you, in your honest unbiased opinion, think that the Eagles will prevail this weekend?
Yes. Philadelphia has a high powered offense with potential for a big play on every down. Philly's defense is statistically bad, but it forces turnovers better than most other teams.
The Packers have strong, but one dimensional offense and although their defense has been solid lately I don't think it will be enough.
Here's some trivia for the season: the Packers lost to the Lions.:rolleyes:
OK here is some more trivia;
Week 1: Sep 12 GB 27 @ PHI 20
Week 2: Sep 19 PHI 35 @ DET 32
Week 17: Jan 2 DAL 14 @ PHI 13
So Philly lost to the Packers, barely beat the Lions, lost to the Cowboys (who have the same 6-10 record as the Lions), and has only beaten two team all year with a winning record.
I just don't see Philly overcoming a much Packers team that is nothing like it was when it lost a 2 point squeaker to the Lions back on Oct 3. Compared to an Eagles squad that just lost to 6-10 Dallas.
Vick didn't enter this game until the second half and unfortunately it wasn't enough time to fix what Kevin Kolb fucked up. [/excuses]
Can't really say much about that however, barely winning is a lot better than barely losing.
Wrong. Eagles have beaten Atlanta (13-3), Indianapolis (10-6), and swept the Giants (10-6). Jacksonville although not a winning season (8-8) was also beaten quite convincingly.
I was referring to the Lions beating the Packers 7-3 on December 12. I didn't realize that they were swept by Detroit.
Also this: The Lions are a much improved team this year opposed to the perennial puds we are used to seeing from Detroit.
You're right about the Lions improving. They're finally starting to find what works for them. Detroit made a statement in winning the last 4 games of the season. They could be a playoff calibur team very soon. They just need Matt Stafford to stop hurting his shoulder every other game.
13 - 10 Green Bay
Detroit whooped my Dolphins smh. That was just embarrassing.
I predict Bears and Patriots in superbowl.
Srsly, I think Pats will def. be in the Superbowl too
There is no way the Eagles make it to the Super Bowl, get real.
Nobody cares what you think.
...and nobody cares that you don't think...
What are they so lacking in that makes you think this?
edit: sorry I don't know why that matters I'm just glad a sports thread is going
While they were ranked as the number 12 on defense overall they are ranked number 21 in yards allowed per game and 21 in points allowed. Granted they are the number two ranked overall offense. But offense wins football games and defense wins championships (playoffs too).
I'm suprised I can't hear the cheering from my house.

Don't look for Baltimore's defense to be able to push the Steelers offensive line around the way they did with KC today and don't look for Falco to have the kind of day he had today with Troy Polamalu to contend with all day. Take the Steelers and give up the points.

Jan 15 8:00 pm EST Green Bay Packers @ Atlanta Falcons -2 (FOX)
On a neutral field the Packers would be the favorite in this match up. While Green Bay was 7 - 1 @ home this year and only 3 - 5 on the road they showed today they are still a threat on the road. Also this game matches the packers 5th ranked offense against the Falcons 5th ranked offense but on the other side of the ball is Green Bay's 10th Ranked offense vs Atlanta's 16th ranked defense. Is see this defensive "deficit" as the edge which gives the Packers back to back playoff upsets. Take Green Bay on the money line and give up the 2 points.

Jan 16 1:00 pm EST Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears -10 (FOX)
Chicago wins this one but wonders if they can cover 10. The Bears have allowed the 5th fewest points in the league this year against a Seahawks offense that is 23rd in scoring. On the flip side Chicago only averaged 20.9 points per game against a Seattle defense that allowed a shameful 25.4 points per outing. To cover 10 the Bears will probably need reach the end zone at least three or more times. Take Seattle and the 10 points but don't expect to see them play again until pre-season.

Jan 16 4:30 pm EST New York Jets @ New England Patriots -9 (CBS)
This is a match up of the top scoring offense in the NFL (32.4 points/game) against a Jets defense that allowed 19 average per game. The NY Jets managed a respectable 22.9 points per game this year and will play against a Patriots defense that that was ranked 8th in points allowed at 19.6/game. This game will be the exception to the rule where offense wins football games and defense wins playoffs/championships. Look for New England to cover the 9 points as Seattle gets reminded why they only went 7 - 9 in the regular season as they face a team that is playing at a whole different level then they are currently capable of.
Polamalu gonna fuck Flacco up. :thumbsup:
Shut your mouth slut
