Sat 6 Jan 2007
This is the best weekend the NFL has. Wild Card weekend. Well, maybe I’ll get disagreement from the diehards who love the title games. And those are great. But you’ll never get more football than these next two weeks. So let’s get to my picks:
Saturday
Colts over Chiefs- Larry Johnson will destroy the Colts D to the tune of 200+ yards and three touchdowns. It won’t matter because Peyton Manning won’t allow his team to lose at The RCA Dome. Trailing by four, he hooks up with Marvin Harrison late to win it 31-28.
Cowboys over Seahawks- This is just gut instinct. Both these teams have struggled down the stretch. I just like Dallas in this one for some reason by a field goal.
Sunday
Pats over Jets- Grudge Match III will be interesting. Can Eric Mangini’s overachieving Gang Green get the best of Bill Bellichick’s Patriots twice up in Foxboro. It will be tight but look for Tom Brady to make enough plays late as the Pats advance 20-14.
Eagles over Giants- If you contain Tiki Barber, you force Eli Manning to beat you. He hasn’t proven he can. Look for Andy Reid to devise a game plan forcing the third-year erratic QB to make plays. And with Big Blue’s D struggling to stop anyone on the ground or on 3rd down, it could be a long day. We like the Eagles to advance 28-20 over Big Blue.
