    I think the Steelers will beat the Ravens but I have no idea about the NFC since both of my favorites are out.

    My picks are based on absolutely nothing. That's just how I hope it ends up. If I were putting money on the games I would play it safe and pick Steelers and Eagles.

    I want the Superbowl to be the Eagles vs. the Steelers. Let Pennsylvania win and lose at the same time.

    I wouldn't have thought that the Cardinals would have rung up so many points against the Panthers either. Granted Delhomme helped them out a lot. I just have a feeling this Eagle run is going to end.

    I can understand giants fans being upset that they got hosed last week but I don't see the cardinals beating the eagles. Sure, it's a great story that they beat up two >15 ranked defenses and forced some turnovers from delhomme but the eagles have the best defense in the NFC. They have only allowed 7 touchdowns in the past 6 games and I don't expect them to give up some massive number of points.

    Remember, on Thanksgiving the Eagles beat Arizona without their best CB (Asante), and with a healthy Fitzgerald and Boldin. It is also important to note that the crappy carolina defense forced punts/turnovers on 5 of 'zona's 7 second half drives, and responded with 1 punt, a turnover on downs and 3 interceptions. That is called a gift and it won't happen again.

    Philadelphia 24

    Arizona 10



    Baltimore 17

    Pittsburgh 14

    The only thing that worries me about the Eagles game is the fact that Westbrook isn't super healthy by the sounds of it. However, Buckhalter has shown he can do it when he has to. Should be a fun game to watch either way. That being said...

    That thanksgiving game was meaningless, I don't think we learned anything.

    Both teams have changed since then, but we certainly learned a few things.

    Whoo football. I'm really looking forward to the game tonight, though I think I'm going to have to miss part of it.

    And because I love you guys the most, here's a link to an Amazon deal on 13 months of Xbox Live for only $30 and free shipping available http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Live-Month-Gold-Bonus/dp/B000B9RI00/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1232299230&sr=8-1

    Because Arizona didn't need to win at all and Philadelphia did, and although Arizona certainly wouldn't have minded winning they didn't really play with any sense of urgency and were frequently beaten as if they just weren't paying attention, which suggests that they weren't.

    There was really very little reason for them to not just mail in the second half of the season, and seeing as they are now hosting the NFC championship game that decision seems to have been validated.

    If the Cardinals steamroll this game it'll be a pretty big argument in favor of just taking the top six teams from each conference.

    Well

    When I saw the cardinals earlier in the season they looked like this

    Then when they were leading the division and everyone else was at 2-7, they played like a 2-7 team because the regular season games just didn't matter that much with seven games to go.

    I'm pretty sure that if they had been forced to actually win games instead of wanking off they would have had a much better record going into the playoffs and we would have gotten some better, more meaningful regular season games.
