well it is the second week of teh NFL Playoffs and we have 4 really good games to look forward to. In the AFC we have Titans versus Ravens and Steelers versus Chargers and in the NFC we have Giants versus Eagles and Panthers versus Cardinals. So i’ll go through each game and give you my predictions.
Starting off in the NFC
Eagles at Giants
This is a nightmare game for the Giants since they are up against a team that knows them well and a team that they know can beat them. I really fancy the Eagles to win this one not really sure since I still think that they aren’t really that good but something about the Eagles and McNabb’s play the last two weeks have me excited about them. The Giants might be rusty after having a week off and plus they will be playing a top draw defence in Philly. So my prediction is Eagles to beat the Giants by 6 points.
Cardinals at Panthers
I was watching NFL Total Access the other day and I heard crazy talk from Rod Woodson that the Cardinals will win this game if it turns into a shot out. Not sure where this bit of wisdom has come from but personally I think the Cardinals ahve no chance of winning here. They are a terrible road team and the Panthers are a great home team. The Panthers can run the ball all day and the Cards can’t stop the run. Prediction is Panthers to win by 14 or more.
Right onto the AFC
Chargers at Steelers
This is the second most interesting game of the weekend, Ravens @ Titans is number 1 in my book. This is also the second game that I think the visiting team will win. These two teams are much more closer than people think and the Chargers have the better QB and offence line which in the end will win them the game. Don’t look for many points in this game but I just have feeling San Diego will win. Prediction is Chargers by 2 points.
Ravens at Titans
Like the Giants I think the Titans would have preferred to play any of the other 2 teams left than face the Ravens. This is a team that is playing really well, looking after the ball and playing killer defence. The are also my Superbowl prediction at the start of the playoffs so I have to stick with them. The Titans have done well this year but I like the Ravens defence to stop the running game and to force Collins to beat them. Something I don’t think he is capable of doing. if this does happen look for Rolle and Reed to be searching for more picks. Prediction: Ravens by 3.
If my predictions are right then we’ll have the Chargers hosting the Ravens for the right to represent the AFC and the Panthers hosting the Eagles to represent the NFC. So my Superbowl prediction is Panthers versus Baltimore.
