[Cardsmc25]

Cardinals Vs. Saints
Saints 24-17
I think the Saints get up early. Warner will have a little tougher day.

Ravens Vs. Colts
Ravens 21-17
Ravens run game takes over late. They score twice in the second half to take the lead.

Cowboys Vs. Vikings
Vikings 17-14
Ryan Longwell kicks a game winner in the closing seconds of the game. Each QB has an interception, Peterson scores once.

Jets Vs. Chargers
Chargers 31-14
This game is a blow out. Jets score once in each half, Rivers throws for 3 scores (two of which are to Gates) and 285 yards.

Saints/Cards: Saints. I think they'll play better defense than we did and I think Arizona will miss Anquan more than they did against us. Not to mention people have spent a month doubting New Orleans. I think it's fueled their fire.

Cowboys/Vikings: I don't effing know. Literally. Flip a coin. Both are good on both sides of the ball, I have no idea. Almost surely the closest game this weekend. If pressed i'll take Minnesota because they have better wide receivers.

Colts/Ravens: Ravens. They're going to play tough D, Ray Rice will run like a wild man, I think they pull the upset.

Jets/Chargers: Chargers. More complete team.

 

[Ted's Zombie Army]

Saints over the Cardinals: The Saints are tanned, rested and ready. The Cards have to be drained somewhat after that scoring binge last weekend.

Colts over the Ravens: Manning will pick that defense apart.

Vikings over the Cowboys: I'm still not convinced that Romo can get his team to the dance. Favre seems to be on a mission, but it will be a close game.

Chargers over the Jets: Same as NO, the Chargers will benefit from the week of rest and roll over the Jets.

When I heard Favre say, "I'd be surprised if I weren't here talking with you guys next week ...", I couldn't help but read into his words a little bit.

I think Brett knows all too well what Romo and the 'Boyz will be in for in terms of atmosphere on Sunday, and I think he is loving every minute of the anticipation.

The Cowboys are suddenly the "best" team in the NFL, yet they've still got a QB that can be seriously rattled with pressure and a head coach that is terrible in the playoffs. Old Jerry Jones is not going to be a happy camper by Sunday afternoon.

Didn't you hear? Ware is the second comming of Reggie White. He should have 8 sacks this game according to what I've read. In fact, their D makes the 85 Bears look like a high screwl team. The viks shouldn't even show up on Sunday according to the "experts". What a joke.

It's funny how the Viking pass rush is left out of the conversation totaly.

At first, I'll admit that I bought into the Cowboys hype a little bit. Don't get me wrong - they're darned solid, but they'll have too much to overcome on Sunday.

Minnesota averages: 424 net yards in the dome, while giving up 250 yards on defense. They score an average of 33 points in the dome and give up an average of 16.

Compare and contrast that with Dallas which averages: 396 yards on the road, while giving up 330 yards on defense. They score an average of 20 points on the road and give up an average of 19.

I believe what you could see from Dallas on offense is a lot of yardage, but not a lot of points to show for it. The key for Minnesota is to start out strong on offense in the 1st quarter and steadily apply the pressure on defense until the result is no longer in doubt.

I'm dying to see this game!!!

I will only be able t see part of the 4th qtr because of frickn work. I'm going to have to follow the game by drive chart. Thats going to be hell.

Sounded like your referring to the Vikings?

So far Burp's post season record, if I'm correct would be: 12 W 10 L.
Maybe I can be impressed by the number of appearences, but just 2 wins over the losses doesn't seem that great to me.

Yes I'm being biased but he does tend to lose in the playoffs which is the norm and why I expect the Viqueens to lose.

 

[The PowerOfCheese]

I hope that the cowpies pull it off. I hate the queens. :viksux:

 

[The PowerOfCheese]

As far as predictions go, I think:
Cowboys
Saints
Colts
Chargers

Hey man, and so do I.

And if the Cows don't do it don't worry. After seeing what the Saints did to the team that beat the Queens, I'm confident that the Queens will lose in NO if that happens.

 

[Green_Bay_Packers]

Woooo I am 2 for 2 lets hope I can make it 4 for 4 tonight
