Lets break it down. Colts have the worst rush defense in the leauge allowing 173 yards/game. The Chiefs have the incredible Larry Johnson, the man with 416 carries in the season to break the record of the previous 412 and ended second in rushing yards. Most people see upset taking place in Indianapolis. I think not. The answer: Peyton Manning. Let's not forget what took place two years ago in the playoffs when Peyton and the goons visited then healthy Priest Holmes at Arrowhead. It was a shootout till the end with the Indy D coming up HUGE. Priest broke loose when it was tied late in the game, he gained already 65 yards on the run but was leveled but a great hit by Mike Doss which caused a fumble which Indy recovered. Leading to Mannings game winning drive to seal the game. This is why I have Colts winning 31-14.
This game I'm really excited about. The Eagles going against the G Men. Philly rallying behind former CFL start Jeff Garcia to plow into the playoffs and form a winning streak gaining tremendous momentum into the playoffs. While the Giants have had problems on/off the field, they seemed focused last game when they realized their key to winning: Give Tiki the ball every play. History has proven Superbowl Champions tend to go on a winning streak at the end of the season to win the Lombardi Trophy. I feel its not only Garcia getting the job done, but it's Dawkins defense that is playing the major role. This Philly team looked demoralized when they lost their franchise QB early on, but now their eyes seem to have lit up as they seem to be playing with a new sort of passion, reminding me of the previous Superbowl team Carolina Panthers. Eli will struggle, that is almost guranteed. I see him throwing an INT early and struggling from then on. He isn't a QB that dosen't let turnovers bother him, in fact he goes worse and worse in the course of the game after he has a turnover. I see the Eagles taking this in a good one: 27-24.
I love the matchup of the Jets going to Foxborough to play the Patriots. I'm impressed the way Chad 'Comeback Player of the Year' Pennington has played throughout the season and I cant wait to see what he does in the playoffs. The Patriots under their general, Sir Tom Brady, are feared in the playoffs by any opponent. But this is a different New England team. They are without their defensive leader, Rodney Harrison and they lost Vinateri to the free agency in the offseason. Eventhough the Pats got homefield, I see the J-E-T JETS! JETS! JETS! taking this one in a defensive match: 21-10.
Last but not least, we have the Cowboys heading to Seattle in what is to be a showdown. TO's playoff debut, what a scene. With his fingers still taped, we'll see how he fairs in trying to palm catch more balls, expect some dropped passes as usual. But, Tony Romo must play as a pro bowler, not a first year QB. He's been given the spotlight, he mustn't shy away but rather step up and lead his team to victory. Matt and Shaun are back and firing and they better hope they produce or they will be overshadowed. Seattle's D must come up huge in this game meaning no dropped INTs and converging on the ball carrier. I see the team with the best defense taking this one. In this case Dallas: 27-17.
Well thats all fools. Stay tuned for the games this weekend and for our future playoff previews.
Good Night and God Bless.
