Football Craze Weekend

G'day Everyone.

If you gotten over your sickness about the Alabama Tides that won the BCS National Championship (still many people calling for true college play-off systems) over the Texas Longhorns, then it's time to cheer for the real NFL play-off system that starts TODAY!
You can keep track of what's happening at : http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=POST#Week

Today at 4:30pm on NBC, The NY Jets will fly into attack formation against the Cincinnati Bengals. Most likely the Jets will be doing bombing runs and stratification against the Bengals. The Bengals will be backed into a corner. Expect them to roar, claw, and bite their way against the NY Jets. But my pick is on the NY Jets to win.

Tonight: 8:00 pm on NBC, a very bad rematch is going to happen. My sources tell me that Dallas Cowboys wish they hadn't riled up the Philadelphia Eagles this week. Oh, they did so! Police and ambulances will be standing by outside the Dallas Cowboys stadium tonight. The Eagles are so angry, they got some sharp talons to claw those cowboys in a very deadly way. The Cowboys should consider to play some clean and honest mid-west football if they want to keep their fans. But they should expect to be banged up badly. If the Cowboys manage to win this blood fest, they might not have the energy to get past the 2nd round. I expect the Eagles to attack relentlessly and often. Show no let up until the end of 4th quarter. My pick is Eagles.

Sunday: 1pm on CBS, another flock of birds descends in the state of New England. The Baltimore Ravens visit the New England Patriots. The Ravens have been cawing all week of how they stole the play-off spot from Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh has already vowed to STOMP those ravens next season. But Pittsburgh is already siding with the New England Patriots. The Ravens may already be in trouble this time. WHY?
#1 The Patriots may over come the loss of a player and be very motivated to win the game.
#2 The Patriots play a better game when it comes to heavy snow and bitter cold. This weekend is going to be EXTREME COLD! So unless those birds have thick feathers, they better be prepared to flee the cannons (the running game) and guns (air passing) of the Patriots. My pick: The New England Patriots. (even though I don't like them).

Sunday: 4:40pm on Fox, there's another set of birds that are waiting for some cheese heads to MELT in the Arizona desert heat (if there is any). The Green Bay Packers land into the Arizona Cardinals area for this game. Packers have only one mission to do: Stop the Cardinals right here and now! The means, they'll throw everything they got at those pesky red birds. Even the kitchen sink! The Birds, who were pesky last year, had better be sharp. Because if not, they could find themselves to be de-feathered before halftime! My Pick: Packers to win.

So we'll see who makes these play-off games this weekend. Next week: The division rounds.

Semper FI.
