ok, well...

3 out of 4 ain't bad, but I am not sure what happened with the Giants... I thought it would have at least been close, they just really did not show up for the game... its sad really, all i hope is that eli is very disappointed with this performance and will strive for a better season next year... i am also disappointed in the apparant lack of wanting to play by burress... he didnt run hard all game... the player i feel the worst for is strahan... i mean he did everyhting he could which could possibly (although not probable) could have been his last game... but hey, there are some positives, they need a whole new secondary and dom capers is now available, they could sure use his defensive genius...

now on to this week... I will reiterate again that I absolutely hate the Patriots... I loath them, theres not a player on that team that I like... however, I find it hard to pick against them this weekend... I mean the broncos played good football this season, but we are talking abaout jake plummer here and the Patriots are playing better than any of us want them to be playing... it could be tight, but the Patriots will prevail... As for the Pitt-Indy game, i know everyone is going to pick Indy aand thats exactly why i will pick against them... heres the one thing the steelers have going for them, Indy's starters have essentially been offf for 3 weeks and will be rusty in regards to game speed and play.... not thats its impossible for the colts to blow out the steelers, but if they come out rusty and pitt can jump out to a lead, watch out... because they play physical and will run the ball... if indy comes out ready to play, i mean for 2 quarters john kitna looked like peyton manning, so imagine what peyton can look like... we will have to see... if they watch the tape of the san diego game and get pressure on peyton this game can be a battle... i will go against all convntional wisdom and pick pitt...


In the NFC we will see some battles... CHicago ahs the best D but carolina has the 3rd best... i know chicago beat up the paanthers in the season, but the panthers got momentum, closing the season strong and taking all the wind out of new york last weekend... the bears offense is terrible, and although the giants o wasnt great ending the season they did have arguably the best running back in the game... if the panthers could shut out the giants, it is quite conceivable that it will happen to the bears, whose offense is horrendous... we all know this game will be a defesnive struggle, but if they can establish foster with a few big runs early, look for smith to light up the secondary.... in seattle i cannot say that washington stands a chance... they have all the momentum coming in, sure, but their offense is pretty week, and i think that seattle's offense is just too powerful for the redskins d... they might have some big plays, but it wont be enough... seattle will win this game...

well thats that, pitt, new england, carolina and seattle... you heard it here first....
