Sir Michael – granted the contests between these two are not pretty – they’re not supposed to be. They are nasty, ugly games, but from what corner of the parallel universe in which you hang your silly hat did you come up with that one?

“No one will take the Falcons seriously until they win a playoff game.”

I’ll agree with that, although it is pretty much along the lines of “the sun came up in the east today!!”

I was going to commend you for picking the Lions to lose, because they probably will.

Then I saw you picked the Packers to lose. Against a Rookie QB. On MNF.

Funny stuff.

They’ve won 6 straight at home and they’re 30-14 at home under Whisenhunt, counting the playoffs.

Both teams have good defenses, and while the Eagles have a talented offense, they don’t always produce results. Not to mention the fact that they beat the Eagles in Philadelphia last year, so the Cards have to be confident that they can win this one.

Dude, I respect your team, but come on. The Eagles defense is *vastly* improved from last year. We have a ridiculous amount of offensive weapons, and the best d-line in the league. By contrast, your 0-line is terrible and Kolb has no weapons other than Fitz.

Anything can happen, but betting the Cards on this one is not exactly smart money.

Saints 56
Chiefs 14

1) They both played the Titans, and look at the difference in scores. Yes the Giants have a better offense (probably) but Carolina (at this point) has a better defense.

2) They held drew Brees and the Saints to 27pts, which is pretty good.

So, if the Giants were healthy, I’d pick them hands down in a close game, but right now they do not look healthy.

I don’t understand your thought here when u say the Niners have no Offense when they are averaging 30 pts a game #2 rushing team and the best set of skilled players by position next to GB(who they beat), NE and New Orleans….

PS… The Niners have the best defense in the league and have allowed only 1 100 yard rusher in 3 years(Marshawn Lynch).

Alex Smith is 16-4 in his last 20 starts and ranked #2 in Qbr rating and where is Ponder…..

You have no basis for your comments. Niners win 34-13

I might be an optimist but…
Raiders are 0-2 but longsnapper ruined the San Diego game and they had the lead at Miami until the short week, heat, long flight caught up to them…

dude, stop making excuses. The Fins have beaten the Raiders like 7 of the past 8. And the past 3 were blowouts. Just a reality check.

Umm havent the patriots only lost ONCE in the history of these two teams playing?

I’ll be the next (but not last) person to state that the rationale behind the Patriots/Ravens prediction is quite possibly the best example of not thinking before typing this site has seen.

And it’s not as if that category has any shortage of competitors.

Even if you want to ignore the most recent game that the Patriots won, this statement makes no sense.

Is “having their number” the same as that blueprint all those teams had for beating the 2007 Patriots?

Raiders are 0-2 but longsnapper ruined the San Diego game and they had the lead at Miami until the short week, heat, long flight caught up to them…Pittsburgh is banged up and must go coast to coast – one of those that’s why they play the game:

Raiders 24 Steelers 17

Careful how you use the word “handily” because the Patriots should have beaten the Cardinals “handily”

Just saying….

AP is 100%. 49′s have no offense. At the metrodome. Ponder > Smith

Vikes – 38
49′ers – 17

Dolphins 20
Jets 17

Carson Palmer is definitely better than Sanchez and Tebow, even on a short week. It’ll be a good game for sure and as a dolphins fan I’m fine with loosing the rest of the game sin a season as long as they beat the Jets twice. (If they beat the Bills twice its an added bonus)

The formatting on this page drives me crazy every week. Would it kill you guys to take 1 minute to indent some stuff to make this darn page easier to read?
