Divisional Playoff Predictions (Best Weekend in Sports)

Best Weekend in Sports (Pt. 2)
Jan. 7, 2009

As I was saying, the NFL Divisional Playoffs provide the best weekend in sports. Every year I anticipate it, and every year the league delivers. 2008-09 looks to be no exception.

By the end of the weekend, even the hungriest NFL appetite will be sated.

PHILADELPHIA at NY GIANTS
Sunday, Jan. 11, 1:00 pm EST

Ah, yes. The Meadowlands. January. The NFC East.

If you blur your eyes a little, you can almost see the irascible Buddy Ryan leading the likes of Ron Jaworski, Wilbert Montgomery, Reggie White, Randall Cunningham, Seth Joyner and a host of Eagles icons onto the windswept Meadowlands carpet to do battle with Big Tuna, Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Mark Bavaro, Leonard Marshall and a host of other names that start to roll of the tongue if you let them.

That the names this Sunday are Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Brian Dawkins, facing off against Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck, matters not. For those of us who have followed NFC East football for any length of time, this one is old school, classic Gang Green versus Big Blue. A throwback. A streetfight.

And I've been anticipating this game for weeks now. If there is any team that can stop the Giants, it's the Eagles. And if there is one team I hate as much as Dallas it's the Giants.

I say Westbrook has a huge game 100+ yards. Also looking for Dawkins and co. to disrupt Elis plans of attack

Look for Asante Samuel to be this weeks Ed Reed

^^ You might want to check the fine print of your Redskins fan card.

After Dallas, Philly is supposed to be the most hated team in the division.

Yeah but still, I'd rather be surrounded by Giants fans than Eagles fans.

I was really close with my Cardinals prediction...rooting for them now with the Titans out. That Titans-Ravens game was great, really got to admire the Ravens organization for what they've accomplished

Wow. There probably aren't too many people in the entire country (outside of Arizona, anyway) who predicted a Cardinal's blowout, especially within one point of the exact score. Well done sir. The flux capacitor uses 1.21 jigawatts of electricity, but you already knew that.

I also agree with your Pitt and NYG predictions.
