Well, after spending several days going back and forth with this pick, I have settled on the NY Giants upsetting the New England Patriots. Even though I, like most Americans, have a insatiable appetite to cheer for the underdog, my head is going to win out. I think that the New England Patriots will complete their historic season and defeat the New York Giants. Although I am surprised by a significant number of the “experts” picking the Patriots to win by a very large margin.

I believed that the Green Bay Packers were the best team in the NFC, but they ran into the buzz saw of the New York Giants. The Giants are playing great on the road and love being the underdog. I think that all of the pressure is on the New England Patriots and they have faced another controversial week with the new Spygate allegations hitting the newswire. Eli Manning has played mistake free and the running game is clicking on all cylinders. Add the surprising play of the Giants secondary and Burress playing lights out football, I believe that this could be one of the better Super Bowls in recent memory. I won’t try to predict a score, but I feel like a 3-4 point win game is about right.

Byes: None.
Last Week: 1-1
Regular Season: 167-89 (.652)
Playoffs: 7-3

I’ve had a blast with my Nostradamus picks. I think I had a pretty decent season for my first time around. Unfortunately, this is the end of another great NFL season. A time of the year that no football fan enjoys. (Thank god for the NFL Network.)

Not even Peyton Manning’s Pep Talk can help you out.

These two games have so many historical similarities. Last year, San Diego was the team to beat, but they lost. The previous two seasons had teams to beat, the Steelers and Colts. They each won the Super Bowl a year later. Is it time for the Chargers?The Giants are attempting to become the second team to win three road games in order to reach the Super Bowl. The first team, the Steelers a couple of years ago.

Also, if Favre can get by the Giants, he will no doubt be a big underdog against a possible matchup against the Patriots. Just like John Elway’s Denver Broncos were a big dog against Brett Favre’s Packers.

The Jags game plan for trying to match the Patriots score for score and hope for the last possession proved to be a horrible plan. The Chargers will have to put pressure on Brady and get at least 3 turnovers to have a chance. The Colts could have easily blown out the Charger had they not shot themselves in the foot with the turnovers.

Chargers vs. Patriots
Pick:Patriots

Eli Manning has played very poised over the past month, but weather will be a factor. He has yet to play well in inclement weather. I believe that the Packers are the most complete team left in the playoffs. Even more complete than the Patriots.

Blowout or upset. That will probably summarize the Jags-NE game. One thing is certain, if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, this will be the best season ever for a team, by far. They finished the regular season undefeated facing a difficult schedule and will have to played the Hot Jags, probably the Colts again and the best of the NFC. Wow!

Congrats to the Pats! A historical season, but they still have to win the Super Bowl to complete the journey.

Maybe if the Lions complete their collapse, we can trade draft picks for a miracle. With Kevin Jones and Roy Williams already planning their exodus, I have no idea when we will get to being a respectable team. This was supposed to be the year. It started off very nice, but we all know where it has gone.

Oh well for the big Steelers upset of the Patriots. I am now a believer. 16-0 is oh so nice, but even still they are not dominate enough to be deemed the best team of all time.

Broncos vs. Texans
Pick:Texans

Bengals vs. 49ers

Another close one for the Patriots. I think the Steelers will be able to get the job done this week.

The Eagles were oh so close. If nothing else, they laid a blueprint to takedown the Patriots. Unfortunately, for the rest of the league, there doesn’t appear to be another team on their schedule that can match the Eagles’ ability to pass rush, cover and score. Has the ‘08 schedule been released? LOL. I do think(hope) they will lose this season.

The Lions high powered offense has manage to sputter the past couple of weeks. You can imagine how gitty I am to see them play against one of the best defenses in the league. So you can’t argue with Mike Martz being on the hot seat as covered by Fanhouse.
