Divisional Playoff Weekend Odds

**Lou** · 01-09-2005, 10:04 PM

And I bet every one of you, except me, will pick Minnesota not only ATS but to win outright.

Now Minnesota had a nice win today, but they have a snowball's chance in hell of doing that again, on the road, against a far superior team than Green Bay.

My predictions:

Pixburgh 16, NY Jets 7 in a boring as hell game.

Atlanta 28, St. Louis 10 in a rout

Eagles 35, Vikings 17 in what will be a comfortable win for the Eagles

Patriots 24, Colts 23 in what should be a great game.

I'll take the Jets and 9 1/2. Last game was close until the 4th if I recall correctly. Pennington played poorly that game. But, PGH won and that's what counts.

I just can't see INDY beating NE for some reason. And, I'm talking straight up not betting wise.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see STL beat ATL.

And, Philly will have their hands full. Their players were rested TOO much down the stretch.

I bet you said the same thing about Carolina last year and Tampa Bay the year before. Don't be too surprised if the Rams and Vikings become the first 8-8 teams in history to make it to the NFC championship game. The NFC was THAT mediocre this year.

Those are your emotions talking.

You know what Carolina and Tampa were DIVISON WINNERS.

Minnesota is a team that was friggin' 8-8, went 3-7 in their last 10 games and defined backing into the playoffs.

No comparison. I didn't say that Tampa or Carolina had a "snowball's chance." I don't remember what I said, but I highly doubt I thought it was going to be a cakewalk. I expected the Eagles to win, sure. I knew last year Carolina wasn't gonna be easy...I was really hoping for St. Louis to bet them.

No way Minnesota wins that game...especially with Moss looking like a cripple...

They looked good today...

but other than Va's assessment of the Eagles D sucking (which is ludicrous)...

I KNOW the Eagles D is much better than Green Bays...and they won't let Burleson beat them...

The Eagles will win...

and I hope the Steelers bore you to death all the way to the trophy...

And I hope the Eagles beat the Vikes this year cause if the Rams win, they already know they can beat Philly.

**POJO_Risin** · 01-09-2005, 11:15 PM

St. Louis can beat Philly?

Jesus Christ bro...you have to be kidding me...

THEY BEAT SEATTLE YESTERDAY...NOT SOMEONE GOOD!

Without TO, their starters 3 weeks sedentary, limping into the playoffs w/ 2 consecutive losses (one of them to the Rams) and the psychological disadvantage of 3 NFC championship chokes in a row (one of them to the Rams)... I just think the Eagles are in a difficult situation.

Just as I mentioned in the 3rd post of this thread and just like you mentioned above. I agree I think their starters were rested TOO much down the stretch.

**POJO_Risin** · 01-10-2005, 12:21 AM

I don't think it will matter...

and without TO...this is still the team that went to the NFC championship 3 straight years against toughter teams...

I don't think laying an egg the past two weeks will help...but I think many are forgetting how shitty the NFC truly is...

and a limping Eagles team is better than the rest...by far...

I don't believe I ever used the terms "sucking"....

I believe I called their defense "shitty"....

And if you've referring to run defense, my friend, that is shitty....

I think Philly will win vs. the Vikes, I don't see the Vikes shocking them like they did vs. the Pack.....

Ummm...Yea...I guess if you like seeing a 245 back drag 2-3 linebackers for a 5 yard ride after the 1st hit boring...Along with a crushing defense that swarms better than anyone in the leauge boring, then I guess your right...

To me, in the Baltimore game, first drive of the second half, when Pitt from inside their 10, I beleive, opens with a pass, runs 11 straight run plays right down their fucking throats, and ends with a TD pass, in the process knocking almost 8 minutes off of the clock is about as an exiting brand of football as I could imagine...

...And totally demoralizing to the opponent
