1. No, but I think they are going to squeak past a dysfunctional Giants team.
I see a defensive matchup with a few big plays that might even run up a decent score. The Eagles are a weak team with extreme talent, so they get smothered for most of the game but then break a long play and score when they have to. The Giants were a better team at the start of the year, but their coaches aren't very sophisticated and their schemes have been figured out, so they are starting to struggle. They lost three of their last four games, to Minnesota, the Cowboys, and the Eagles--all of whom are exactly that type of big play team, with a couple of super-talents who can ruin the best plans by simply breaking through them.

So I'm thinking Eagles, in a 24 - 13 type of game.

Just to clarify, I've been wrong on every single playoff game so far, and on every single bowl game I've predicted. So if I'm right, it will be the first time.

3. I think you are going to see a hard hitting hard faught game
between two very good teams. I think the score is going to be close, less than a touch down. Who wins will be the one that gets the good/bad call, the blown play or the lucky play last.

7. Just got done hearing the ESPN commentators picks.
All five are going with Philly for the win.

*I* think it will be very close. I wouldn't put any money on this game - because as good as the Eagles have been playing, Donovan is notorious for his last-minute choking. As a matter of fact, a close friend told me the other day that he hopes the Eagles lose, just so that we can get rid of Donovan. :D

Do I think Philly can do this? Of course. But I also think NY can. This is gonna be a battle.

10. I'm still pissed at DeSean.
A rookie a little too big for his britches, spiking the ball before he ever got into the fucking endzone.

And he did this IN DALLAS. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. Ugh.

I hope that that little event humbled him a bit, or else we're watching another T.O. ego in the making. :scared:

13. Not even close. STILL pissed? 75 catches and a thousand yards later.
He's the only flash-talent we have at wide out.
Give him a break, I find this kid "refreshing":yourock:
