NFL Week 18

dallas-seattle has potential to be the best game of the first round, followed closely by kc-indy imo... i just think the pats-jets games have been ugly slugfests this year (a lot of jets games have been ugly slugfests, haven't they?) and nothing the jints do is pretty...

this should be a good lead in for next week which i expect to the be the best week of football all year.

hey guys, what an interesting season. the nfl never fails to disappoint with teams and players coming out of nowhere.

anyway, bring on the playoffs!
 
First, I have to share this:

Patriots v. Jets: While Bellicheck rarely loses twice in a row to the same team, Mangina really has his players beleiving in him. This will be a great game. Jets win a close game.

Colts v. Chefs: Great googly-moogly the Chefs made the playoffs (for tr68gt). Obviously, the Chefs can do some damage running, but it's time for the Colts to wake up. If the Colts can jump out to an early lead, they'll render LJ moot. The Colts take this one and get themselves a little more warmed up for the bigger games.

Eagles v. Giants: Eagles have the Giants number. Yeah, I know that the Giants comeback early in the year was great, but that was early-season Manning, as opposed to late-season Manning. If Shockey plays, the Eagles definitely win, if Shockey sits, the Giants have a chance. Eagles win it.

Seahawks v. Cowboys: The Cowboys have been disappointing. Seahawks take it. :(

You are my hero, i could never pick my team to loose even though deep down i would know they would. I am sorry that cowgirls chose to suck at this point of year. :) I could make some drug related joke now, but i won't. :)
 
Man. I don't want to pick against the Cowboys. Do I have the faith that the Cowboys have the talent to win? Definitely. The Cowboys have the talent to compete with any team in the league. Perhaps only the Chargers have flat out more talent. But the Cowboys don't have cohesion. Their defense is not playing disciplined. I wonder if Marcus Spears is a bust or not. Had the Cowboys beat the Lions 38-10 like they were supposed to, I'd feel differently. Cowboys fan, die-hard. I'll root for them every step of the way, but I just don't trust them right now.

The video was the last 3 minutes of the Boise St./Oklahoma game. That, was great football.
