NFL Wild Card Round – Bring on Philly

2008 NFC North Division ChampsIt seems like everybody (including locally) is picking your NFC North Division Champs to fold this weekend.  Let’s not forget that the Eagles are the same offense that put up 3 points against Washington the previous week!  Just because they simply manhandled the Simpson-handler and his offense last week doesn’t mean they’re back.  When Philly goes away from the run their offense doesn’t function well and last I checked our beloved purple are the best team in the NFL at stopping the run.  Also…Williams Wall is back at full strength.  Buckhalter and Westbrook are going to be non-factors inside the tackles. The Vikings are 6-2 at home this season.  The Dome field advantage will be as loud as ever and we’re off to pummel the Carolina Panthers for the second time this season next week.

How can you not be exited about this team’s chances at making a Super Bowl run?!  You’ve got the most explosive player in the game in the backfield, an improving quarterback under center, a wide-out who stretches the field and a tight end in the middle of the field who births baby elephants(I think I see a trunk!).  The spike in publicity has led to more production for Visante since Peter Jackson cast his dick as the Empire State building in the remake of King Kong.   I see this game as a lock.  Final score:  Vikings 24 Eagles 17

On a side note:  If the game is blacked out due to poor ticket sales (11,000 to go at this time) then all of the negativity in this market needs to turn from Mustache #1 to the fan base.    Ante up and support your team!

My Wild Card Weekend Predictions:

Atlanta over Arizona

We saw Arizona implode first hand again our beloved Purple.  Warner wife’s will undoubtedbly get the flat top back play in playoff form but this team is done.  Atlanta’s running game will simply dominate this gone.

Indy over San Diego

Much like sideline reporters, NBA big men, and porn stars, running backs over 30 lose it and LT has proven it this year.  It’s simple, if Indy has Bob Sanders and Peyton they’re a threat to lose the AFC Championship EVERY season.

Ravens over Miami

Ray Lewis has beat the shit out of so many teams the last few years he’s now medically classified as a laxative.
