I will continue to **** on Andy Reid for one reason and one reason only, the guy blew multiple games during the regular season with his horrific playcalling, and you want to know why the Eagles are doing good now, because the media and everyone in PHL was calling for Reid's head because of his unbalanced attack, I mean who the hell throws the ball 63 times against the Bengals, they had the worst run D in the NFL.....He tried to blow the season for the Eagles and luckily we fell into a playoff spot, but that doesn't mean I dont think the Eagles are good, I just thought Reid mismanages his players and makes some bad calls...He is finally being a man and going with a balanced attack, and he stopped playing LJ Smith and the offense is starting to fire a little bit better,and I can say that I have been very happy with how he has coached over the last couple weeks, we just cant afford another hiccup(ie WSH, Cin, Chic, Balt). I am one that has no problem with 5 though, the guy has carried the franchise for years... Kolb blows plain and simple, and I dont think he will EVER be an NFL QB, maybe the next Bobby Hoying.....but for this game I love how ESPN keeps on saying that Jacobs didnt play in the game at the Meadowlands, I guess it was someone else wearing 27 that had 10 carries for 52 yds and got knocked out of the game....but the Eagles D is playing out of their minds right now, they have depth on the front 4, a solid LB corps, and a very nice secondary...I really think ELI isnt nearly as good without Plax in the lineup, I mean that guy brings a different dimension to the game with his size, speed, and hands.....Westbrook is the guy to watch out for, he has his best games at the Meadowlands, dont see why its any different this week....Giants have lost 4 of their last 5 I beleive, and they squeaked by Carolina, I mean this team isnt exactly firing right now, their D has been exploited lately and if the Eagles have a balanced attack, I think the Eagles beat them....24-20 Birds....
The other game I like alot is Baltimore...Tennessee is another team that limped into the playoffs and now are expected to turn it on....pretty tough to turn it on when you have Kerry Collins going against the hottest D in the NFL right now...Flacco is prone to make mistakes, but I think Harbaugh will have him manage the game as best as possible, and try to win the battle of field position and give McClain/McGahee the bulk of the work to try and wear down a Tenn D that hasnt really played in 3 weeks.... but I think Ed Reed is the biggest playmaker on the field and he will make Tennessee pay, Baltimore has also won 4 of 5 at TEN....alot of the same players too....16-13 Ravens here....
I am with a lot of you guys on Pittsburgh as well, the Chargers got fortunate with their 1st riound matchup playing the team they match up with the best....but this week they are heading into the elements and facing a team with the nastiest LB corps in the NFL and a play making safety...IMO no LT, no way Sproles is gonna be able to carve through Pitt's D like he did vs Indys Swiss Cheese Run D....this one wont be pretty either, but Pitt's D will make Rivers turn it over and Pitt will do what they do all year play good enough D and get just enough O to win....17-6 Steelers
the last game is probably my weakest lean, but it would be too Car and Over...Arz shot their wad with the win over ATL, now Boldin is hurting and they have to face a power running team and a great WR, and a great coach as welll....Arz has shown it doesnt travel well when going East, even though they kept it within 4 the 1st time, I think Carolina gets pressure and they have no problems scoring at will....blowout here IMO.....37-20 Panthers...
