Tailgate Talk!

Well, if you read my last blog post, you would know that I predicted
the Cowboy's failure in December against the Giants. Ouch. Jerry Jones
will have to wait another year to see his team under-perform. With the
Giants and Saints winning in the NFC Wild Card Round and the Texans
and Broncos winning the AFC counterpart, we have some great playoff
football ahead.

After the Tebow magic we all witnessed on Sunday night, I don't see
the Broncos beating Tom Brady on his home turf. I pick the Pats in an
easy one. Now, the Texans and Ravens. I think the Texans' luck runs
out as well in a low, low scoring game against Flacco. I see the
Ravens winning a close one, 16-13. That would setup a Ravens-Patriots
match for the AFC title. With that being played at New England, I see
Tom Brady returning to another Super Bowl.

I see the Giants losing to Green Bay and the Saints squeaking by San
Francisco. I think the Saints are something special this year and
don't see the 49er's outlasting New Orleans. Eli Manning should start
strong against Rogers and the Packers, but I think the weather and
crowd will be a factor here, with the Packers winning by 10 points.
This would setup an epic match up between the Saints and Packers and I
think the Saints out-muscle Rogers to take the NFC Championship. I
know the Saints aren't great on the road, but I see them winning the
NFC Championship and ultimately, the Super Bowl.
