Difficult as it was to believe about a month and a half ago, there really is only one thing standing between the Eagles and another chance at the Super Bowl. That thing is this year's darling of the NFC, the Saints. But, even though the Eagles

That was an odd one. Dallas was already covering the spread but if Romo goes in for the touchdown there, they would have hit the over. Of course, if Dallas had hit the fieldgoal and then the Seahawks came back with a field goal of their own, then they woul

If you used the above 100%-correct picks, and won a ton of money doing it, yer welcome, but please do not tell me about it. Thanks. Oh, and I had nothing to do with that Romo thing.

We'll, I'm .500 but I should be .750 - I can't believe Romo blew that hold. Who would have foreseen him choking worse than the Manning Bros.? The KC / Indy game was just bizarre too - what happened to the Chief's offense - did they miss the bus? If they

That's a quote from Mike Holmgren, coach of the Seattle Seahawks, at the unbelievable moment which sent the Cowboys scurrying for tee times at various golf clubs around the country. He then added, "just another entry for the journal." He was re

One hopes that Fisher ends up all right. He's a class act and you're right, much of the Titans' woes were not his fault. I've always liked Fisher from his days as defensive coordinator under Buddy Ryan. I've often wondered how things woul

I wonder if Jeff Fisher will be long in his job?

Fisher will be fine - the Titan's bad season wasn't his fault, he was given a shitty team by management (which is why the GM resigned). The Titans went on a spectacular late season run with a r

Nick Saban left Miami for the lucrative playing fields up in Alabama. Art Shell got the ax in Oakland, but Al Davis wants to find a position so he can remain a "valued member of the Raider family." I'm thinking, Al could make him a greeter at t

Pats - Jets: Pats win and cover whatever the spread is. Brady lives for this stuff. The Jets are young, exciting, and done in one.

The spread is 9.5, which is just insanely high to me, especially given that the over/under is 37.5. I don't se

The Chiefs are not going to do much this postseason... I can accept that. I think they have a puncher's chance against Indy, but can't see them getting past the Chargers in San Diego even if they do advance.

Having said that, last Sunday's unexpec

I am rooting for the Pats (my home team) or the Saints. I think Drew Brees would destroy his old team, the Chargers in the Super Bowl. The Patriots are a well balanced team. Despite losing Deion Branch, Willie McGuinest, David Givens and

The other good matchup would be a Bears vs. Ravens game - but if that did happen, is it possible for the Super Bowl to end in a nothing-nothing tie? Here are my picks (winners in all caps)

If the Bears and Ravens play, the Ravens would win 63-

Well, this wasn't Pittsburgh's year, but since I live in northern Delaware now I guess I can be happy that the Eagles are having a good year. My personal desire would be a San Diego vs. New Orleans Super Bowl. The teams seem to match up well and it shoul

The winner of the 2007 Vince Lombardy trophy will be the San Diego Chargers. They have the entire package: offense, defense, and special teams. Plus I think it's about time for Marty Schottenheimer to prove his critics wrong by keeping his head
