Carolinas D isnt all that great and Arizona stopped the 2nd Best Rushing Offense in the league last week against Atlanta. I dont think their chances are all that bad.

Steelers, Ravens, Eagles, Panthers.

Baltimore at Tennessee: Two very strong defenses and two great running games. This is one of those games where coaching, special teams, and turnovers will be greatly magnified. I hear a lot of experts picking the Ravens, and because of their momentum and the way they play the run (only 58 first downs allowed on the ground this season), I'm almost with them. But here, I've gotta go with the home team and the veteran QB. Titans 20, Ravens 17.

Arizona at Carolina: Which Cardinal team shows up... the one that lost by a combined score of 82-21 in Weeks 15 and 16, or the one that played great defense and established the run on the road in Atlanta? This game could be really ugly or really interesting. Not only am I rooting for the Cardinals, I also believe Warner and Edge will come through, I believe Boldin will outsmith Smith, I believe Fitz will be Fitz, and I believe the Cardinal defense will continue to shake things up at the line of scrimmage. I know Arizona will be more than ready, but there's a decent chance Carolina won't be ready enough. This will be an upset with Warner coming up big late in the game. Cardinals 38, Panthers 34.

Philadelphia at New York: Beating a kinda good team last week doesn't make me believe that Philadelphia is anything more than a kinda good team themselves. Philadelphia is not that good, and I have no clue how they've managed to rank 6th in points scored and 4th in points allowed. What it all boils down to is this: Can Philadelphia stop Jacobs and Ward? The answer: No. The weather is supposed to be cold and windy. Expect a very heavy dose of Brandon Jacobs. New York will have their way. Giants 27, Eagles 13.

San Diego at Pittsburgh: How is this game being played in January? I guess because the Chargers just won 5 straight combined with a massive Denver collapse and a Colt team looking pedestrian. I do like the matchup of the best defense in football against the second highest scoring offense in football, but the Steelers are just too good to lose that one. Sproles won't have a repeat of last week. Rivers will be tested. All the Steelers need to do to win is put up some points. Luckily for them, they're facing the NFL's worst past defense. I see a big day for Big Ben and Hines Ward at Heinz field. Steelers 28, Chargers 17.

Baltimore at Tennessee: I would love to be able to watch this game. Ravens 13 - 9.

Arizona at Carolina: I'd love to be able to pick the Cardinals. Don't see it happening. Panthers 28 - 17.

Philadelphia at New York: I'd love to see Brandon Jacobs shoot himself (not fatally of course) before this game. I've got to go homer though, Eagles 27 - 21.

San Diego at Pittsburgh: I'd love to live in San Diego, THEN-maybe-I could pick the Chargers. Steelers 21 - 18.

OK, what I got:

Cardinals at Carolina. Rememeber when the Cardinals were the joke team of the NFC East? They moved to a new division and still suck. Carolina by 7.

Baltimore at Tennessee. Wow this is a tuff one. I am taking the Titans over Baltimore though. The Ravens have put up a great fight, but I did watch the Giants walk all over them. If you can establish the pass, bye bye Ravens. T has a great run and pass plus big D that should win the game, so Tenn by 3.

Philly at NY. Oh come on. All I hear is that Philly is on the move. NY is going to crush Philly. NY is at 100% strength with everyone playing minus Burris. Do you miss him"? I dont, but NY wants to win and will do so w/o a problem. NY by 10.

Steelers vs. Chargers. Going with Steelers because LT aint gonna play. Steelers by 7.

[bucher34]

Arizona @ Carolina: DeAngelo runs all over them. Warner keeps it close, but Carolina too much for them. Carolina 27, Arizona 21

Baltimore @ Tennessee: Tennessee has fallen back to earth lately and I see Baltimore's D giving them fits. Baltimore 20, Tennessee 10

Philly @ NY Giants: The Giants are the defending champs. They aren't going to give this one away, ESPECIALLY to a HATED division rival. Giants win big. NY Giants 27, Philly 14.

San Diego @ Pittsburgh: It all depends on Big Ben. If he's good to go feeling fully healthy then San Diego better look out, but if not - which I don't think he will be - then Pittsburgh better watch out. San Diego 24, Pittsburgh 16.

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Carolina, New York, Baltimore, Pittsburgh.

I could see any of the games going either way though. Should be a great weekend of playoff football.

[koolzach1]

Baltimore Ravens (12-5) at Tennessee Titans (13-3): Titans - 21, Ravens - 17.

Arizona Cardinals (10-7) at Carolina Panthers (12-4): Cardinals - 24, Panthers - 34

Philadelphia Eagles (10-6-1) at New York Giants (12-4): Eagles - 17, Giants - 24

San Diego Chargers (9-8) at Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4): Chargers - 20, Steelers - 21

Good first half for the Titans. They have to wish they had scored more than 7 though.

The Turnovers are killer

[filihok]

300 yards to 100 and it's 7 - 7. Titans can't be happy
