Snow is Coming, Get Snacks!

Can't be snowed in without enough snacks for a weekend of football. The divisional round is upon us with some great games. Most would agree that the Panthers-Cardinals match up is the only one where the winner is pretty much a given. Then again, that's why they indeed play the games.

The Giants and the Eagles battle for the 3rd time this season in Sunday's NFC East showdown. We're confidently nervous or is it nervously confident? Either way, Big Blue will have all its forces at the ready, most notably Brandon Jacobs. And while Jacobs and others may not be 100%, they are ready to go.

The field could be slick based on the snow and/or freezing rain moving into the area tomorrow morning and lasting into Sunday. Plus ya never know with the winds in the Meadowlands. Eagles kicker David Akers, one of the best, is only 11-22 in FG attempts at Giants Stadium.

Tough pick here, we were thinking 23-20 Giants, but that would mean they wouldn't cover the 4 point spread. So we will go Giants -4 Prediction: Giants 24-19


Panthers -9.5 vs. Cardinals
Even with a quick strike offense, we don't see the Cardinals putting up much of a fight in this game. The Panthers are an experienced team with a devastating running game.
Prediction: Panthers 31 Cardinals 13

Ravens -3 at Titans
The Ravens are playing very good football right now and even though the Titans had a fantastic season, we still don't totally trust Kerry Collins. Especially against the Ravens. This one comes down to the kickers, both of which are good, with Matt Stover kicking the game winning FG late in the 4th.
Prediction: Ravens 16 Titans 13



Steelers -6 vs. Chargers
No Ladainian Tomlinson will put extra pressure on Darren Sproles. Chargers will have to adapt to frigid conditions. Steelers have too many pluses and experience to lose this one, setting up a black and blue match up with the Ravens in the AFC title game.
Prediction: Steelers 27 Chargers 16

Playoffs to date: 2-2
