As an attempt to pass the agonizingly slow time, who do you predict will will this week and why? These are my 'pundit predictions" which are probably based more on fantasy than fact (except for my Pats prediction, of course!):
1. Pats vs. Jets - Pats. Pats come out with their determined, WE ARE NOT LOSING THIS GAME, playoff attitude and pretty much control the game from start to finish. Offense goes on several long drives mixing in the pass and their great running game while the defense, with the return of Wilfork in the middle, is able to stifle the Jets offense.
2. Indy vs. KC - KC. KC follows the formula of other teams who have beat the Colts and gives the ball to Larry Johnson 40 times, thus keeping Manning & his powerful offense off the field for most of the game. When Manning does get on the field, he panics into some bad throws, and old friend Ty Law intercepts him at least once.
3. Seattle vs. Dallas. Seattle. Despite the fact that Seattle is down to back-ups of back-ups in the secondary, they compensate by really going after Romo, who fumbles the game away on several occassions. TO has a terrible day, dropping several passes, while, much to the chagrin of Pats fans everywhere, Deion Branch recovers his playoff attitude, having a great day and making the first-round pick the Pats got for him less valuable.
4. Eagles vs. Giants. Eagles. After one week of good play the Giants, particularly Eli Manning, revert to form when the Eagles D is able to contain Tiki Barber. Tom Coughlin again blames Manning in his post-game press conference, and coins a new term - "the Manning Family Play-off Curse."
What say you?
