Cardinals Hang On and Steelers Use Big Plays On Their Road to the Super Bowl
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Editorials,
The Arizona Cardinals jumped out to a big lead over the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Eagles came all the way back to take a one-point lead in the fourth quarter. On the next series Kurt Warner led a fourth quarter drive, ending in a TD, and the Cardinals move on with a 32-25 victory.
It was a heck of a lot of defense as the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14. The Ravens were never ahead, but kept it close by taking advantage of good field position for their two scores. Pittsburgh used big TD plays by WR Santonio Holmes and an interception that was run back for a score by safety Troy Polamalu to knock down the Ravens.

Titans, Giants and Panthers Forget How to Play Football
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Editorials,
I figured when I went 1-for-4 with my Wild Card playoff picks that it couldn’t get any worse. Wrong. I go O-for-4 this weekend. What the heck is going on? One playoff preview (from the experts) this past week stated “pick the home team” in the second round of the NFL playoffs. The reasons given: A) the stronger teams have earned the first week bye, B) these teams will play at home in the second week, C) they’re rested, and D) they have an extra week to gameplan.
So what happens? Other than the Pittsburgh Steelers, all home teams lose.

Ravens, Chargers, and Cardinals Make Me Look Bad

I went 1-for-4 with my Wild Card picks. Only the Philadelphia Eagles came up with one of my predicted victories. Meanwhile, San Diego, Baltimore, and Arizona looked good and moved on despite my putting the “whammie” on them.
Arizona Cardinals beat Atlanta Falcons:
The Cardinals used big plays to wide receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to pick up 14 points. Atlanta rookie QB Matt Ryan was very respectable in leading drives and providing Atlanta with a 17-10 lead going into the half. But the second half got off to a disastrous start as Arizona’s Antrel Rolle picked up an Atlanta fumble and ran 27 yards to paydirt. Arizona took a lead that they did not relinquish. Then Cardinal QB Kurt Warner delivered a nice drive to put it away.
Next up: Cards go to Carolina to meet the Panthers.

I thought all the playoff possibilities prior to Sunday would drive me nutty. Now after all the results are in, I’m still woozy. I can’t keep track of all the junky efforts we saw on the field and my coaches’ scorecard is getting marked up something fierce with all the firings that are piling up.

With two pushes last week, I believe that further proves how good Vegas gets as the season progresses. I want you to match my record with all the other so-called experts out there and find someone doing significantly better. I also want you to then ask yourself, if I can be better than all the ones in newspapers, on television, or on the radio, then why can’t you? The answer to that is that you can, and you are.

NFC North Week 16 Predictions
Posted by Charles Mitri Categories: Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
The Detroit “how can we lose another this week?” Lions play host to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Remember the 51-29 shellacking the Saints pasted on the Green Bay Packers four weeks ago? This game will pale by comparison. Big Easy quarterback Brees will resemble a Luftwaffe pilot bombing London when he starts peppering the Lions’ swiss cheese secondary. Give whatever name fits the bill - massacre, blowout, route, blood bath. It all adds up to the same thing - another one under “L” for the Lions - this one makes 15. Saints by 14.

You may think it’s the Terrible Towels that bring the Pittsburgh Steelers luck. You’re wrong. The Steelers’ fortune changed on Sunday when a fan went above and beyond to demonstrate his devotion to his team. This performance energized the home team in their 20-13 come-from-behind victory over Dallas.

The playoffs are looming large for several teams in the NFC. As of this writing, the Arizona Cardinals are the team who seem to have their division wrapped up with a 7-5 record over the second place San Francisco 49ers who are 3-8. The New York Giants are right on the cusp of wrapping up the NFC East with a 10-1 record, two and a half games over the second place Dallas Cowboys who are 8-4. In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings are knotted with 6-5 records, one game ahead of the Green Bay Packers who are 5-6. In the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are knotted at 8-3 for first place, one game ahead of the Atlanta Falcons who are 7-4 and two games ahead of the 6-5 New Orleans Saints.
What follows is just one writer’s garden theory on who will win their respective divisions and wild card teams.
