Saturday games

Chiefs at Colts

I'm a Chiefs fan but I'll try to be objective. Indy reminds me a bit of the 2003 Chiefs with a team who can pile up a lot of points, but can also give them up in bunches too. They're great at home but very mediocre on the road. Manning is a top notch QB and Harrison and Wayne are pro bowlers for good reason. Joseph Addai also had a pretty good season too making many say Edgerrin who. Still the Colts defence struggled against the run and did allow more points and yards against than any other AFC playoff team. Adam Vinatieri is clutch, and Hunter Smith....well he doesn't play too much at home.

The Chiefs have Larry Johson who they use a lot. Some might say too much. Trent Geen has looked awfull in the past few weeks. So guess what, KC will try to run the ball. Indy will try everything they can think of to stop the run. On defence the Chiefs are improved but are still vulnerable to the pass. Which is Indy's strength. But the Chiefs have tricky special teams as Bernard Pollard blocked three punts and Dustin Colquitt is a decent punter.

I think the Colts will take this one 35-10 because the Chiefs will start Trent Green, not get the run going early, give up a TD on the first drive and than Trent Green will throw two more TD passes for the Colts. Still KC owes Indy, and maybe good old Lamar will lend a hand (or put Huard in after the first play and catch the Colts off guard). Go Chiefs!

Cowboys at Seahawks

Teams have tape on Tony Romo now, they can neutralize him a bit. Alexander is running the ball well lately for the Seahawks and the Cowboys D has been brutal lately. The Seahawks usually find ways to lose, but not this week they take this one easily but the score won't really show it.
Seahawks 38-28.

Jets at Patriots

Jets were pretty hot down the stretch and posted an impressive 10-6 record to make the playoffs in Eric Mangini's first season. The Pats were also pretty good too in December save a terrible game in Miami. I liken the Jets to last years Jaguars a team that had an easier schedule, led by a young up and coming coach and won the games they should have. But come playoffs they'll go into Foxboro to face an experienced Patriot team with Bill Bellichek. Mangini knows Bellichek, but he'll lose this round to the teacher.
Pats 21-9

Giants at Eagles

Eagles were good down the stretch as Jeff Garcia rallied them for 4 straight wins. In fact the McNabb injury probably was a blessing as the Eagles actually used Westbrook as a running back. Imagine that use your best player for what he's supposed to do. Giants won 2 of their final 6 to scrape in with an 8-8 record. Tiki Barber saved their ass to get himself one more game in his career. The Eagles won't give him another.
Eagles 30-13
