I got burned for picking two underdogs last week, though my dogs (Pittsburgh & Atlanta) were the only dogs of the 4 to show any fight and both had a chance. (Pitt was obvious they could have won, however I also think if you take away some early very questionable penalties called against Atlanta and the one real bad Vick throw they could easily have won that game). I would love to say it will be Chuckie 1 versus Chuckie 2, but I think the damn Iggles will get in the way. I just don't see how Tampa can move the ball against Phily, and that will put so much pressure on Johnson to not make ANY mistakes and on the defense in practically shutting out the Iggles. Tampa's defense will come close to winning the game on their own and maybe Alstot can do some damage between the tackles (they need him to), but I think a big play by Thrash or score by the Iggles D/special teams will turn the game, I'll say Phily 13-9. I think the Titans have little chance. I think the Jets were the toughest comp for the Raiders and they got steamrolled. Also consider the Titans had a very tough game, the Raiders won easily. The better team, the team with far more weapons, the healthier team, and the team playing at home will win, I'd say in not too difficult of a game like 27-13. The only way the Titans win is busting up Gannon did like the Raven's of a few years ago or a freak Oakland blizzard--don't count on it. In fact the whole playoff is lining up well for the Raiders as the other team is the one coming off the tougher, more taxing, game. Remember the Iggles/Bucs winner will not have 2 weeks to prepare and get healthy. This is really looking like the season for the Silver and Black--they just got to buy a little time for Gannon and keep him from getting killed.
And his backfield companion breaks a nail and is AWAL the rest of high stakes games. No doubting McNair's toughness though.
On the Squares for the Superbowl... I agree sell the squares first then after they are all sold apply the numbers randomly. I've found it's much easier to sell the squares that way and no on b****es about having to take the crappy numbers.
Eagles will win their game 24 - 20. Titans will win their game 27 - 24. I love the fact that the Titans are 8 point underdogs in this game. Only the true fans believe in this team.
