The NFL Playoffs

So here we are in the second week of the playoffs and now I can start telling all my faithful followers in the Blog World who is going to win. Since I know you all hang on my every word I might even drag it out a bit by rambling about this and that and everything in between or I could get straight into it. There are 4 games this weekend and they are all pretty big, so lets get right into it by talking about today's big games.
Colts Vs Ravens..... This is a huge matchup between the high powered offense of Peyton Manning and the Colts against the equally high powered Defense of the Ravens. The Ravens have been one of the top 3 defenses for the last 6 years or so and is lead by Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, and new comer Bart Scott. This defense forces turnovers and turn them into points and that makes them very dangerous. No one is talking about how good the Ravens have played even though they have won 9 out of their last 10 games and are coming off a bye week. The only thing that people are talking about is can Peyton win the big game. Well to answer all those doubters the Colts are going to have to have more than just Peyton show up, the defense will have to show up like they did last week against the running force of Larry Johnson and the Chiefs. The key to this game will be the running game. Will the Colts 2 headed running attack be able to penetrate the dominate defense of the Ravens and in turn will the Colts defense be able to stop the power running of former Tennessee Vol Jamal Lewis? I LOVE Steve McNair and his tough attitude and in his first year with the Ravens he has been one of the main reasons that the Ravens are the #2 seed in the very tough AFC.
Colts win in a very tough game 27 - 24

Tonights game is a tough one to call between the suprising New Orleans Saints and the even more suprising Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were considered all but done when All Pro QB Donovan McNabb went down with a torn ACL mid way through the season but somehow showed what a great head coach they have with Andy Reid by pulling together and not only making the playoffs but winning the Division that sent 3 out of 4 teams to the playoffs. That might be one of the most suprising teams in the year. The problem with that statement is we are talking about them playing the Saints. Yes I said the Saints. Commonly known for so many years as the Aints. Not only were the Saints good this year but they had the 2nd best record in the NFC. They made some huge moves in the off-season by picking up a real QB in Drew Brees and then drafting Reggie Bush. Bush turned out to be one of the best rookies this year by having over 1300 yards from scrimmage for the season and even more importantly helped the offense spread the field and open up running holes for Deuce McAllister. They have such a high powered offense it will come down to the pressure that Philly puts on Brees. Philly will blitz from every angle and try to get Brees off of his game by throwing different coverages at him throughout the game.
