NINE hours of Football?
I am finally getting around to watching the final NFL Playoff game of last weekend on DVR (Dolphins-Ravens), and I saw a great commercial from a beer company, which I will not name. So it says, "How can you watch NINE hours of NFL football this weekend? Easy... just skip the Sunday afternoon game!"
Love it.
Should be some amazing match-ups today and tomorrow.
The Cardinals are just plain up-starts, but they sure are fun to watch. They could give Carolina more than they want to handle.
The Ravens v. Titans game will be great. Not much has been said of the Titans since their winning streak (and their perfect season) was ruined a month or so ago. But their defense is still their defense, which is one of the best in the NFL. The Ravens' D would like to refute that and make a statement after making the dolphins look like guppies last weekend.
Eagles/Giants III: This one has all the makings of a classic. As some talking head on ESPN said yesterday, McNabb will have to play perfect for this one to be close. But if he does, it could be a repeat of their second match-up this year, in which Philly beat the G-Men 20-14. The Giants won the first game this year (in Philadelphia) 36-31, so this is the rubber game.
Chargers at Steelers: This is the one I am looking forward to the most. Phil Rivers and Big Ben Roethlisberger were drafted in the same class a few years ago. They both played very well this year. Yes, it looks like L.T. will not play for the Chargers this week due to injury, but in case you haven't heard, he's got a very suitable back-up, shorty Darren Sproles. He got over 300 all-purpose yards last week, as Peyton Manning watched pitifully from the sidelines (the Chargers have now ended the Colts' playoff run two years in a row!). The Steelers defense is just NASTY, while the Chargers defense is penetrable.
How many hours of football will YOU be watching this weekend?

Great games, eh? So will it be an all-Pennsylvania football team? I dunno. I think Pitt's gonna have a hard time beating Baltimore 3 times in a row. And Arizona? Why not? Let the Cinderella season continue!
