I think they would have fared better than Peyton Manning did. They have shown they can win in the cold, with the snow.

I'll take the Colts overtime win vs. Denver in 2002 over the beating of the Cleveland Browns in 2004

Besides, the cold wasn't much of a factor for Peyton, more the receivers who dropped 8 passes.

The Pats are a good team, but the Steelers are a better team, and the Steelers have the #1 defense, and the game will be in Heinz Field. So long as Big Ben doesn't stink it up, I like Pittsburgh's chances of sending New England home.

NE will beat Pitt, both have very good defenses and NE has the better offense.

Atl v Philly is tougher to call, but Philly's run "D" wont stand up to the Falcons running attack.

NE 20 Pitt 10
Atl 27 Phi 20

NE will win the SB 24-13

All 4 teams have very good defenses but NE has the best offense.

Considering I went 1 - 3 with my last predictions, it probably doesn't matter what I think

But here they are anyway.

Pitt over New England

Pitt can play the same type of ball control/good defense game that New England can. I give it to Pitt solely on home field advantage, because I think the teams are pretty much equal.

Atlanta over Philly

While Philly seemed to be able to score without TO on the field, Atlanta looked pretty impressive this week. Philly will have a better passing game, but Vick as a second runner will give them the edge over Philly.

Now based on my last predictions, go out and bet the exact opposite if you want to win some money

	17-01-2005 22:17									#103

yeah philly could score, but against a weak defense. I know the Vikings aren't the worst defense in the league, but aside from 1 decent player, they are pretty bad.

Philly will destroy Atlanta this week. This is not the St. Louis Rams defense. This is the defense that gave up 2nd fewest points in NFL through week 14. We just got finished beating the #1 offense in the NFL. If Vick tries to run on us the way he did St. Louis, our Pro Bowl safeties will flatten him. That's assuming he can even get out of the backfield and past Jeremiah Trotter, Ike Reese, and Jevon Kearse. McNabb and his boys will score enough for us to win the game.

PHI 31 ATL 13.

Go EAGLES!!

I'm a very casual football fan who watches a handful of games/year, but it's cool nonetheless to have the Patriots doing so well lately. I will root for 'em, but not be particularly unhappy if they are to lose.

I figure it's about a 50/50 shot down in Pitt. This time they've got Corey Dillon healthy, and they played a very good game at home against the Colts. But it's still a tough game on the road. So a tossup.

I've no idea about the other game, but I wish Vick well. I remember watching his last game at Virginia Tech (and I never watch college football) when he nearly single-handedly hauled his team back into a game against a far superior team. He was just flat out electric.

In my view, NE is playing the best of any team right now. However, I also think that any of the remaining teams could win the Superbowl if they play a perfect game. Atlanta has definitely surprised me. Philly looks like a different team with McNab. Pitt has that great defense. Ditto New England. New England also has Brady, a clutch quarterback and the edge over all the other teams.

I'm not making predictions, but I think BOTH games will be very close. No more blowouts anymore.

More importantly, he was 12 of 16.

Only 82 yards, but I guess he did play pretty good against a .500 team.

A .500 team which everyone was saying was going to knock off the Falcons. And he only threw for that few yards because he didn't have to throw for more. Why throw when you are running so damned well?

NEW ENGLAND! HA!

Peyton Peyton Peyton Peyton Peyton blah blah blah. Him and his wussy offense were all we could hear about for a week. Thank you, Bellicheck, for putting together a game plan that utterly mastered, manipulated, and manhandled the Colts' defense. The mix of pass and rush kept them off-guard, and ate up the clock. It was a fun game to watch...

Manhandled the Colts DEFENSE? The Defense actually did not play very badly and, quite frankly, dominated the Patriots' Offense in the 1st half of the game.

I didn't see any manhandling of defenses.
