Who do you think will win today?

My picks are...

Cardinals over Eagles

Ravens over Steelers

I know I am going against the favorites in both games. But I just have a feeling the Cardinals have enough to beat the Eagles in Arizona. I love the Cards, but I would never pick them if this were in Philly. I also think the Ravens will figure out a way to win this thing. It is really hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. Pittspuke won the first two. I'm not sure they can do it again.
 
By the way, my head says I am probably wrong on both picks, but I just can't stand either of the PA teams.
 
I'm pulling for my Eagles in the early game.
I think the Baltimore/Pittsburgh game is a toss up.
 
The Cardinals beat the Eagles in a good game. Now that they're in I'll be rooting for Arizona to win the Superbowl (longshot, I know)...if your favorite teams aren't in you may as well cheer for the underdog :)

My favorite team (my hometown Browns) hasn't been "in it" since they hired Romeo Crenel several years ago. He seemed like a great guy, but just made horrible decisions on the sidelines.

That being said, I have always been a big fan of Kurt Warner. I am really happy to see him get to another Super Bowl. This should assure his place in the Hall Of Fame whether he wins it or not.

I've also come to like most of the other Cardinals along the way. Anquan Boldin is one tough SOB. He had 7 plates and 40 screws put in his face earlier this year to repair multiple fractures he sustained in a game earlier in the year. He missed 2 or 3 games and was right back out there going right back over the middle of the field. That takes some serious testicular fortitude right there.

Larry Fitzgerald is an amazing receiver to watch also. There are also plenty of other players that I just really like.
 
I have always been a Steelers fan and hope to see another Championship in P-burg. I go back to the days when Joe Geri played for them. They are a good organization.

Should've known you were a CLOWNS fan....:p

Steelers fan since 8 JUN 1962...
 
I really think the Cards have a decent shot at winning, they are peaking at the right time and their running game is coming around. Should be a good game.....I hope!

Well...considering that the Pittsburgh running game has been lackluster all season, and the main running back is now healthy, both teams will be tough on the ground.
 
The Cardinals running game was last (32nd) in the NFL this year. The Steelers were 23rd in the NFL in rushing. Parker is physically ok at this point.

Cardinals will not be able to run against the Steelers defense. The game could be a blowout in favor of the Steelers. The Cardinals defense doesn't come close in comparison with Pittsburgh.
 
I'm not real confident that the Cardinals can beat the Steelers. But then nobody thought they would beat the Panthers and Eagles either.

The Cards offense is great. Kurt Warner can disect a defense, especially when they blitz. Their defense isn't great, but then the Steelers offense isn't exactly awesome.

I'm picking the Cards again. I've picked them every week of the playoffs so far and I haven't been wrong yet.

I don't know about that. Pittsburgh has the best Corner and safety in the business, IMO. Besides...they already beat the hapless Browns, so its a good season. :D
