This weekend's games went pretty much as I suspected. Thought the 49ers might put up more of a fight, but no complaints here.

Still don't see anybody beating Oakland. Just too balanced.

My beloved Bucs better break out the anti-freeze. Philly is gonna be tough, but if they play like they did this weekend, I think Tampa has a shot at them. They'll need to play almost flawless to do it, but I liked what I saw Sunday.

Jets/Raiders game was a classic for three quarters. Pennington panicked a little...understandable for someone of his experience level.

Didn't watch the Atlanta defeat. I've had all the Michael Vick hype I can stand for this season, and thank God he's gone. Although I would have LOVED it if they had taken Philly out for us.

TWF's predictions:

Oakland 34
Tennessee 21



Philly 20
Tampa 16 :(
 
I've been spot on in my predictions since the playoffs started. I've been covering the spreads and I'm like 8 for 0. If I was a betting man, I'd be rolling in the money right now.

I still stand by TB vs TN. Not sure what the odds are yet, but I'm sure TN is a major underdog going to Oakland. Would be an easier ride for TN to host the Jets..but I think they are going to pull it off against Oakland.

I really like Gannon and Romanowski as players, those guys are just gritty, classic AFC type players. "Working Man" type guys that keep their mouths closed and deliver when needed.

And was happy to see Oakland put the Jets away.

Sapp is getting a little big for his britches. Good thing they don't play in a dome because they wouldn't be able to fit his head in. The Jets did nothing but talk smack and got their asses handed to them, now they look foolish. Sapp is a great player, but he thinks he's better than he really is.
 
TWF, I have to agree with the anti-freeze statement. It get's cold in Philly! I am really hoping that the Bucs can pull it off, though. And, I don't see the Titans getting past the Raiders either. I will not make point predictions as you have, but will just say I would like to see wins by Oakland and Tampa Bay!!!

BTW, how much longer with "that" avitar???:(
 
Sapp will run that mouth, no doubt. But he usually is able to back it up. And he IS that good. His numbers are down this year due to the double teams he is drawing, but just look at Simeon Rice and the rest. It's a dilemma...who do you doubleteam, and who do you let loose?

I'm telling ya, Paul...them Titans ain't that much punkin. They'll get it good Sunday. I hope you're right in the NFC though. Gruden taking the Bucs to the Super Bowl against the Raiders....man, what a storyline.
 
I don't think the Titans are that great either, but I just have a hunch that they're gonna get there.

I just hope that "hunch" is wrong! And, TWF, can't wait until Wednesday!:)
 
My prediction... Oakland will go all the way and win the Super Bowl!!!

I hope your hunch is right. Would like to see the Titns back in the Super Bowl again. This time with a win. GO TITANS.
 
Hey bud_Stud...quite a stretch there my friend...you sure you want to go out on such a limb? I mean, you've only got a 25% chance. :rolleyes: ;) :p
 
Just remember......Oakland players have "something" to prove. Their coach left them to go coach the Bucs. I believe they are on a mission to prove that they "belong" in the super bowl this year! (JMO)
 
The Raiders were a terrible officiating call from the Super Bowl last year. They won't be denied this year. They just have too much firepower for Tennessee. I do think the Bucs will go into Philly and pull it out. I know their record in cold weather is horendous, but I just think Philly has been lucky to get away with a lot of the mistakes they have been making. I don't think they will be able to score enough on Tampa's defense. Tampa's defense will be the best squad on the field by far sunday and that will make the difference.
 
Oakland 24
Tennessee 16

Philly 23
Tampa 14

If Oakland and Tampa win, there will be a couple ex Vikes QB's in the Super Bowl.
 
You know it Paul, I'm stickin' with the Raiders... they'll go all the way and win it all this year!! I say they'll beat TN by atleast a touchdown..
 
I don't see anyone stopping philly, I think they will win superbowl for sure.
