Ravens-Steelers, Eagles-Cardinals... Who's Going to Tampa ? Find Out Here.. But We're Probably Wrong..

Will Bobby Get His 'All-Pennsylvania' Matchup ??

Well, my Giants got knocked out, along with a few other top teams. Thanks to the road teams going 5-3, we'll have an interesting, if not ideal, Super Bowl. I'm a mediocre 4-4 so far, so I need to get my act together this week. Enough chatter about what was - how about what's coming?

Ravens at Steelers

The first team to ten wins, right? Seriously, it's going to be cold, the field always is in crappy shape, and both teams are led by the defenses. So, it looks like the team that makes the big mistake will lose. If you compare Ben Roethlisberger and Joe Flacco, Big Ben is usually the one who tries too hard and screws up. But, I think this time he knows it's not up to him to win the game. I have a feeling that Joe Flacco is going to come down to Earth a bit this week.

Between Ray Lewis and James Harrison, points will be given out like Congressional Medal of Honor tomorrow. Skippy Reed wins MVP...Bobby gets half of his wish..

Steelers 16-6.

Eagles at Cardinals

Ahh, the battle of The Birds. We know what to expect from the Eagles. Tough D, and a lot of Brian Westbrook. But what about the Cardinals? The D sure has looked better in the playoffs ( 5 picks on Jake Delhomme - jeez!), and they looked unstoppable on the fast Carolina turf. heck, they even RAN the ball !! They'll be at home on another fast track today, and no doubt the place will be rocking. Trips to the Super Bowl don't come to Arizona often..

Arizona has the best player on the field in Larry Fitzgerald, so he will keep DB Brian Dawkins from blitzing. If the Big Uglies up front can give Kurt Warner time, he can put points on the board. Yeah, the Eagles made the Cards look pretty bad a month ago, but so did Carolina. I see a lot of similarities of the Atlanta Falcons run a decade ago. No they didn't win, but they made it...

Cardinals 27-20.

You don't like the picks don't worry - I also said the Colts and Panthers were going to the Super Bowl two weeks ago...

I am rooting for the Steelers and the Cardinals. But hope the Steelers win the Super Bowl.

Not too shabby this week, eh? I picked the Cards by 7 and the Steelers by 10.

that puts me at 6-4 now.

What was the outcome of the Raven that got a neck injury. Was it Willerby? I shut it off after the game.
