Giants at Redskins

All I can say is RATS! Redskins 35, Giants 20. Good game though. If it wasn't for a highly debatable holding penalty which erased a Giants touchdown with 6:50 to play, it might have gotten interesting late in the game. That call probably cost the NFL half the watching audience.

So we go into the last week with a number of things still up in the air. Although the Giants are assured of a play-off berth with the Minnesota loss, the NFC East title is still up in the air. A Giants loss to Oakland opens the door for the Redskins against the Eagles. Hehe, fat chance. I'm betting the Eagles knock the Redskins out of the play-offs.

As of now things are lining up like this:

AFC: Indianapolis, Cinncinatti, New England, Denver and Jacksonville are in. The last spot will probably be Pittsburgh who hosts Detroit. Kansas City is a long shot. The Steelers would have to lose to the Lions and the Chiefs would have to beat Cinncinatti neither of which is terribly likely.

NFC: Seattle, Chicago and New York are in but the Giants will either be a conference winner or a Wildcard. Either Tampa Bay or Carolina has to win the NFC South. I'm betting on Tampa Bay who is in with a win over New Orleans while Carolina heads to Atlanta.

Predictions, predictions, who makes it to the Super Bowl? I think I like Chicago in the NFC because we're talking about an old fashion bruise'em up Chicago defense. In the AFC I have to stick with Indianapolis. Yes New England is a big danger now that they're healthy, but I'm going to stick with Peyton and company.
