Cards 31 Saints 20
I like Warner & Fitzgerald (local grad of Valley Forge Military Academy). If Boldins back that just gives Warner too many options for the Saints to handle. I think the Cards should be fairly acclimated to a noisy “Dome” like setting so I don't think that will bother them too much. And lastly, the Cards have that pesky “M” word on their side that Saints fans hate to hear: MOMENTUM!
Ravens 21 Colts 17
My brain tells me no way the Ravens go into that Dome and beat Indy. Manning’s too good at picking up the blitzes, home field will be huge, and the Indy defense, if they can get an early lead, will have the luxury of crowding the box and challenging the Ravens out of their run game. But I’m gonna ignore all of that stuff and go with one of my favorite ex-Eagles coaches John Harbaugh along with my fellow South Jersey native Joe Flacco & Rutgers grad Ray Rice in pulling off the upset.
You know it seems like the teams with the byes aren’t nearly as dominant in this round as they used to be. Perhaps it’s simply because the gaps between the top and lower seeds aren’t as dramatic as they were in the pre salary cap era.
Your heart sucks!!
Yet, you make a case.
It's going to be tough if Warner is allowed to remain in pocket and throw to Fitz.
If Saints D comes out of hiding, Warner could be in big trouble and Larry F will be getting little throws.
Kicking off shortly.
Cardinals 45, Saints 38
No defenses on the field, it’s a shootout..
