Sunday Playoff Preview (brief)

Well the Sunday games aren't very intriguing to me, because I have zero idea how the Vikings and Eagles got in. I really didn't follow the NFC that closely. I though the Vikings were bad, the only insight I read about the Vikings is Drew Magary, and he is always done on them, except for Purple Jesus.

But I'm going to base my predictions solely based on team stats, throw out the records, who they played or my image of them. Where do their team stats lie, because numbers never lie.

Vikings vs Eagles

The Eagles come in with the 9th ranked offense in the NFL and the 3rd ranked defense.

The Vikings come in with the 17th ranked offense and the 6th ranked defense.

Well the numbers tell me, that the Eagles will win this game. Top 10 in both rankings usually indicate a pretty good team. Yet the Eagles have never seemed to be that good.

The Eagles win through the Air, good for Andy Reid. 31 to 13


Dolphins vs the Ravens

Chad Pennington vs Joe Flacco. Joey Porter vs Ray Lewis.

Boring guys and crazy linebackers, its a good contrast.

Well using the same strategy.

The Ravens come into Sunday with 18th ranked offense and the 2nd ranked defense

The Dolphins come into Sunday with the 12th ranked offense and 15th ranked defense.

Mmm, you always go against the rookie QB, especially versus one that has postseason experience. But the Ravens D is just too good and too hard. They will come out hard on Sunday to prove how good they are, and Pennington doesn't have the arm strength to really go after this Ravens secondary, even with Jim Leonhard back there. Its a tight one, and low scoring.

Ravens 17 Dolphins 13

Those are my non scientific predictions for sunday's game and I'm usually wrong. But anyway enjoy.

Id post a game preview

Below would include a preview of tonight's game. But not today

Its not that I'm tired of game previews. I actually like them, its fun to find out about other teams and who is on them, so you can watch the game a little more informed. But its that I'm tired of reading and talking about the Sabres right now. I really am, its been constant sabre talk for so long. Thats why a little NFL Free Agency was a breath of fresh air, I'm tired of this team and I'd like to watch games and just take them for fun and not likes its some life of death thing. They don't make the playoffs, big deal. Its April and its time to get the hell outside. I wasted too many good days staying inside watching a heartless Sabre team last year falter. Plus hockey reminds me of winter and I'm tired of that too. This weekend's storm depressed me. I want to wear a polo shirt, I wanna feel that warm air in in the morning going to work, I want to see green everywhere again.

I'll watch a bit of tonights game, but if they win or lose I won't be too concerned because in the end its just a hockey game. And real life is much more important to spend on my time on. You know like work, family and girlfriend. Well my girlfriend has done a great job of making me do other things then waste time watching hockey. Though I'm excited about going a game later in the month. I'll go to them. But I'm not wasting that much time watching them on tv. So Sabres, make me wanna tune in again.

And yes I'll probably feel different again, if they break off a few wins.
