Sunday NFL Playoff Predictions
Today hopefully my predictions are better than they were yesterday as I was 0-2. Today we will start with the Philadelphia Eagles traveling to the New York Giants. The Giants had the bye and they should be rested and ready to go. Eli Manning and the crew look to defend their championship and are 7-1 at home. Meanwhile Philadelphia has been on a roll and playing very well lately since the benching of McNabb. I like the Eagles in this game because they are playing better than the Giants right now and I think the bye will hurt the Giants. Take the Eagles 31-21.
In the late game the San Diego Chargers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers have been playing real well but will be without L.T. and Darren Sproles will need to play big once again in the game. These teams played earlier in the season with the Steelers winning in a defensive battle. For the Steelers they will get Big Ben back who suffered a concussion in the last game of the season. protecting him will be something the Steelers must do if they want to win. This games looks to be close again, but I like the Steelers at home and the number one defense pulling out a 21-17 victory.
