Divisional Playoff Predictions (Best Weekend in Sports)

Best Weekend in Sports (Pt. 2)
Jan. 7, 2009

As I was saying (http://www.theomfield.com/2009/01/best-weekend-in-sports-pt-1.html), the NFL Divisional Playoffs provide the best weekend in sports. Every year I anticipate it, and every year the league delivers. 2008-09 looks to be no exception.

By the end of the weekend, even the hungriest NFL appetite will be sated.

PHILADELPHIA at NY GIANTS
Sunday, Jan. 11, 1:00 pm EST

Ah, yes. The Meadowlands. January. The NFC East.

If you blur your eyes a little, you can almost see the irascible Buddy Ryan leading the likes of Ron Jaworski, Wilbert Montgomery, Reggie White, Randall Cunningham, Seth Joyner and a host of Eagles icons onto the windswept Meadowlands carpet to do battle with Big Tuna, Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Mark Bavaro, Leonard Marshall and a host of other names that start to roll of the tongue if you let them.

That the names this Sunday are Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Brian Dawkins, facing off against Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck, matters not. For those of us who have followed NFC East football for any length of time, this one is old school, classic Gang Green versus Big Blue. A throwback. A streetfight.

And I've been anticipating this game for weeks now. If there is any team that can stop the Giants, it's the Eagles. And if there is one team I hate as much as Dallas it's the Giants.

I say Westbrook has a huge game 100+ yards. Also looking for Dawkins and co. to disrupt Elis plans of attack

Iggles 17 No freakin way I can ever cheer for MY most hated team! Hope Westbrook takes a dump and fumbles.

I've got the Giants, Ravens, Chargers, and Panthers this week. Least confident about Giants-Eagles, but I mean, what's new? I couldn't decide between those teams back in August.

I know but living in NY as you know Im surrounded by Gmen.

Yeah but still, I'd rather be surrounded by Giants fans than Eagles fans.
