Like I said, anything can happen with the NFL…but I still think, to this point I have the Eagles at number 2 compared to the Steelers…haha…

They just haven’t shown consistency throughout the season…Pittsburgh has…and Pitt has the number 1 defense in the league to contend with…A solid running game has now shown up…they have big play guys down the field…Philly doesn’t have any of that (save an unpredictable and recently scrappy defense)….

But, they could very well be the 2005 Steelers of this year…Everything to this point is pretty much exactly the same….minus Jerome Bettis…lol…

woody – I disagree on the AFC over the NFC this year. Eagles are the most complete team out there. I would rank Steelers as a close second but homefield has rarely been their friend in the playoffs. Ravens will somehow make things messy enough to fluster Big Ben into making a couple of key mistakes. I also think Flacco is on his way to becoming the better QB of the two if not there alreay. This game will probably foreshadow what is to lie ahead in that saga.

Ravens have got pretty lucky with turnovers…Which could easily happen if Ben has a bad day….It is very possible…but if both teams play to their potential I still see Pittsburgh winning…

The AFC team should easily beat the NFC team this year…But who didnt say that about Pats/Giants last year….

Anything can happen in the NFL…

There’s something gritty (and a little ugly) about the Ravens that has me seeing them take down the Stillers. Still, I’m going with the Iggles to take it all.

Keystone Bowl – Steelers – Eagles….

How can the Ravens beat the Steelers? The Steelers allowed only 15 yards to a legitimate rushing offense…The Ravens have not been that even (consistently). And they will blitz the daylights out of the Rookie QB….They can not win…

Eagles will likely overcome Arizona…even at home…

Fair argument (wishful thinking) on #5. Loss to the Cards or not, I don’t think he’ll come cheap or easy. I’m leaning more towards Losman personally.

Just playing devil’s advocate DD. I too, had the Eagles and the Ravens (for the last month or so), but wouldn’t be surprised to see the Cards pull it off, much to the dismay of the Superbowl ratings gods. Besides, the ‘cardinal’ sin of losing to the Arizona in the playoffs might just be the catilyst we need to get # 5 back on the trade block.

I was never real big on the Delhomme and the Panthers but I’ll give the Cards their due.

Truth is, I picked Philly and Ravens from the beginning. Don’t see that changing. McNabb, Jackson, Westbrook, and the Philly D will be more than the Cards can handle and then some. Major pound down about to happen out in the desert. ‘Fraid Warner & co will come out looking more like Wile E Coyote pairing up with a box of Acme TNT (Fitz & Boldin). Plan might seem clever at first but, well, you know how the story always ends. Mee-meep, zooom.

‘Sorry, can’t see that happening.’…Let’s see, where have I heard that. Oh yeah, all last week.

kcdan58, are you suggesting the Cards are headed to the Big Show? Sorry, can’t see that happenin’.
