2007 NFL -------------- ELITE 8 --------
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (+5.5) v. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
The eagles to me just aren't that good. They are missing pro bowlers Donovan McNabb, Jevon Kearse and Lito Shepard. But can the rookie tandum of Bush / Colston bet a group of veterans. Yes they can I expect 130 total yards from REGGIE and 300 from Brees. I think this will be a good game with the SIZZZZaints taking control half way through the 3rd sort of like the Pats /Jets game.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (+4.5) v. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
This seems to be the biggest game of the weekend according to most so called experts and polls. If I had any "marbles" I would take the chargers by 13. They averaged over 30 points a game this year. So whats stopping me from taking them? The patriots defense. No one talks about them but they average giving up only 13.8 points a game. Tom Brady needs to control the ball I think think the Pats need to run a little more with the combination of Dillon, Maroney, Faulk and Evans.
This could be an ugly game if the chargers D and Rivers come to play.
PATRIOTS 24 chargers 20
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (+4) v. BALTIMORE RAVENS
Maybe its just because I hate the ravens, but I really like the colts in this game. Peyton is too good to have another poor performance and I like the combination of the Colts #2 pass defense v. air mcnair. The colts run defense is ranked like 100, but with a healthy d-line and bob sanders they are much better than the numbers show. And I have become a big fan of the combination rb's Addai and Rhoades.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (+8.5) v. CHICAGO "DA" BEARS
Another game, still no "marbles." Something about this seahawk team. I really want to pick them to win. Hasselback and Alexander could have a big game but I'm going to go w/ the Bears defense and the foot of my boy Robbie Gould. The weather is supposed to be nasty and so will the Bears defense. I think the bears wil run a lot and keep the score close.
