Yeah, that was a good 'un yesterday, definitely very exciting!
Not sure how well next week is gonna go though. Losing all-pro CB Lito Sheppard to a dislocated elbow as a seriously bad stroke of luck.
Usually i just outright pick the team with the better defense in any given playoff game, so from that perspective you have to like the Eagles chances, as the Saints really do have a pretty weak D.
It's for that same reason that i think the Ravens will win it all. They have a D of the same caliber as Chicago, but with a much better offense.
My non-homer Superbowl prediction is Ravens 27, Saints 7.
I would LOVE for the Eagles and Hawks to win though, as that would set up yet another Eagles home NFC conference title game(the 4th in the last 6 years).
If the Eagles and Seahawks have an advantage, it's the playoff inexperience of both the Saints and the Bears. That really is a significant edge, but we'll see how it plays out...
BTW: I just heard on the radio that if the Eagles win this week Lito Sheppard may be back for the NFC championship game. Gotta give these guys credit, as most of them are warriors in the truest sense of the word.
