This is going to be such an amazing two days of football. I am looking forward to every single game this weekend. Here are my thoughts about each game:
Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers
I think what has made Lambeau Field legendary will end up being the Packers' undoing in this game. It's supposed to snow in Green Bay today and that is not a good thing for a team that uses a run and shoot offense. I think Seattle's front seven is good enough to stifle Ryan Grant and I think we might see a similar fiasco as what we saw when the Packers went to Chicago, although I think the score will be closer. Also, if this game comes down to field goals which I think it might, I'm taking Josh Brown (heated pants and all) over rookie Mason Crosby, even though Crosby has done a very nice job this season and should be one of the best kickers in the league for the next 15 years.
Prediction: Seattle 23 Green Bay 17
Player of the Game: Matt Hasselbeck
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New England Patriots
I posted my thoughts on what would happen if the Jags played the Pats earlier in this thread so I will reiterate them here. No defense has been able to stop the Brady machine and I doubt Jacksonville will be the first. The only way a team will beat the Patriots is if their offense can outscore New England's. That being said I don't see David Garrard as a QB that can put 30+ points on the Pats D and I don't see New England going 16-1 this season.
Prediction: New England 33 Jacksonville 20
Player of the Game: Tom Brady
San Diego Chargers vs. Indianapolis Colts
I'm positive Peyton Manning has been obsessing about this rematch for a while and I'm positive he's not going to allow his performance to be as bad as it was the last time they played the Chargers. Regardless of whether or not Antonio Gates and Marvin Harrison play, the Colts should win since they're at home and rested and you just know their offense is ready to go off. This should be an entertaining game and I think a high scoring one as well.
Prediction: Indianapolis 38 San Diego 31
Player of the Game: Joseph Addai
New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys
Everyone is saying upset here but I just don't see it. This whole season all anyone could talk about was Romo and Owens, but everyone forgets that Dallas' defense is pretty freaking good. The Giants weren't that impressive against an ok Tampa Bay team and Dallas should do what they have already done twice this season.
Prediction: Dallas 24 New York 16
Player of the Game: Jason Witten
