Are you ready for some football?

Miami won, but a bad call by the officials sent it into second overtime. Those teams are so evenly matched that they should have awarded them co-championships.


The Forty-niners won on a bad no-call. They did to the Giants what the Rams did to them last week. Sometimes I think that the 49ers and the Rams are just so good they get bored, but once they wake up, they're amazing. The Giants seemed to lose their cool when the momentum shifted. Sure, they should have gotten a second shot at the field goal. So we'll never know how that would have turned out. It was theirs to lose and they did. Experience in the playoffs won the game for the Niners, but it hasn't seemed to teach Terrell Owens anything.


Green Bay. How the mighty are fallen! Worst job of coaching I've seen this year. Too many injuries, too much malaise.


Atlanta. Why they in a Wildcard game? They and the Giants should have both won their divisions, but they must not have been playing all year like they were the last few weeks.


Steelers. The real Wildcard.


The Colts v. the Jets. Boring. Manning has been carrying the Colts. He is the reason they even made it to the playoffs. He reminds me of Steve Young playing for the Bucs back in the days of the creamsicle uniforms.


I've thought that the Eagles were the team to beat, but the Giants beat them. I think that letting McNabb play might be a mistake. He sure won't be the mobile threat he was before he broke his leg. Maybe experience will win this one. I think they weren't really up for the Giants game, but they will be for the Falcons. I'm rooting for the Eagles because their coach used to work for BYU and he's very good. It's a good thing I don't bet.


This weekend: The Bucs beat the Niners. The Steelers beat the Titans. Eagles over the Falcons. The Raiders, who are now more like the Niners than the Raiders, over the Jets.


The Superbowl: The Eagles v. the Raiders. The Raiders win because McNabb isn't 100%.
