What An NFL Weekend For The Fu2rman

Can you say 4 for 4!

Not bad, the only thing I was wrong about was the fact the the Eagles did cover the spread against the Viks. However, I only said the Eagles may get a suprise from the Viks, and they didn't.

On to next week, the Great and Humble Fu2rman says...

Pats and Eagles win.

I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for the Pats, even though they are a Boston team! I have no respect for the World Champion Bo Sox! Here's a team that worked the trade deadline to win, fair play of course, but they continue to fail to sign players that got them there, a characteristic of a bad organization that bought a championship.

But the Pats, they just keep winning. In the era of the salary cap, that's impressive.

All year it's been, Peyton, Peyton, Peyton, but he's home for the season, Brady is not.

You may have noticed all year that there was plenty of talk about Peyton, McNabb, Vick, Big Ben, even Brees, but what about Brady? He didn't put up huge numbers, or break any records, he did have a pretty good winning streak going, he seemed to suffer from the quiet guy syndrome. (Just like Lamar Odom, as Bahb might say). This is a great compliment, something missing in sports today.

Now I know the Steelers are the team that broke that winning streak, but in the playoffs, how do you go against Brady and the Pats?

Some may say it's all Bill Belichick, but his record as a head coach is in the neighborhood of

42-56 without Brady, and
54-16 with Brady.

So you tell me...

The Falcons ran all over the Rams last weekend, but can they do it against the Eagles? Maybe, but it won't be enough. The Eagles gave up less than 100 rushing yards against the Viks, and Dante Culpepper is about as close to Vick as your going to get. That made for a nice warmup for this weekend. Plus, Vick only picked up 82 yards passing.

82 yards!

Pats over Steelers

Eagles over Falcons

And there you have it.
