1. Magic Rat

Wise beyond your years.

Go You Dirty Birds! - that's the Falcons for those of you not in the know :)

[Renew Deal]

2. Rooting against the Eagles is anti-american.

That said, If the Eagles lose again, they are going the way of the Bills.

[LionInWinter]

3. They'd be sub-bills ...

at least Buffalo made it to the Big Dance!

5. Un-American? Alas, then that is the way it must be

Besides, I hang out on this board all day. I must hate Amerika. I hate myself for my freedoms......

4. How in hell are the falcons going to score 17?

They aren't as good as the Vikings offensively. Mike Vick is going to have to throw for a lot more than 115 yards to beat the Eagles. The Eagles will go up early forcing Vick to throw, which he can't do. Several picks and sacks later:

Eagles 27
Falcons 9

And the other game, contrary to popular opinion, is going to be a barn-burner. The Steelers are going to go to four wide-receivers and throw throw throw and they will score score score. The Patriots will answer. This game will still come down to a field goal.

Steelers 31
Patriots 28



fixed some spelling

6. Sad delusional liberal......

27-9? Dude, your pills........

Just joshin' ya. I hope it's a good game. :)

[THUNDER HANDS]

maybe you haven't heard

there's a snowstorm a' comin'

I'd be surprised if there's 20 points scored combined in both games.

[Bill McBlueState]

7. hold the Steelers to a touchdown? pfft.

That's the thing about the Steelers. If they're down by 3 with more than a minute left, they'll find a way to score a TD.

But it *will* be as tight as everyone's saying. I think it's going to come down to whoever has the ball last and can kick a last-gasp field goal.

[MrSlayer]

8. Good thing you picked Atlanta.

Thanks. :hi:

[MikeG]

9. Put down the crack pipe.

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. Here's an honest, unbiased prediction

There are so many Pats fans around here, you'd think the Steelers have a snowball's chance of winning. Well, I think they're in for a rude awakening.

Steelers: 24
Pats: 17

Philly is due for a trip to the Big One. They have home field and the cold will do to the birds what it did to the Colts.

Eagles: 31
Falcons: 14

[WilliamPitt]

11. The scoring in both games will be a lot higher than that

unless the weather really gets in the way.
