No way the NFL Playoffs can stick to the chalk, can they? In a word no, which means I am taking the Giants. Every year there is a team that barely gets in, but when they do they get on a roll. The Steelers rode that wave to a Super Bowl title in 2005, winning 3 road games on their way to winning Super Bowl XL. I know, painful memories. I’m not saying the Giants are going to go that far, but they have all the ingredients to make a serious run. They have alot of talent on defense with arguably the best front-four in the League, and most importantly and hot quarterback. I openly questioned the Giants motivation for playing their starters 4-hard quarters against the Patriots. Color me corrected. The Giants learned alot about themselves and their quarterback, even in defeat, and it showed against the Buccaneers last week. Meanwhile, in Club Phillips, Tony Romo is vacationing with his hoochie-mama in Mexico, preparing for the biggest game in his career I’m sure, and Terrell Owens is hobbled. Lest we forget, the Cowboys haven’t won a playoff game since the mid-90’s and have a home-playoff loss to the Arizona Cardinals in more recent history. They have had a great season, but if they lose this weekend it will be for nothing. Without Owens at 100%, the gaping hoples that Jason Witten has enjoyed all season won’t be there. The Giants will also look to smack Romo every chance they get. It’s the perfect storm, of sorts, for the Giants. They are rolling, the Cowboys are reeling, and oh yea, did I mention how hard it is to beat a team 3 times in the same season? Too hard for the Cowboys.
