NFL prediction in May

For some people the NFL has no off-season and right now in May there is nothing new to talk about the NFL since the draft is over right?--Wrong!

Now is the perfect time for NFL Predictions.

(Drum Roll Please).......

The Superbowl champions will be The Philadelphia Eagles!

Everyone knows that it takes two years to come back from the ACL surgery and what year is Mcnabb in...? Oh, Brian Westbrook enough said.

Let's move onto the offensive line featuring the best RG in the game with Shawn Andrews, experienced vets like Thomas and Runyan, and mammoth size beasts in Max Jean Gilles and Jamaal Jackson.

The Wide Reciever Corp does need some work but the West Coast is built on the notion of several key guys stepping up-- but one area of weakness.

Moving on to the defense and we all know defenses win championships, the Eagles deefnse in stacked.

Starting with the D-Line boasting Chris Clemons with 10+ sacks, Patterson, Bunkley, and Trent Cole this D-Line is one of the top front four in the league. Not to mention bringing in Thomas, Howard, Abrimi, Smith, and McDougal into the rotation.

Completing the front seven are the linebackers.

Yes, there are young but man are they athletic and talented.

Stewart Bradley looks comfrontable starting in MLB and Gaither and Gocong are speed LB's to hang with any TE's.

But all other areas on this team are overshadowed by the Secondary.

Asante, Lito, and Sheldon (no last name needed) is the best group of corners in the league bar none and Dawkins and Mikkell playing saftey this team will be ball hawking to say the least.

So of course it is only May but right now on paper the Eagles are the team to beat.

Why all the hype for Sunday's Game?

So for those of you that do not watch ESPN or any sports related channel or read any sports pages there is a much hyped game in the NFL being played on Sunday featuring the last two undefeated teams, the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. The first in league history that two undefeated teams met this late into the season.

This game has been dubbed by many as "Super Bowl 41 1/2" but lets just hold on for one second. The loser of this game will still be playing next week. These two teams will still be number 1 and 2 in all power rankings and oh this game won't change anybody's opinion on who will actually win the super bowl.

Suppose you're a Colts fan and the Cotls lose. I gurantee that the arguements made will be that both Marvin Harrison and Tony Ugoh are injured, so the Colts weren't at full strength.

Conversly, if you're a Patriots fan and the Pats lose then I can hear it now, "We were playing at the RCA Dome (In Indy)" said every Pats fan. I bet Skip Bayless will probably say some convulated argument that the Patriots were partying with the Red Sox this week, if they lose.

So yes, I will be watching this game just like everyone else but honestly think about it-will this game really change anyone's opinion?
