The Week 13 Sunday Night Game (Subject to Change) as of right now is Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings. Which Week 13 game do you think should be the Sunday Night game? Let your opinion heard.

Note: NY Giants vs. Washington Redskins is not eligible because Sunday/Thursday Night Football cannot broadcast 2 teams playing each other twice in the same regular season.

Arizona Cardinals got "HOT" just at the right time.  They pick the post season to do so.  This high powered offense with a quick strike attack is too much for the Pittsburgh defense.  The Steelers let the SD Chargers score 24 points against the number 1 defense in the Division play offs and at home!  What do you think the Cardinals are going to do?  Offense wi ...(more)

Since the very first Super Bowl, when a favored team wins, they cover the spread over 80% of the time.  There have only been 5 Super Bowls where a favored team failed to cover the spread when they won.

He had a very bad win % in the regular season but ended it off with a the right pick ATS. Anyways, I feel sorry for all who took Cards ML and Steelers ATS, actually no i don't. What a fantastic game to end it off, until next year.......... take NE Pats to win bowl at 6-1 / 8-1. Cheers.

Every lock I have come out with has hit so far in the playoffs. I took  a home dog with the Chargers during Wild Card weekend and won. I took a divisional road dog with the Eagles and won in the Divisional Round. I then took a divisional home favorite with the Steelers and won in the AFC Championship.

I am willing to play different teams in different situations and I have been succ ...(more)

NFC Championship

#6 Philidelphia Eagles @ #4 Arizona Cardinals- This is a good matchup between to very hot teams. Both teams are coming off blowout wins and are led by veteran QBs. I just see Phily comin out with a victory in this one because the Eagles have a better runnung game! The Eagles will control the clock and McNabb will kill the Cardinals on 3rd down! Warner keeps the Cardinal ...(more)

Well I first was going with Pit-6.5,but the more I think about it the Cards have shown they can play against any defense. I know Pit has the number 1 defense,but when you have the two best wide outs in the the game on your team with Warner throwing to them,it's hard not to take the points especially getting 7. I also like the under. I was watching Super Bowl 36 witht he Rams/Pats,and I think th ...(more)
