Hey guy's,
I was very adamant about my felling on the Tampa,San Fran game last week. I do think the NFL wanted to see the 49ers out of the playoffs because of the mistakes that were made to keep them in the week before.As I pointed out in another thread there were only 70 yards difference in the game,aand that was with the 49'ers playing 2 safeties at corner and every single offensive lineman playing with banged up ankle's.Tampa had the luxury of playing at home,well rested,and in this capper's opinion,the benefit of the doubt on EVERY call in the game. Having said that:

Today they go on the road,(according to Raymond it's 12 degrees and windy),playing an opponet that has owned them.Tampa has been very average vs. the top level team's this year.They are facing one today.This defense is awesome.They will blitz early and often.If you watched the 49'er game last week,you saw them struggle BIG TIME in that situation.The corner-wide reciever match-up greatly favor's Philly also_On the other side of the ball you have to be impressed that the Eagle's offense has clicked right along REGARDLESS of who was playing QB.The fact that McNabb came back in his first game in month's and didn't miss a beat,speak's volume's of how what kind of rhythm this unit is in.

Tampa has only won 2 of there last 11 on the road vs. a winning opponet,while Philly has won 90% of their home games by a touchdown or more this season.I would say that's pretty dominate.Bottom line is Philly is the better team,I know it seems like everyone and their brother is picking the Eagle's,why wouldn't they?The only angle I find that favor's the Buc's is simply the contrarian.That's not enough for me.

Philadelphia -4 4 units:yup


I'll be back later with any total play's and the late game

bird, you're right on the MONEY with backing philly today. temp in the mid 20's and the wind is howling at a steady 15-25 mph.tb has not scored an offensive td against philly in 3 games, what makes people think they will score today:shrug: . jim johnson's defense will step up to the challenge once again and prove to the league what team has the best defense. the eagles offense will have it's share of problems today but they get enough points on the board to win by 10-14. i,m sticking with philly 19-6. brad johnson, keyshon johnson, mike alstott, are you kidding me, EAGLES "D" will dominate this football game plus the cold windy conditions spell an easy eagles victory. see ya in SAN DIEGO;)

Nice writeup and I agree with the reasoning of playing TB only as a contrarion play. However, if Philly's D does dominate like they can, and should, how come the over? Unless you see a rout and Philly doing most of the scoring. :firing:

the game will be won by Tampa Bays defense scoring on turnovers. That way B Johnson just coasts.

contrarion play on the over but not with the side?. That don't make sense to me.

Tampa Bay crushs


Good Luck mj

Hey Unicorn, My thinking is Philadelphia is a strong play,I think they respond early and play with alot of emotion early on.(unlike last week vs. the Falcons). I think they take over before halftime and put the Buc's in a catch-up situation,much like Tampa did to San Fran last week.In games like that you see teams put more points on the board than usual. That's my thinking on the play.I also expect both offense's to be working with a short field,and in situation's where the offense's start deep in their own territory I expect an el' cheapo score.I look for a special team's score also.Now you know my thinking,I guess now I just pray I'm right.;)
