Play-off Predictions

NFC Wild Card game one: Lions vs. Eagles--Sanders takes on QB Eagles, but the fact that QB Eagles can both run and legally throw the ball (besides the fact that his recevers can actually catch) carry the day for Travis.

NFC Wild Card game two: Chi-town vs. the Rams. The poor man's San Fran team can't crack the Bear's killer D, and a loss fumble deep in the Ram's own territory allows Nathan a chance to score. Bears move on to face the real San Francisco.

AFC Wild Card game one: Miami vs. Houston. Roomies show down-Alpha vs. Beta. Unlike last year, the computer will not be playing as Miami, Duper will not begin to run as if Hermes himself were possessing his body, and Houston will win (No, i'm not bitter about losing out on my last chance to win the SuperBowl).

AFC Wild Card game two: Bengals vs. Colts. Sorry Wayne, you might be able to pull it out again, but living off campus for too long has taken its toll (plus Garrett's been secertly selling his body to the tecmo gods in exchange for their good graces). Garrett wins by a ten points.

Quarter finals

Philly vs. Redskins. A good game, but underdog Philidelphia watches as QB Eagles pops into excellent, while Monk and Sanders both wind up on the sidelines after being injured in the first and fourth offensive plays for the Skins. TJ still holds on masterfully, pushing the game into OT where a botched kickoff winds up allowing QB Eagles to pick up the ball and return it for the game winning touchdown.

49ers vs. Bears. While the offense of the Rams was managable, San Francisco is simply too much for Winslow to handle. Still, it's not a clear game until the third quarter, when Winslow foolishly calls a run play on the Niner's offense, allowing an oh-so-easy 80 yard pass to Rice. From there on out, the Bears are out.

Houston vs. Bills. Two offensive powerhouses, but Collin's mind game gets the best of Schlegs. (Besides, I should have made it to the SuperBowl with the Oilers--ain't no way theBills are going to get in the way.)

Chargers vs. Bengals. If the Bills-Oilers game's about the pass, this one's all about the effective run game. in the end, Boomer and Icky just edge the Chargers out, but not before Garret has to kiss Israel's Butts for some amazing running gains/touchdowns.

Semi-Finals

Philly vs. S.F.-Philly wins. Provided QB Eagles stays in excellent, avoids injury, and does not fumble the ball, the Eagles will win another close game. In the end, the QB Eagles offense is able to match S.F. point for point, and Barry White and some lucky play calling on Travis's part slows S.F. up just enough so that time runs out as Lindy fumbles with his controller, trying to call a time out or the would-be game-winning field goal.

Oilers vs. Bengals. Did I mention that the Oilers should have made the Superbowl last year?

Superbowl Predictions

QB Eagles squares off against a stellar Houston offense--the same lineup of the Fall/Winter Superbowl when Victor lost to Brinkman. It proves to be a close game, and there are no clear winners going into the Mighty Mighty BombJacks half-time show. Nor does a winner emerge after the second half. First over time comes and passes, but the game remains tied at 17-17. Second overtime. Third OT...and it begins to feel like the Vietnam conflict--dragging on and on. As the fourth OT begins, however, the Oilers recieve the ball and make a huge push. Remincent of the Tet offensive, however, this drive ends in a whimper as Colin gets greedy, goes four and out on deep in eagles territory (rather than taking an easy field goal), and the Eagles rally back. The Oiler's defense cannot keep up for some reason (insufficent libations to the gods?), and the QB Eagles eaks out the win by rushing into the inzone with five seconds left on the clock. (Thought I wanted Houston to win, huh? Eh, it was a toss up. I should have won with the Eagles too).
