NFL Super Bowl-Up For Grabs

Before the NFL season kicked off most people might have said yes the Cowboys have a chance to become the first team in NFL history to play the Super Bowl on their home field. A new billion dollar stadium on display Jerry Jones openly talked of the Cowboy chances. It only took one preseason game to give Cowboy fans a look at the over rated Cowboys who never got any better after that.

So the race is wide open for who ever wins the Super Bowl. New England and Atlanta have the best records heading into the final seven days but is there any team in the playoffs scared of either team. New England can be an offensive machine when they are in the groove and then lose at Cleveland. Why I feel this way I do not know but Atlanta is the San Diego of this years playoffs. One and Done.

The Bears and the Steelers are right behind the leaders in their leagues. Jay Cutler is a four interception game waiting to happen. Put a little pressure on him and he loses any concept of fundamentals. Since Big Ben's return from his suspension their offense has been stale.

Philadelphia and Michael Vick's come back is a bigger story than Brett Farve's. Lost in all the Vick clamour is the best player in football is DeShawn Jackson. Kansas City got better under the pressure from San Diego when they had their quarterback Cassell on the field.

The defending Super Bowl champs New Orleans is playing as good as anybody. Remember the Ravens kicked New England's butt at New England last year. They just might wind up there again this season.

There may be a team in the playoffs with a losing record with St Louis or Seattle. Neither scares the Panthers who is close to the worse in the league. Indy still trying to get in a far cry from last year when they laid down in a game and gave away an undefeated season. Jacksonville isn't dead yet. The only question for Jacksonville is how are they still alive.

Green Bay and the Giants, one probably will not make the playoffs depending on the Atlanta -New Orleans game tonight. Green Bay would be one team I wouldn't want to play while as long as Eli quarterbacks the Giants they always have a chance to lose.

If you think you know who is going to win the Super Bowl, your are a good guesser. Just six weeks to go before we know who wins the Super Bowl but we must add this disclaimer this year. Weather permitting.
