NFL Takes Center Stage

The next two weekends the NFL will have double headers both Saturday and Sunday.  Every game will have national coverage  and you can expect frozen Tundra in some areas.  Who's going to win let's take a look at what could happen.

Kansas City at Indianapolis:  There was a point in the season that KC's defense was by far the best in the NFL but injuries started to mount and all five losses have happen since the injury bug.  They played just two weeks ago in KC and it was all Colts.   I am still not sold on Indy but I do think they win this one. Colts 23 Chiefs 17.

San Diego at Cincinnati:  If you didn't catch the hint from yesterday I think the winner of this game makes it to the Super Bowl.  They played five weeks ago in SD and the Chargers have three turnovers inside the Bengals 30 yard line and Cincy won 17-10.   No telling what kind of weather there might be. Yes I'm picking SD, the Chargers defense has has all 11 starters the last four weeks and they were all wins.  Philip Rivers is 8-2 all time with the temp under 40 degrees. And one of those losses was in New England when he played with no knee ligaments.  Should Cincy win I still think the winner of this game plays in a Super Bowl.  Chargers  26 Bengals 21.

New Orleans at Philadelphia:  This New Orleans team has not been very good on the road.  Here again no telling what kind of weather they will face.  Remember New Orleans plays inside and I quite frankly am disappointed with the way NO finished the season.  I would not be shocked if Philly makes it to the Super Bowl.  Eagles 27 Saints 17.

San Francisco at the Frozen Tundra:  Will not have to worry about field being frozen before game starts as Green Bay learned from the 1967  heating of the field with tarp on.  I just don't think Green Bay's defense is healthy enough but I don't see the 9ers offense is one that scares me to death.  This may be the lowest scoring game of weekend.  San Fran 20 Packers 17 .

If this comes to past that will send San Diego to Denver and Colts to the Pats next weekend.  Philly will come to Carolina Andy SF would go to the rainy Northwest to Seattle.
