Another interesting side note: The teams that have played the Patriots within a couple of scores this year, well check out some of the stats of the QBs the week after their respective Patriot games. It's insane. Interceptions aplenty. It's like teams get so jacked up to play the Patriots the next week is a huge let down.

My prediction: Giants 24 Bucs 20

Most everyone is picking the Chargers in the other  game, but I see several problems with that. First, Tennessee can play the run. If Albert Haynesworth can give them 3/4ths of a game, then Tennessee has a legitimate shot to win this game. If they can slow down LT, and give Philip Rivers more responsibility to force him into some mistakes, then this could be an interesting game. As for the Titans offense, I'm on the Kerry Collins boat. I think he gives the Titans a better chance to win. Running the ball is tough against the Chargers so the passing game will be crucial. I would rather have Kerry Collins throwing the ball than throwing up every time I see VY's throwing motion. And, as far as I know, VY is not 100%.

My prediction: Chargers 31 Titans 17

CBS>FOX

Can we get a QB like that please?

Giants 24  Buccaneers 14
(I just can't believe in any team coached by Gruden.)

Titans 21  Chargers 17
(Oooooh!  But you shut down the Chargers running game and they've got nothing.  I think Jeff Fisher has a lot up his sleeve, including benching Vince if he's not up to par.)

Re: Eli -- I think his biggest problem is his brother Peyton.  If he wasn't constantly compared to him, he'd be considered a decent (not stellar, but OK and growing) QB.  I feel for the kid.

I was listening to the "Barber Shop" on Sirius a couple weeks ago, Tiki and Ronde's show, and going into the last game of the season, Ronde said their only goal was to get Graham 1,000 yards.  Anyone know if he got it?

But hey, I could be totally wrong.

I guess their defense still has it.

I think the Giants have the potential to beat just about anyone, but rarely put it all together.

The Bucs are solid, not outstanding, but solid all around.

I would say I would rather play the Bucs.   They probably want to stay away from those divisional games trying to beat NY 3 times in one season.

This is an interesting chess match with the Bucs defense.  I imagine they're trying to bait him a bit.

I bet it won't last long...

Also, I think that kerry collins would be a big mistake. I am about 95% sure that VY is going to play. The only reason they wont announce it is because right now the chargers have to gameplan for 2 completely different qbs. Also, I would not want to see kerry collins in there either. The only reason he looks good when he plays is that he is always coming in after VY, a running qb, is injured. The biggest reason the run game is so successful in Tennesse is because of vinces ability to run the ball as well.

Personally, i think LT is a punk baby who cries to much and hopefully albert, odom, and kyle vb send him back to the bench to yell at phillip a little more.

Titans win this one in the forth quarter.

See what happens when Eli plays well?  The Giants become a damn good team.

b) Tennessee on the board first.

If only I could have been so accurate when it came to the Chiefs...
