Vegas Hags Pigskin Picks

How `bout them Birds!!! Anyone who expected the Eagles to be in the final 8 when the season started is either crazy or lying! Is three times the charm? Can the Eagles actually get to the NFC Championship game? Read on…

New Orleans (+8 ½) at Minnesota The Saints are actually playing better without Ricky Williams and Jeff Blake. Aaron Brooks looks super, but without Joe Horn the run ends. Vikings by 10

Miami (+9) at Oakland What a great comeback last week by the Dolphins! The Raiders got a week to rest and the Dolphins should be spent. Raiders by 13

Baltimore (+6) at Tennessee The game of the week in the AFC. What a butt kickin` the Ravens laid on the Broncos last week! This should be a close, nasty one decided late by DelGreco. Titans by 3

Philadelphia (+4) at NY Giants Repeat after me…Giants suck! Giants suck! I think the Giants are scared to face the Eagles again. They know this isn`t the same team (on either side of the ball) that they beat twice this year. Even though the Giants laid 2 beatings on the Birds earlier in the year, no NFL team wants to have to win 3 games in the same season against the same opponent. It is tough to do. I think these are the best two teams left from the NFC and the winner goes to the Super Bowl. Yes, the Eagles have a legitimate shot at the big one if they can win here. This should be a hard fought, ugly battle, but I think McNabb and Reid have the whole team believing. E-A-G-L-E-S…Eagles!!! Birds by 3

Last week: 3-1 against the spread, 3-1 straight up.
