When looking at this weeks games don't put much stake into, what happened last week especailly with the philly game.
t.b. roughed up a dismantled s.f. secondary. mcnabb was rusty from the time off. which warrants this line being a little smaller then what it should be.
i am not falling into the chris berman tampa bay superbowl hype. this team has still not proven in can win an important game on the road when needed. even more so when its cold. sapp has disappeared the last 2 playoff games at philly. tampa' passing game cannot spread the field. philly can get away with single cover in this game thus being able to stack the line and stop the rushing game. and if philly is successful at stopping the run look for them to tee offf on b. johnson.
on the other hand philly has the more superior passing game. mcnabb can also spread the field by his running game. which we will see alot more of this weekend. philly's secondary is the best in the nfl. tampa will have a player shadowing mcnabb thus freeing up the tight end which will be crucial. look for philly te's to have a big part in the short passing game this weekend. philly's biggest edge will come though via special teams. mitchell is a threat everytime he touches the ball. field position will be critical and this edge should go to philly.
this game will be tight early but tampa should fade in the second half as usual and philly will march on.
philly 24 - 9
the late game i can see a totally different outcome. tenn has a shot. a very good shot.
