The stage is set for another classic duel of Brady vs. Manning... Eli Manning. If anyone asked me who I thought would come out on top of this match-up at mid-season it's likely that I would've punched them in the head, and never spoken to them again for fear of associating myself with such a astonishing imbecile. However, it's not mid-season anymore and going into the final game of the year these two teams aren't nearly the same as they were then. Their leaders under center have transformed dramatically over the past few weeks, and it has changed the face of the Super Bowl dramatically as well. We might have a game on our hands after all.

This just in people: The New England Patriots did not lose to the Steelers, as the jaw-jacking back-up safety Anthony Smith so cleverly predicted. Oh, I'm sorry, guaranteed. Not only did they once again step in the face of adversity and come out the winners, but they did so with the kind of confidence we have never seen. And what's so wrong with that? When Tom Brady stepped toward Anthony Smith after his touchdown throw late in the game, he was met with onslaughts of insults from the Steelers defenders, as well as later criticism from reporters and people all around the league, calling him classless.

Boy, was this a strange, and quite honestly, depressing week of professional football.

Another week in the NFL, another line of questions. Is the victory over the Colt's, as Norv Turner would say, truly a turning point? Are the Packers for real? No, the Colt's defeat doesn't mean the Colt's are losing out or going to miss the playoffs, and no it doesn't mean the Chargers have got their magic back. But yes, the Packers and Brett Favre in all his glory, are for real. And they're here to stay, moving up to number three. (2025 words in story) Full Story By kroberts, Section NFL
With every writer giving their opinion on each team, and why or why not they're living up to expectations, I felt forced to give mine as well. Yes, the Packers are going to the playoffs, and yes, the Chargers are as bad as they look. Want to find out more? just continue reading.

I thought the Patriots-Chargers divisional round clash was a great game. It had a lot of bizarre plays, an exciting ending, and plenty of star power. But yesterday's AFC Championship was like that to the tenth power--an intense game with plenty of momentum changes, almost like an episode of "24." The Colts' 38-34 victory over their archrival Patriots was one for the ages, a game that any true sports fan who watched it will remember for the rest of his life.

Last week's divisional playoff games were an absolute riot. Like most years, those four games provided a weekend of football that is hard to top. Every game featured big-time surprises, and all but one had down-to-the-wire endings. Could anyone have predicted that both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady would have sub-par games, yet their teams would still win? This is what the playoffs are all about: discovering things about each team that the regular season could not show, answering all questions, and delivering an undisputed champion. The Final Four is set, and each team absolutely deserves to be there. (4 comments, 1741 words in story) Full Story By djcfla1, Section NFL
By David J. Cohen The NFC is the perfect example of what parity has done to the league. It has made teams competitive which have been awful the year before. With parity, you can go through Hurricane Katrina one year and earn a bye the next. Parity has also made mediocrity a premium. The 8-8 Giants are in the playoffs, and teams like Green Bay were still in it going into the last week of the regular season. The playoff picture in the NFC is murky, with no clear cut choice. With that said, here is how it should play out. (4 comments, 5990 words in story) Full Story By Jackson Govatos, Section NFL
Week 7 might have been this year's craziest for the NFL. A 62 yard field goal on the final play of the game? A 31-13 home loss for a team that went 10-0 on their turf in 2005? A win for the Raiders? What's going on with the NFL? There are some questions that can be answered though. Here they are: (3 comments, 1795 words in story) Full Story By djcfla1, Section NFL
By David J. Cohen The Patriots have given disgruntled WR Deion Branch permission to seek a trade with another team. This comes after weeks of failed contract negotiations between the Pats and Branch. This includes two denied offers from the Patriots: the first, a 3-year deal worth $18.75 million with $8 million guaranteed; the second, a 5-year extension worth $31 million. Branch has until September 1st to find a deal elsewhere. (3 comments, 2004 words in story) Full Story
