I'm just glad to see what are probably the 4 best teams playing for a chance at the Super Bowl this year. To handicap it a little bit...

NE vs. Pittsburgh -- sentimental favorite for me is Steelers. Have always been a fan dating back to the dominant teams of the late 70's. NE gets an edge on experience though.

Atlanta vs. Philly -- I like this match up. I'm biased toward the falcons, but I think this will be a good game. The Falcons have flown under the radar of the entire NFL for the whole season until Saturday night. Everyone knows about Vick, but this game could end up having a score of like 6-3 if the weather is bad. The Falcons D is fast and mean. And if the weather is bad, they've got 3 backs, not 2 in at all times, and one of them (Duckett) is a pounder.

On the other hand, Philly has the type of D that can give Vick problems. But if Philly cant get a running game going, McNabb is gonna have Coleman, Kearny and crew hanging all over him all night as well.

I think weather and Michael Vick decide this game. If there's snow on the ground, Vick is neutralized. If it's just cold and very windy, but the ground is in good enough shape to let Vick make his cuts, I wouldn't want to be the defense that has to try to stop him when he's close enough to smell a superbowl.
