Who do you think got the better end of this deal?

Philadelphia goes to the Super Bowl or any other NFC team goes to the Super Bowl. Even Money.

I'll agree with you there. The other 3 NFC teams are really nothing special. The Rams and Vikes shouldn't even be in the playoffs, nevermind the divisional playoffs. The Falcons are good, but how successful can they be against a good D like Philly in a situation where Vick might have to actually throw the ball? Not to take anything away from Michael Vick because he's an amazing athlete, but forcing him to stay in the pocket and throw the ball is the equivalent of making Peyton Manning scramble out of the pocket.

I don't think any of the remaining teams has a legitimate shot to beat Philly unless they play an unbelievable game.

I'm still sayin Philly vs. New England in the Super Bowl. Bias? Maybe a little

Considering Philly was 12-4 against the spread this year (12-2 if you don't count the last two meaningless games).

Fail to see your logic based on that.

Fudged the numbers too, 9-5 ATS not counting last two games (was skewing based on their hot 9-3 ATS start)

Thanks for the input, but I took the field.

I feel like Philly is sleeping at this point and Minnesota can pull the upset this week. Philly isn't the team that it was 8 weeks ago. If Minnesota doesn't pull it out, I still have a shot with the Falcons or Rams to finish the job.

I guess we'll see what happens.
