Sorry I didn't change many teams. I tried to change the order as much as possible though.


You think tampa bay will beat the giants? No, i'd have to disagree. They were 9-7 in the weak south division. They have a decent team but nothing to bark at. The Giants just played the Patriots very good but yet their on your list 2nd to go? Wow, I'm not saying just because of the Patriots game but it was their last and most recent game. 85% of the nation on espn said that the Gianst were smart for playing their starters and i believe so myself. The Gianst have a little momentum going in. The steelers are good but they don't have fast willie. I think that set up thier demise. At least we both know Vince Young can't hang in the playoffs. Tenneesee looked good at the beginning of the season but tailed off. They do have a great field goal kicker and alright d but Vince is actually the question mark for me.

* Tampa Bay in the league
19th in pts
18th in yards
16th in pass yards
11th in rushing

*Giants
14th in pts.
16th in yards
21st in pasing yards
4th in rushing yards!

There it is folks. Votes on you.


Yes I do think Tampa will beat the Giants. The Giants played well against the Patriots, but there is one thing the Bucs did that the Giants didn't. Rest. The Bucs have rest while the Giants gave it their all in a game against the Patriots. Eli had a good game, but that's because the Giants created mismatches. PLAXICO BURRESS AGAINST ELLIS HOBBS?! How can any quarterback not take advantage of that? Also, the Giants are missing Kawika Mitchell, Sam Madison, and Shaun O'Hara.

Eli was inconsistent during the regular season and didn't always come through when he needed to. Do you honestly think that is going to change? Especially in the playoffs? Eli will be rattled by the best passing defense in the league.

Also, you say momentum. The Redskins have plenty of momentum. Much more than the Giants.

I have a question for you. Why did you leave off defensive stats? Maybe because Tampa Bay is much better defensively than the Giants?

Tampa Bay
3rd in points
2nd in yards
1st in pass yards
17th in run yards

New York
17th in points
7th in yards
11th in pass yards
8th in run yards

You know what they say, defence wins championships.


Tampa Bay
3rd in points
2nd in yards
1st in pass yards
17th in run yards - that's the key my friend. Brandon Jacobs ring a bell?


Thanks to Eli Manning's inconsistency and their stellar pass defense, Tampa Bay is capable of focusing mostly on the running game. Therefore, they will be capable of slowing Brandon Jacobs down. Also, the Giants are missing a great blocker in Shaun O'Hara, their veteran center. Brandon Jacobs may have a good game, but even so, he isn't capable of carrying an entire team. You need a mistake free passing game to win. Eli Manning is most certainly not mistake free.

The Bucs don't give up deep passes very often. The Giants love to go deep with Plax. Therefore Eli will have to be patient. Eli? Patient? In the playoffs?!

New York
17th in points

Tampa Bay
3rd in points.

Hmmm, seems like Tampa gives up less points per game than the Giants do. Just to clue you in, when a team gives up more points than the other team, they lose.

Also, hasn't Garcia knocked the Giants out of the playoffs twice before?

Chargers,J-ville, Patriots, Cowboys, Packers, Colts,and even the Giants all have a better chance in my opinion.

Chargers- hot/ LT DEFENSE and GATES When their in trouble
J-ville-running game and one of the best d's in the league
Patriots-do i need to say 16-0 again
Cowboys- have homefield
Packers-legend at quarterback and defense is pretty good
Colts-peyton and bob sanders
Giants-impressive last regular season game/Sacks leader/ Jacobs
and
Redskins-hot but not that hot/ Todd collins playoffs?
Tennessee-Vince Young is good but how good in the playoffs?
Seattle- it was hard putting them up there but had to
ALL save some more for later

That's just silly and you know it. Or you don't and you are just an idiot. Which is it?

Ya think?

The Bucs have exactly FOUR wins outside of the NFC South. In the NFC EAST? They'd finish behind Philly, easily. Absolutely the weakest playoff team there is.

such hostility.

i guess that means you think the NFC is going to win?

the top 5 AFC teams are all superior to any of the NFC qualifiers. the titans are the only AFC team that belong on the list.

" then how about moving seattle up since they palyed in the crappy NFC west..again I ask the question who has Seattle played? NO BODY. Their best win all year was week one against TB they didn't beat any other playoff teams, and lost to marginally good teams...Seattle is not for real

Umm....genius....Tampa was 5-1 in the NFC South. They didn't even try the last two games, resting their starters for the playoffs. If they had played their starters, they'd be 11-5. Some people pay no attention at all.

Uhhh, fellas? Every team in the playoffs has a chance to win the Superbowl. Nobody has won it yet, that's why they play the game. Don't give the ring to the Pats until they actually get there and win it. The TD should have read something like, "List the most likely teams to lose in the playoffs, in order of the scheduled appearances". No vote.
