> [@EllisDee](#): > > If we’re living in la-la land, both the undefeated Colts and undefeated Saints get knocked out of the conference championship games by the two New York teams, who go on to play a subway superbowl with the Giants eeking out a hard faught 23-17 victory in the last minute of overtime. Barack Obama and Ray Charles will be the starting quarterbacks, and Pauly Shore will rush for the game-winning touchdown… behind the block of Osama bin Laden. ---

That was an awesome game. Dallas finally effin’ played like they’re capable of doing. One thing that made it even more enjoyable was the low number of penalties and good clean play by both teams. After it was over they showed genuine sportsmanship in their congratulations to each other and way cool was the applause the Saints fans gave their team, despite the loss, for going 13-0 and for a fine effort tonite. Some weeks Dallas really tries my patience. Tonite, not so much. We still need a primary WR to accompany Austin (and Creighton) though. Roy sucks. WR, kicker, GM… ---

I think the Eagles would have a better shot against the Giants than they would with the Cowboys. Philly has had some success against NY recently. They really don’t match up well with Dallas at all. ---

So the G-men swept the 'boys and the 'skins, and got swept by the dirty birds. If they can beat the Panthers, and (hopefully) beat the Vikings, they may have a shot. But, the 'boys will almost certainly take the 'skins, and I have no idea who might win with them against the Iggles. ---

**Week 16** Min @ Chi - I assume Min will win this one Den @ Phi - Hope Den wins, leaving Dal possibly sitting pretty, but not banking on it Dal @ Was - Dal will win but don’t put it past Was to put up a fight Car @ NYG - Car beat Min, so who knows? **Week 17** Phi @ Dal - Of course, Dal to win 😃 NYG @ Min - If Min beats Chi & Phi beats Den, then Min will play NYG tough to prevent Phi from possibly catching Min from behind in the standings. Both of these games in Week 17 are 1:00 pm Eastern kickoffs, so Min will not know whether they are fighting off Phi before the NYG @ Min game starts. I guess Min will be watching the Phi @ Dal scoreboard throughout the game, hoping for a Dal win. NYG will be hoping for a Phi win, if NYG can get past Car. ---

> [@Bearflag70](#): > > **Week 16** > Den @ Phi - Hope Den wins, leaving Dal possibly sitting pretty, but not banking on it The Eagles don’t match up well with Denver. I don’t think Denver is good enough everywhere to beat the Eagles easily, but it’s going to be close. Probably 50/50. > [@](#): > > **Week 17** > > Phi @ Dal - Of course, Dal to win 😃 How quickly and easily you forget what happened the last time these two teams met on the final week of the season in the exact same circumstances. I’ll refresh your memory by saying that you would have lost if you took Dallas **+35**. ---
