Should probably make some predictions before the games start

Jets vs. Steelers
I agree with most of what the Godfather wrote, and I do believe the Jets have a chance to win. There is one thing the Godfather did not mention, however: Pennington's stomach flu. Yes, Penningotn will probably be find, but we need to remember that the flu is contagious. Could Pennington have handed off some germs to Curtis Martin as he handed him the ball? Jet fans better hope that Martin is a good hand washer.

I think both quarterbacks will be asked not to lose the game, so we'll see pretty conservative football. This will be a mistake for the Jets because the Steelers have more talent. So unless the Jets' coaches have a lobotomy and become aggressive on offense, here's my score:
Steelers 24 Jets 13

Rams vs. Falcons
I've read that the Rams could be coming together at the right time, and this could mean trouble for the NFC. I just don't see the evidence of the Rams improving much. Sure they beat the Jets at home and the Seahawks on the road, but the Jets didn't need to win that game and the Seahawks are the Seahawks. Also, I don't trust Martz coming up with a game plan to stop Michael Vick. I can see Vick rushing for 150 yards today: Falcons 28 Rams 17

Eagles vs. Vikings
I've had no respect for the Eagles since last year's playoffs. I don't trust Reid's coaching in big games, I don't trust McNabb's accuracy in big games, and I have no respect for their competition. Many Eagles stars haven't played significant football in over month; it will take them time to get the rust off. Also, as I mentioned before, the Eagles offense has not had a good game since they beat up the Packers defense in early December.

I thought the Vikings were going to be much better than a .500 team this year. If it wasn't for Manning, everybody would be talking about the season Culpepper has had. I also liked what I saw last week from the Vikings attitude-wise. That "us against the world" thing seems to work sometimes. My concerns about the Vikings are Moss's ankle, a dome team playing outside in January, the Vikings' defense, and Mike Tice. The fact that I'm picking this flawed 8 and 8 team to beat the Eagles shows what little respect I have for Philly. The Philadelphia championship drought continues: Vikings 35, Eagles 10
