    You have injuries to thank for that. Remember, Vince Young is on the cover of Madden 08, and I presume you are familiar with the "Madden Curse." Vince Young was hit with it. Not to mention the Titans went 0-3 when Albert Haynesworth (who I still despise to this day, thanks to his stomping act last year) went down with an injury. Had the Cleveland Clowns (as I call them) not choked against Ocho Cinco, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and the Bengals in Week 16 and the Colts not sat their starters in the second half last week, the Titans would be at home watching the Browns playing against LT2 and the Chargers. That Browns loss to Cincy gave the Titans an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot by virtue of the Conference Record tie-breaker over Cleveland, which they did. So Tennessee did have a few lucky dice roll in their favor.

    However, should Vince Young reaggrivate his injury in any way, don't sleep on his backup, Kerry Collins. Since Young and Collins are two different styles of quarterback, it's gonna be tough for the Chargers to game-plan for both.

    While it is true that Tennessee can stop the run and rush the passer, I will say that their secondary would be a lot more dangerous had the Pacman not gone to a Vegas strip club and "made it rain".

    Jaguars. I think the jags will have little trouble with willie parker gone.
    The Steelers could not beat the Jags in the regular season with Willie Parker in the line-up. So I would say whether or not they did have Willie Parker is irrelevant; simply put, the Jags are a team built for cold and inclement weather, despite the fact that they play their home games in Florida. That's scary, not only for the Steelers, but also for the Pats. However, it appears the Jags' defense is built to stop the run more than it is to stop the pass, which would play right into the Pats' hands, should they meet next week, or in the AFC title game. Abandoning the run is usually equivalent to either suicide, or waving the white flag, but we all know the complete opposite is true when the Pats abandon the run.

    I think the Giants should win but who knows how Eli is going to play. I just don't see tampa doing it this year. maybe next.
    The Giants have had a bad playoff history with a quarterback by the name of Jeff Garcia. The first time, the Giants had the Niners where they wanted them, but Jeff Garcia rallied the Niners to stave off the Giants in a come-from-behind victory. And of course, there's last year, when Jeff Garcia stepped in for Donovan McNabb in the middle of the season and rallied the Eagles to win the NFC East, and beat the Giants in the playoffs. Both times happened in this round of the playoffs. Well, the Giants this year have to take on the Bucs, whose starting quarterback just so happens to be...Jeff Garcia, the man who has tormented them in the playoffs twice already.
