    Let's talk pro football!

    So who's going to make the playoffs this year (and why do you think so)?

    Who's going to win in the playoffs and ultimately, the Super Bowl?

    What have some of the big surprises been for you this season?

    How's your fantasy team doing?

    My fantasy team was based around the Cowboys, and they are not up to snuff this year. When Romo went down with his injury, my team went down. I am trying to salvage a season with Matt Ryan (QB-ATL).

    I think Tennessee just may get it done this year.

    That's funny cuz when I was a kid the Browns were always my 2nd favorite team. Then they disappeared for a while.

    BIG GAME TONIGHT! Eagles and the Giants! A must win for the Eagles! I'm a Giants fan, always have been. Last year was good enough for me. To repeat is not easy, the Giants have a shot,7-1 they will be in the play-offs.

    Huge massive Cowboys fan here. First game I ever remember was the Ice Bowl (1967 Green Bay vs. Dallas). I even go so far as to collect the games, my oldest being the 1970 Monday Night Football game they were shut out 38-0.

    Having said that, Dallas ain't going anywhere this year. Jerry made a huge mistake in hiring Wade Phillips. I said at the time, Jason Garrett was the smarter choice. Phillips is a good defensive coordinator, not great but good, and he's a terrible head coach. This is his third stop and in all 3, he's been very consistent -- poor special teams, high penalties, lack of attention to detail and poor finishes. Those are not ingredients for a great head coach.

    He will be fired at the end of the season. Bank on it.

    At that point, I don't know. I think I'd talk to Cowher and see if he'd be interested, bring on Dom Capers as your defensive coordinator and keep Garrett.

    As for the NFL, I think this is the Giants year, again. I think they repeat. Until Rothesliberger injured his shoulder, I was thinking the Steelers would be the dark horse. Now I don't know if anyone can beat out Tennessee, who has one of the top 3 coaching staffs in the league. If anyone has a chance against New York, I'd lay odds on Carolina or the Eagles. Philly matches up well against the Giants, as do the Panthers. But playing at the Meadowlands in January is a tough, tough place to win if you're the visiting team.

    JIMMY PAGE- I think Tennessee will finally get it done after all these years when they cam so close against St. Louis at the goal line in the Super Bowl years ago. My team the S.F. 49ers sucks big time , I'm just gonna have to be patient and wait for young guys to develop. And see how Mike Singletary does. Anything is an improvement over Mike Nolan ! Anyway Tennessee by 3 points over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl- my call
