Wow it has been a while

Wow I have not updated this in quite some time, completely my fault, no excuses just been straight up lazy. Alot going on in sports right now, the one thing on my mind is Chicago Bears football. Everyone wrote the bears off this year, but that's another story for another time, with the playoffs right around the corner that's what I want to talk about. Now if the season were to end today the NFC match ups would be Packers at Eagles and Saints at Rams, with the Falcons and Bears having first round byes. In the AFC you have the first round match ups of Jets at Chiefs and Ravens at Colts, and the Patriots and steelers receiving first round byes. (THESE MATCH UPS ARE NOT FINAL) Now these are some interesting match ups of some good football teams. Starting in the NFC Packers/Eagles is a great game, many had the Packers in the super bowl to start the year and now they are fighting for a playoff entrance against the story everyone is talking about; Mike Vick's triumphant comeback to the NFL. The key to this game in my opinion is the Packers offense staying healthy. The Pack have struggled to keep a healthy o-line to protect Aaron Rodgers (Rodgers with two concussions this year, one sidelining him for a game). The Packers defense is very strong with veteran leader Charles Woodson in the secondary along with a very young but very strong linebacker core (not taking away from a good defensive line). The defense can handle the potent Eagles offense even with Desean Jackson going off as of late. I would love to see the Eagles win this game but my heart is telling me if the Packers do in fact make the playoffs they will be one of the most dangerous six seeds ever. The next NFC matchup is the Saints vs Rams. The NFC West is the biggest joke in the NFL right now. The winner of that Division will likely be under .500. In my opinion the Rams will end up winning this pitiful division, and at least have a better chance of competing in a playoff game compared to the awful awful seahawks. With this game I'm gonna go ahead and say the saints win against either of its opponents. Im not a fan of the saints but that was an impressive win vs the division leading Falcons yesterday in Atlanta. Pierre Thomas looked on point now that he is finally back and healthy, Drew Brees did not look bad either. What also impressed me was the defense holding down Matt Ryan and the Atlanta offense who plays VERY WELL at home.
