Naw, Eagles will win. They've been here three times, they won't let this one slip away.
I don't buy that. If they were ment to win one, they'd have won last year, when they had a better team, were playing their last place in the best HFA stadium in the league before this year, and were facing an opponent that had never won a game in weather that cold in franchise history, and had that fact pounded into them all during the playoffs. They lost.

Of course, you can't count out Mr. Donavan F. McNabb, but the record shows that it will be hard. They're facing a team built to exploit their weaknesses, and that has the potential to negate their main strength.

Eagles or Panthers though... it doesn't really matter, seeing as the team that deserves this the most is the Colts. Sunday it will be 33 w/ a few snow showers, pretty decent weather for being Foxboro, Manning is no pussy, he can throw into the snow just like Brady, if not better. Hopefully they advance on Sunday and beat the NFC team in the Superbowl.
Manning has never beaten the Patriots under Belicheck outdoors, I believe. Being a pussy has very little to do with it, it's whether he can stand up to a defense that can scheme to anyone in football, in conditions that he isn't used to.

I think both will be great games, though.

Panthers 17 Eagles 14

Patriots 24 Colts 20
