Hi, I am not taking credit for this information, just passing it along. On another site, someone stated that the team who beats the SB champs is 0 - 10 ATS the follwoing playoff game, this over the last 10 years, this would mean that Phily looses. Has anyone ever heard of this stat, I have not. This obviously could be made up or some very bad mis-information. Second, I just head of something that is called the Defensive Hog Index, this index is a compilation of how each team's defensive front seven ranks in three key catagories:ability to stop the run, ability to force opponents into negative pass plays which are sacks and interceptions, ability to stop opponents on third downs. According the this index here are the rankings for our four playoff teams. # 1 is PITT, # 2 is PHILY, # 3 is BALT these 3 rank exactly in this order, our 4th playoff team who is ARZ ranks # 17. Additional informatoin. This Defensive Hog Index has identified 18 of 19 winners SU not ATS over the past two post seasons. The only team that has bucked the system so far is the Pats in the AFC title game last year. The Pats ranked # 7 in the index and the Chargers ranked # 5. A very narrow difference here, much like the narrow difference this year between Pitt and Balt. Their is a huge gap in between Philly and ARZ. Share your thoughts opinions etc. GL
I would thow that trend out. I cant see the Birds letting down after beating the giants. They expected to win AGAIN in NY and came up big. They've been here before and been disapointed. They are not about to waste this, what might be McNabb's final, opportunity as an Eagle! Azizona's just glad to be here.The Eagles big game experience will win out in the end! Not to mention Jim Johnson's defense is going to make Kurt Warner wish he was back stockin shelves!
