Weekend Primer
N.Y. Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles
A classic NFC East rivalry between the Giants and Eagles is usually always a good game. The Giants have one of the top defenses in the league and hope to slow down the Eagles high-powered attack. Eagles running back Brian Westbrook will sit this one out because of an injury and rookie Lesean McCoy should get most of the carries. The key to the game will be if the Giants defense can pressure Donovan McNabb before he gets the ball in the hands of his speedy playmakers.
D.Goard Jr"s Prediction: I'll go with the G-Men, simply because I can't see them losing three straight games. Should be a good one though.
Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers
Brett Favre is going home. It will be his first visit back since he donned the green and yellow over two years age. The Vikings have been very impressive this year on both offense and defense. Adrian Peterson is always a threat and Sidney Rice is looking like Favre's go to receiver at this point. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers has filled in nicely for Favre and it's always tough to win at Lambeau Field.
D.Goard Jr's Prediction: I like the Vikes because for one, the Packers can't protect Aaron Rogers to save their life and also because I think Brett Farve has had this game circled for some time now.
USC Trojans vs Oregon Ducks
This game will most likely determine who will win the Pac-10 crown. USC is loaded with talent as usual, but haven't looked as impressive as they normally do this season. Oregon started slow this year with a loss to Boise State but has really turned it on since.
D.Goard Jr's Prediction: The Trojans are definitely the more talented team, but they've had trouble with Oregon in the past. With the game being in Eugene, I'll go with the Ducks in this one.

Ordinarily, I would pick the eagles. But, they still have some weak spots. So, I'll go along with Giants. Plus Mike Vick is not being utilized the right way. He's a Non-factor.
I like the Vikings on your 2nd pick. It's probably the only reason that Favre came back. Funny thing is that Packer fans may be Favre as well as their team.
I'm going with the Ducks on your 3rd pick. Simply because the Trojans are not as strong this year. But, to be honest I dont know much about the Ducks either.

Lol, the Giants have some serious issues to talk about after that loss.
I figured the Vikes would win because Brett Favre would be so amped up to play the Packers.
I also knew that Oregon's offensive scheme would give the Trojans trouble.

Lee, you just ate your words.
Matt, you should've listened to your gut. The G-Men got it handed to him.

SC wasn't prepared. they should have left a linebacker to spy the qb instead of dropping everyone back to cover. since they couldnt adjust they got torched by oregon's running game.

I guess this will be season 2 and Chris Johnson will go unknown huh? That's ok. I guess we'll see what the BS, oops... BCS comes up with this yr as a final game. I'm sure we'll all watch. Maybe Boise State will play Georgia Tech in the final. Who knows.
