Week 14: Power Rankings

The Snow Has Arrived . . .


I went 13-2 in my game picks! The crazy weather and insane finishes made this weekend one of the best ever. The snowstorms that affected many of the game were awesome. The storm in Philadelphia was the worse with the snow piling up on the field and the players trying to play through it. Watching football in the snow while I am at home nice and warm is such a good feeling. From now on, the weather will effect how the games will be played. I believe it is a good thing because the Super Bowl is a cold city, so by the time the two teams get there, the players will be ready.

The 3 games I analyzed were full of excitement and should be a primer for the playoffs.


Eagles 34, Lions 20

McCoy and the Eagles flew
through the snow to a big win.

Megatron was shutdown due to the
snow giving a crucial loss to Detroit.

49ers 19, Seahawks 17

A big run by Gore in the 4th propelled the Niners to
a much needed win against the hated Seahawks.

Saints 31, Panthers 13

The Saints gave Carolina a serious reality check as they
take a 1 game lead in the race for the NFC South.
