Cardinals/Saints

Wiley: The biggest key is Kurt Warner, he finds a way to win in the Post Season. You saw it against Green Bay. A lot of passing ability especially across the middle. He gets all of his receivers involved.

Wiley: Darren Sharper tries to disguise his coverage to get interceptions. However, Kurt Warner has seen it all and will not be fooled. Kurt Warner will have the patience.

Carry over effect from the Cardinals' last game?

Golic: Adrenalene will kick in. In my opinion, I would rather be the Cardinals then the Saints. The Saints were shakey at the end and the Cardinals are flying high

Wiley: A Regular Season short week there are more distractions. In the Playoffs, this is do or die time. You may not be talking to your wife and kids right now.

How do you stop Drew Brees?

Wiley: The receiving core was the difference in Green Bay. Green Bay has more depth at Wide Receiver. Yes, the Saints have good players but Drew Brees byes time in the pocket to complete passes. But is he going to get that time? If Drew Brees has time, it will be a long game. The Dallas Cowboys showed the formula to get to Drew Brees and I don't think he will have time.



Colts/Ravens?

Wiley: The key is has the rest turned to rust for the Colts. This not a team that does well when they rest. Ray Rice will be factor. If he gets off to a fast start, it will be over for the Colts. He has the ability to keep Peyton Manning on the sideline.

Put any stock into the First Game?

Wiley: Ray Rice was catching the ball well in that game, he had 60 yards catching. The Colts were 10-0 and they only won by 2 points. The Ravens are a better team now and took the Colts best shot.

Force Flacco to beat them?

Golic: That Colts defense looks awful but other times they step up. They are undersized and have not had Bob Sanders. Their defense is a crap shoot. If they start to get run on it is over. However, we have seen the Colts have the ball for only 15 minutes and win.

Wiley: The Colts defense feeds off the Colts Offense. It is important for the Colts to get off to a fast start.

Golic: There were no sacks in the that first game as well


Cowboys/Vikings?


Wiley: The key will be up front. The Cowboys are playing good football, esepcially on defense. Tony Romo is playing great. When you look at the Vikings, you wonder what they are going to do up front. We have seen them play well and play bad as well. Is Flozell Adams going to be able to hold up against Jared Allen?

Golic: This is line game. Adrian Peterson has not had a 100 game in the last 7 games. I lean towards the Cowboys. If the game is going to be up to Brett Favre, that Defensive Front for the Cowboys will be too much

Loud in the Dome?

Wiley: It will hurt the Cowboys but it is up to Flozell Adams to recover. We have seen Flozell Adams have penalties so that could be factor. But I think Tony Romo will be able to handle it.

Golic: The running game will be interesting. I wonder how Felix Jones will do.

Golic: Both of these teams have specialties at position that can get the job done.

Wiley: If you don't win up front, Tony Romo will not have the time and the same for Brett Favre. Adrian Peterson has not been playing great and that is on the Offensive Line.

Jets/Chargers?

Wiley: The key is the size of San Diego's receivers. You have Darrell Reevis but he will be playing against bigger players. The Jets cannot get into a shootout. It is a scary game for the Chargers as well. The Jets were not invited to the dance and then showed up. Not suppose to be here and we are going to prove we belong.

Golic: Darrell Reevis has proven he can play against big receivers but he cannot cover all of them. I really think it comes down to the Jets trying to run the ball. The Chargers have trouble stopping the run. If the Jets can run the ball and keep Phillip Rivers on the sidelines, the Jets will have a chance.

Wiley: I think the Jets will run on the Chargers. I don't think they will be able to run but not effectively to keep up with the Chargers scoring. However, I think the Chargers are going to be too much.

Thanks for posting.

Pretty weak analysis in my opinion. I am not sure the game hinges on the Flozell vs Allen match-up. It is important, because Allen is a good player but he frequently runs himself out of position and lets runners get past him. The most important thing is for Dallas to not shoot itself too many times with drive killing penalties.

It was real real loud in the Superdome too. Flo did fine. He will do fine in Minny too.

This game is Dallas's to lose.
