Who wins and why?

ATL. What were the conditions in Lambeau in '03? Mike Vick may not be all he's cracked up to be but that defense is.WizardOfAz said:Snow and mid-20s on Sunday.
BigRedVol said:not winning "the big one" also sits on Reid's and McNabb's shoulders about not winning the NFC championship.
BigRedVol said:This is a tough call for 2 reasons:
1st) Atlanta has yet to be tested by a great defense, and I think the Philly D will give Vick all he can handle, and shut him and the offense down.
2nd) The monkey that sits on Peyton's shoulders about not winning "the big one" also sits on Reid's and McNabb's shoulders about not winning the NFC championship. Will this monkey be too hard to shake off???
Weather?? Atl won in GB, true, but not against a caliber D like Philly will show them.
Defenses win championships, so my call is Philly in a low scoring defensive ground struggle...
kerouac9 said:Huh? Vick had to play Carolina and Tampa... twice. They went 3-1. They played San Diego's defense, which was pretty special, and won. This isn't a team that cake-walked through the season.
Philly's D is way, way overrated. They're going to get exposed this Sunday by a team that's committed to running the ball.
BigRedVol said:I see what you're saying. But I should've been more specific I see. What I meant to get out was Atl has yet to be truly tested in the post-season. With a first round bye, and a weak StL D, they kinda grazed on into the championship game. And yea, so did Philly against a weak Minny D.
Vick will get exposed this weekend by a team who can shut him down, and in a city where to say it will be hostile is an understatement!!!

CaliCards said:Eagles wins because they will use a part of the Cards play book, which was featured on NFL Matchup by Jaws (1/22/05) to illustrate how the Eagles could contain Vick.
That way the Cards will get another week of free press.
