This is going to be a tough game all the way around. Can it be called a revenge game for the Patriots?

Story: My story revolves around a playoff game but not the NFC Championship. January 16, 2005, I am out with friends Joe and Karen and Karen’s parents at a place called Champs (now PJ Whelihan’s) getting ready to watch the game. The bar is very quiet (which is not my scene), and Karen turns to me and says, “Jamie, you are being very quiet. Are you ok?” I respond, “It’s quiet in here. I am not sure what to say.” Joe turns to me and says, “What do you mean? Just say whatever!” I respond, “Ok. E A G L E S EAGLES!” as loudly as I can. Next thing I know, the owner of the bar comes over with a round of beers and tells us he was hoping someone would do that! Every time the Eagles scored they would bring the microphone over and I would lead everyone in the fight song, I was interviewed and in the local paper the following day, and of course the Eagles won 27-14 on their way to going to Super Bowl XXXIX. It was a good day that day! I look to have the same thing happen this Sunday!
Current Line: Vikings –3 O/U 44
Prediction: I think this will be a close game. If it comes down to who has the ball last I hope the defense has a huge stop. If we have the ball, I have no doubt Carson will lead his first ever game winning drive. Eagles 28 Vikings 23
Go BIRDS!!!
