NFL Playoffs Set for January 9-10th for NFL Wild Card Games
by admin on Jan.04, 2010, under Sports News
The NFL Wild Card playoff games are set for January 9th and 10th after this weekends final NFL regular season games and NFL playoff tickets are on sale now and going fast. The winners of the wild card games will go on the NFL Divisional Playoff rounds on Jan. 16-17. Three of the four NFL playoff games feature teams that just played this last weekend, several ending in routs, though not all teams played with the same agenda.
The AFC Wild Card playoff game will feature the N.Y. Jets vs the Cincinnati Bengals for a rematch of yesterday’s game that was a blowout with the Jets 37-0 win. Hopefully with the game at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati the Bengals will make more of a game out of it.
The second AFC Wild Card game will be at the home of the New England Patriots vs the Baltimore Ravens at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, January 10th. The Patriots will be without receiver Wes Welker after he blew his knee out in the loss Sunday to the Houston Texans.
The NFC Wild Card playoff games will feature the Philadelphia Eagles vs the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboy Stadium on Saturday, January 9th. The Cowboys just came off a great game against the Eagles with a 24-0 rout so it will be interesting to see if the Eagles can bounce back against the Cowboys, who won the division title with that blowout.
The Green Bay Packers vs the Arizona Cardinals game at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday January 10th should be a great one after the Packers 33-7 win against the Cardinals yesterday. Both teams took a different approach to the game, the Packers wanted to win and stay sharp, while the Cardinals rested their starters for next weekends game.
All roads lead to the Super Bowl and you can buy Super Bowl tickets now, or wait to see if your team makes it all the way.
Oakland Raiders Pull Off an Upset Over the Philadelphia Eagles

The Oakland Raiders pulled off a big upset over the visiting Philadelphia Eagles with a 13-9 win on Sunday. And who could have predicted that win after the lousy play so far this season.
But it wasn’t the offense that won the game, JaMarcus Russell did complete a short pass that resulted in the single touchdown of the game, but he also through two interceptions. The defense came out swinging as Raiders Coach Tom Cable had asked them to, and the Eagles offense could not handle the Raiders when they rushed Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
Too bad the Raiders have already lost most of their fans for the year, the Oakland Coliseum looked pretty empty at the start of the game, and didn’t get a whole lot better as the game progressed.
Cheap tickets are still available for the Raiders vs NY Jets game on Sunday October 25th.
Michael Vick Signs with Philadelphia, Will Eagles Ticket Sales Go Up?

Michael Vick has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles according to his agent, Joel Segal, but before you run out and buy Philadelphia Eagles Season Tickets, you may want to wait and see if he even plays this year.
After being released from federal prison in May for his dogfighting conviction, Vick was reinstated into the NFL on a conditional basis in July, that may allow him to resume full play in October.
This is going to be interesting since the current starting quarterback for the Eagles is Donovan McMahon, who had record stats last year with 416 points, 3916 yards, 345 completions on 547 attempts on the way to the Eagles fifth NFC Championship game and 2004 Super Bowl appearance with McMahon as starting quarterback.
Because of his contribution to the team, McMahon’s contract was restructured in June for the final two years for a whopping $24 million. At best, Michael Vick would have to wait a year to start for any team unless McMahon goes down. And if Donovan McMahon has another banner year, they’ll be losing Vick with his option on the second year, but for $1.6 million, it’s good insurance.
