Once again the debate gets hot. Analyzed by the guru.
Super Bowl prediction: Oakland Raiders vs. Philadelphia Eagles.
Tampa Bay has a great defense, but you must remember that their offense was playing against a banged up defense. Tampa has no running game at all. On the other hand, Philly has a solid defense along with a great offense. Donovan McNabb didn't miss a beat with his time off.
Actually, there will be very little competition here. Although Tennessee has a fairly good defense, the offense will suffer because the running attack is weak. Eddie George may be ready to go next week, but running backs don't recover from concussions as easily as quarterbacks. On the other hand, Oakland's secondary looked phenomanal against a good receiving corps and a good quarterback. Oakland puts good pressure up front that puts their secondary in good position to cover receivers.
Super Bowl outcome will be determined on defense. Philadelphia has a slight edge on defense, but Oakland's offensive line gives Rich Gannon entirely too much time to throw the ball. Oakland wins by 10 points.
