Get ready to bite your nails all day... no matter WHICH team is yours.  Both
teams have some matchups which aren't too favorable, namely Pennington and D.D.
for Team 1, and Deuce, J.J. and C.J. for Team 2.  I expect both defenses to
fare pretty well.  The Carolina owner must be trying to recall if he walked
under a freakin' ladder recently.  First week of the playoffs, and Vick comes
back to face his defense.

Gun to my head, I say that Team 1 wins in a -very- close game... due to an
explosion from T.O.  The Niners are likely to take out a LOT of frustration on
the hapless Cards this week.  I see 160 & 2 for Owens, which should put Team 1
over the top.  Arizona has been surprisingly good against the run this year,
but they cannot stop anyone's air attack.

Good luck, no matter which side you are on.
