Everybody knows, that birds have no trouble being on the road in the Winter. So, we should not be surprised that all 3 road teams with bird mascots in the NFL Playoffs won their games this past weekend.
The Arizona CARDINALS went to number 2 seed Carolina and beat the Panthers.
The Baltimore RAVENS went to number 1 seed Tennessee and beat the Titans.
The Philadelphia EAGLES went to number 1 seed New York and beat the Giants.
This is clearly the year of the bird in the NFL. 4 bird mascots made it to the post-season, and 3 of those are still alive, and bird teams are 6 and 1. Even more impressive, the birds are 5 and 1 on the road in the playoffs, and that lone loss by the Atlanta FALCONS came to the CARDINALS.
So, we've got the Philadelphia EAGLES at the Arizona CARDINALS in the NFC Championship game, and the Baltimore RAVENS at the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game.
These are not my official picks, but you've got to think that the RAVENS and the EAGLES are headed to Super Bowl.
Granted my whole "the bird is the word" philosophy is not science, but I am guy who looks at history. Recent history tells me we are looking at our first-ever all bird Super Bowl.
HERES HOW I SEE IT. NO COWBOYS, WHO CARES?
