Rams clinch division!
My prediction:
IF the Rams get home field advantage, they'll win the Super Bowl!
IF they don't, Philidelphia will go.

1. I agree--the NFC comes down to those two teams
Home field advantage will play a more important role than in the AFC.

2. Rams win indoors, are mediocre outdoors
Eagles are tough, and in the snow? I give it to them, easily.

3. Rams will beat Philly in Philly
Weather does not bother them. This is not the old Rams. If they can limit themselves to one turnover, they can beat anyone, anywhere.

4. I hope you are right, but...
I don't see it. The Eagles have a first rate defense, they play on grass in the great outdoors...
The Rams have trouble with good defenses, they have trouble on grass, and the cold is a factor.
These are two teams who are so close in abilities, I think the home field advantage will decide it.

5. Probably right
That is the common wisdom.

But I think the Rams can surprise an over-confident Eagles team.

These guys are better than most people think.

6. IF
the Eagles are that over confident, they don't deserve to win.

I don't think they will be, though. I think the Eagles will show up fighting, and off turf they can shut down the point a minute offense the Rams have...

7. Congrats. Hope your guys get homefield
One more Philly lose in a pivotal playoff game, and I think their psyche will be "we can't win the big one." And that will open things up for a certain franchise in Dallas to reclaim the east in future years.

8. I disagree
I think the better team will win or the better prepared team will win. The Host's stadium does play a factor in the outcome but it comes down to preperation, play calling, and execution. There was no way Tampa could beat Philly in Philly and they did, plus I feel that Something Financial Field is not the big of an advantage Veterans Stadium was. But don't count out the other NFC teams either.
