The NFC title game is now set as the Eagles of Philadelphia will face the Arizona Cardinals in Phoenix this weekend. After two surprising contests concluded this past weekend, we are down to the two top dogs in the NFC.
On Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles visited New York to face the Giants. In a defensive contest that saw only one touchdown scored (the Giants managed only 3 field goals and a safety), the Eagle prevailed 23-11.

Sunday brought the blowout that everyone expected, only the “wrong” team prevailed as Arizona overcame their East coast woes to absolutely obliterate the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, 33-13. Kurt Warner showed he still has what it takes.

Which NFC team will prevail this Sunday and play in Super Bowl XLIII? Grab some tickets and find out!

Well, well, well. Another round of AFC playoffs, another upset – only this time, the Chargers weren’t a part of it. After a surprising upset in the first round against Indianapolis, the Chargers weren’t so lucky in round two.

The one thing about the San Diego / Pittsburgh game that every pundit, writer, and blogger agreed on; is that it would undoubtedly be a very low scoring affair (I even heard one ESPN Radio guy say that neither team would score a touchdown). Uh… Wrong! Not only did Pittsburgh score more points than any other playoff team in week two, but their 35-24 win was the highest scoring game in the playoffs thus far. So much for that D, huh?

The other AFC contest was supposed to be a battle of two tough defenses as well, and this time it was. The Baltimore Ravens squeaked by the Tennessee Titans 13-10 after a Matt Stover 43 yard field goal with 57 ticks left. This may have been the best game of the week, in a week full of NFL upsets. Now the Ravens and Steelers are set to tangle next week in Pittsburgh. More defense?? I’d bet on it.

A rumored reunion tour of the surviving Grateful Dead members is taking place in 2009. Touring as The Dead, the band will feature Jeff Chimenti on keyboards and Warren Haynes on lead guitar. You may be familiar with Haynes’s outstanding guitar playing for the Allman Brothers and Gov’t Mule.

Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Billy Kreutzmann round out the troupe and The Dead Tickets are expected to be a hot item this spring as the tour kicks off in April. At SelectATicket.com you can view a list of 2009 The Dead Tour Dates and sign up for The Dead Ticket Alert to be notified when tickets are available.

With the addition of Warren Haynes on lead guitar, I think this tour has become a must-see for any old school Deadhead. Warren is an amazingly talented guitarist and while not imitating Jerry Garcia’s style, he comes closer than any other guitarist possibly could to making it a true, legitimate Grateful Dead-like experience.

So if you’re a fan of The Dead, are interested in seeing them in 2009 but you Need a Miracle, head on over to www.SelectATicket.com and sign up for The Dead Tickets Alert service.

Moving right along into 2009, here are the Hot Tickets from SelectATicket.com for the past week.

1. NHL All Star Game tickets
2. New York Giants tickets
3. In the Heights
4. Little Mermaid
5. New Jersey Devils tickets

The NHL All Star Game will be held in Montreal this year and coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Canadiens and interest is really heating up for this event in recent weeks.

Come back next week for another update on the 5 most popular events on SelectATicket.com.

Well, I did pretty well last week. Let’s see what I can do now that the big boys (Giants, Panthers, Titans, and Steelers) are in the picture.

I’ll go with the AFC first:

Defense anyone? When San Diego visits Pittsburgh, we’re in for the NFL’s version of a pitcher duel. Don’t expect a lot of offense but expect some big hits, interceptions and great special teams play. I’ve got the Steelers winning it 14-3.

No, seriously. Defense anyone? The AFC is all about the D right now and when The Titans host Baltimore, there will be more. The Titans have been the best defensive team in the league this year and the Ravens are no slouches themselves. Though Baltimore will show up to play, I think the Titans win it 24-17.

As for the NFC:

The New York Giants are the defending champs and the Philadelphia Eagles are perhaps their biggest rival. I really think this could go either way, but I believe that the Champs are the Champs until someone beats them. I think the Giants will prevail 31-24.

Arizona does not play well on the road. Carolina is about 2,000 miles away from Phoenix, so don’t expect much from Warner and Co. I think it could get ugly or the Cardinals while the Panthers will turn it up a notch. Carolina 35 Arizona 17

Now, let’s zoom in on the AFC momentarily. Many people believe that the AFC is the conference to beat this year, with Baltimore, Tennessee, San Diego, and Pittsburgh all vying for a spot in the Super Bowl.

This week finds Tennessee and Pittsburgh waiting in the wings to face the winners of last week’s matchups as San Diego and Baltimore will travel to Pittsburgh and Nashville, respectively to try and steal road victories from the AFC’s best.

If San Diego moves on, they will have ensured the toughest path to the AFC championship in a while. After hosting Indianapolis, they would have to go to Pittsburgh and still take on the winner of Baltimore/Tennessee on the road in the championship game. Wow.

For the Titans, many people think they will have to play their A game in order to handle very hot Ravens team when they come into Tennessee’s stadium. Regardless of the outcome, we are looking at great matchups from here on out in the NFL playoffs. Grab your playoff and Super Bowl tickets.

Let’s focus on the NFC for a bit, shall we? The reigning Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants are looking to defend their title as they face a tough Philadelphia team in New York this weekend. These two teams are no strangers to one another as they are both out of the NFC East, and have played each other twice in the regular season, swapping victories of a touchdown or less each time.

On the other side of the bracket, we have Arizona and Carolina who play on completely different sides of the country and have not faced each other all year. Both teams did, however clinch their divisions rather early and are looking to take it to the next level with a Super Bowl berth.

Grab some Super Bowl tickets now and root for your favorite!

There are some great matchups in the second round of the NFL playoffs that begin this weekend. Among them are what could be a couple of phenominal matchups in the NFC as a white hot Philadelphia team visits New York and will try to unseat the reigning Super Bowl champs. Meanwhile, Arizona will set sail across the country to face off against the tough Panthers in Carolina.

The AFC contests may not be quite as great, but you never know what’s going to happen in that volatile league. San Diego brings a 9-8 record into Pittsburgh to face a gritty Steelers defense, while the number one team for most of the season – the Tennessee Titans plays host to a Baltimore Ravens team that is every bit as capable as any team in the league.

No matter what happens in week two, we are bound to have a great NFL playoffs this year. Grab some playoff tickets and join in the fun!

In a great weekend for Professional Football, the AFC wildcard playoffs provided great entertainment, intrigue and excitement for every fan who watched.

The marquee matchup was perhaps between AFC South runners-up, Indianapolis and the winners of the AFC West, San Diego. San Diego was not given much of a chance in the game, due in part to their 8-8 record and despite their home field advantage, they weren’t expected to be able to handle the powerful Colts, led by Peyton Manning.

Alas, the Chargers had more to say about it than the talking heads as San Diego defeated the Colts in overtime, 23-17.

In the other AFC matchup, the AFC North runners-up, Baltimore took out revenge on the Miami Dolphins by clubbing them 27-9. The Ravens were the only team who were defeated by Miami in last year’s abysmal 1-16 season. Sorry folks, you’ll have to wait until next year to buy your Miami Dolphins tickets.

With the wins by San Diego and Baltimore, it sets up a couple of week two matchups in Tennessee and Pittsburgh, where the Titans will host the Ravens, while the Steelers will try to hold serve against San Diego.
