Revised Picks

Alright, I went 50% in Wildcard Weekend. Should have known better than to pick against the Colts. Cowboys...can't believe they lost. Had that game won until that freak thing on the field goal.

Revised picks:

NFC Divisional Playoffs:

Bears over Seahawks.

Rex Grossman is a fuck up. But Bears defense is still better than the Seahawks offense. Bears take this game.

Saints over Eagles

This will be a good game. But the Saints are, by far, the best team in the NFC. And of course they have my man Mr. Reggie Bush. Saints beat the Eagles pretty handily.

AFC Divisional Playoffs:

Ravens over Colts

I just can't see Peyton & friends getting through that real mean Ravens defense. The Ravens chew up the Colts offense and spit it out I think. Ravens take the game.

Patriots over Chargers

This is definitely the pick I am least confident in. I originally had the Chargers slated to defeat the Pats in this years AFC Championship game. Really the Chargers ought to win. However, the Chargers biggest strength is their running game with LaDanian Tomlinson. The Patriots defense is very good against the run, and is the NFL's best defense in the Red Zone, giving up only 1.8 yards per play. Before today's game, Shawn Merriman stated that he believed the Jets would win. I think Bellichick will use that to whip the Pats into their trademark "We don't get no respect" frenzy. Meanwhile, just from the way they played today, New England looks at the top of its game.

My Pats pull it out in a tight one against the Chargers.

Oh yea, and two words: MARTY SCHOTTENHEIMER

NFC Championship Game:


Saints over Bears

Saints are better than the Bears all around, Rex Grossman screws up every chance he gets. Drew Brees and Reggie Bush lead the Saints to Miami.

AFC Championship Game:

Patriots over Ravens

A very close matchup, another one that the Pats probably should technically lose. But betting against New England in an AFC Championship Game is a good way to make a fool out of yourself. Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick pull out that post season magic and win the game.

Super Bowl:

Patriots over Saints

The Saints are very good for the NFC, but if they were in the AFC they wouldn't even be close to getting to the Bowl. They simply aren't as good a team as the Patriots, they don't have the post season experience that the Patriots have, and Drew Brees is no Tom Brady. Patriots take home another Lombardi.
