NFL Wild Card Picks
The Tank was 10-5 in his picks last week to close out the regular season strong, touch wood. I excluded the Giants-Redskins game because of my protest against the Giants.
For new readers, my picks are designed for you to win the highest number of games in your office pool which are normally predicated on wins and losses, NOT the Vegas line. I do not bet Vegas lines because they are subject to change and Vegas knows more than everyone except God. Furthermore, Vegas lines are designed for the "vig" or the balance of the betting money which is why you see ridiculous double-digit lines to get people to take chances and care about potential blowouts. Whereas, I want you to win your office pool and be the talk of your office.
Remember, bet within your limits, past performance is not indicative of future results (mutual fund speak legalese disclaimer), and have fun. The predicted winning team is in bold. The Jets went into Foxboro and beat the Patriots during the regular season. Expect the
Patriots to make the necessary adjustments and win wth the home field advantage.
The Colts "dome" field advantage and do enough on run defense to beat the visiting Chiefs.
The Eagles let victory slip through their hands earlier in the season against the Giants
at home. The Eagles won't make the same mistake twice. For all my Eagles friends like
Coach Emily, Jennifer, and Lisa, this one is for you. Eagles win.
In the hardest game to pick in the weekend, the Seahawks home field advantage overcomes
the Cowboys who are due to bounce back after the inexcusable loss to the Lions.
