NFL Divisional Playoff Picks
The Tank was 4-0 in last week's picks to start the post season, touch wood.
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 sometimes 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 based on won-loss record.
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 Eagles will try to avenge their 27-24 loss at the Saints on October 15. Sorry, my Eagles friends like Coach Emily, Jennifer, and Lisa, it's hard to pick against the Saints, especially at home.
The Patriots got their revenge against the Jets last week. The Patriots are always tough with Brady and Belichick but at 21st Century LT and the Chargers.
The Ravens have home field advantage but the Colts are coming off a good performance, especially on run defense. The Colts were my AFC pre-season Super Bowl pick so I guess I have to dance with them (in a figurative way of course) and they have a better offense.
In the hardest game to pick in the weekend, the Seahawks were my NFC pre-season Super Bowl pick so I guess I have to dance with them figuratively as well. The Bears are at home but Rex Grossman recently admitted not being prepared enough for the last regular season game against the Packers. He may over prepare and think for this game to compensate. Furthermore, he still maybe hung over from celebrating the Gators Monday night BCS win. Grossman has been so inconsistent that I can not figure them out and it is accelerating my hair loss. Darn you Rex, you better pay for my hair transplant. The Seahawks in a close one.
