Playoffs?!? NFL Championship Round Picks

That's better...Last week 3-1 both against the spread and straight up.

Line:
NEW ENGLAND by 14 1/2 over San Diego
The injuries will catch up to San Diego. I'll take San Diego with the points, though. And NEW ENGLAND to win.

Line:
GREEN BAY by 7 1/2 over N.Y. Giants
We'll see with Eli is made. Maybe watching his Seinfeld DVDs will help? Probably not enough, though. I'll take GREEN BAY minus the points.

Playoffs?!? NFL Divisional Round Picks

Nice Picks for last round, huh?
1-3 both against the spread, and straight up.
Wow! I know nothing about the NFL...


Line:
GREEN BAY by 7 1/2 over Seattle
I'll take Seattle getting the 7 1/2, but GREEN BAY to win. The lack of a running game would seem to hurt Seattle's chances. However, will GREEN BAY stick with their running attack, or chuck it all over the field? That might lead to some chances for serious turnovers.

Line:
NEW ENGLAND by 13 1/2 over Jacksonville
That's way too many points to give....Jacksonville better have enough pride to not lose by 2 touchdowns. I'll take Jax and the points, but NEW ENGLAND to win. It's tough to stop that runaway train, and giving the Hoodie 2 weeks to prepare seems to spell doom to me.

Line:
INDIANAPOLIS by 9 over San Diego
I'll pick San Diego and the the points, but INDI to win. San Diego may have Peyton's number, but I don't see 6 picks happening again.

Line:
DALLAS by 7 1/2 over N.Y. Giants
This is a tough match up to pick. Will Jessica Simpson be in the house? I'll take the Giants and the points, and to upset. However, this might be the week that the Giants luck runs out, and their injuries catch up to them. With a stacked deck against DALLAS (i.e. trying to win 3 games in one season against the Giants, T.O.'s injury, Romo's thumb, and the J. Simpson factor) will Romo and the 'Boys rise to the occasion? I'd like to see that happen. So, either way I'll be happy. I either get my pick right if the Giants win, or see the Cowboys take a major step forward.

Playoffs?!? NFL Wildcard Round Picks

Line:
SEATTLE by 3 over Washington
I'll pick Washington with the points and straight up.
If they stick to running the ball and minimizing mistakes, they'll keep the Sean Taylor magic going.

Line:
Jacksonville by 3 over PITTSBURGH
Originally I was thinking Jacksonville has too much for PITTSBURGH, but I'll pick PITTSBURGH with the points and straight up believing that Big Ben will make the difference in this game. It won't bother me to see Jacksonville win this game, though, and I'm interested to see how the officials will impact this game.

Line:
TAMPA BAY by 3 over The N.Y. Football Giants
I'll pick TB minus the points.
It being a home game for TB, and not being sold on Eli Manning makes this one easy for me. I think injuries and a let down from last week will hold the Giants back. I'll be pleasantly surprised if the Giants pull this one off.

Line:
SAN DIEGO by 10 over Tennessee
I'll pick Tennessee with the points, but SAN DIEGO to win.
I think Tennessee is actually better with K. Collins at the helm. I guess we'll have to see, though. A rested LT2 could go off if Haynesworth is less than 100% or out. I wouldn't be shocked to see SAN DIEGO cover the spread.
