Last week: 4-0(100%)
Against the spread: 4-0(100%)
Playoff Lock-of-the-Week: 1-0(100%)
Wow. I don't dare say a word to jinx this magical playoff run. But it should be an interesting week. All four teams are heavy favorites and any of them could lose...except New England, they never lose.
Seattle(10-6) at Green Bay(13-3)
A very scary game for Packer fans everywhere. I think Green Bay will be just good enough thanks to their running game. But if Favre has a 2006-Favre game, they are done for. Pack 35, Hawks 28
Jacksonville(11-5) at New England(16-0)
The Jags are a trendy pick right now. But I think the 'experts' are forgetting something: The Pats are 16-and-freaking-0!! They made those Miami dorks put the champagne away for good! The only, and I mean only team that can possibly beat them is the Colts. The Jags can slow it down and make them earn it, but in the end New England is just too good. Pats 22, Jags 10
San Diego(11-5) at Indianapolis(13-3)
Another trendy upset pick that won't happen. Although it should be interesting, because the Bolts played so bad last week. San Diego is too good to play that poorly two weeks in a row. It will all come down to Phillip Rivers, and he just isn't there yet. Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Colts 31, Bolts(+8.5) 27
That was confusing. I am picking the Colts, but the lock is the Chargers to cover. You got that? The line is just way too big for the Chargers right now, and the Colts grind-it-out style these days.
NY Giants(10-6) at Dallas(13-3)
Everyone knows the Cowboys are beatable, but Eli Manning? On the road? I'm not so sure. It could be a battle though. The Giants pass rush is ferocious, and Tony Romo fell apart down the stretch last year, will he do it again? Will Jessica Simpson be in attendance? Will Terrell Owens do the Macarena after a touchdown catch? Who knows? Cowboys 29, Giants 22
