I should have done this earlier but I’m really tired and I have work in eight hours and by the time I’m out the games will have started. I’m going to make this short and sweet. Next week will have more analysis. I couldn’t think about football for a couple days after the Packers’ crushing defeat. However, I’ve really thought about it the last three days but before I do the picks I’ll talk about the teams that played last week in a few words.
Cardinals- Escaped
Packers- Heartbreaking
Cowboys- Dominant
Eagles- Pathetic
Ravens- Scary
Patriots- Imploded
Jets- Surprising
Bengals- Flat
Now onto this week’s matchups.
Saturday 4:30 p.m.
Arizona vs. New Orleans
The Cardinals couldn’t stop the Packers. How are they going to stop the Saints? The Saints will be able to stop the Cardinals enough for the win. Are the Saints at home? Yeah.
Saints 48 Cardinals 24
Saturday 8 p.m.
Baltimore vs. Indianapolis
History is against the Colts. When they sit their starters the last couple weeks before the end of the season they lose. The Ravens are looking good. They only lost by two when they played in the regular season. They’re tougher than the Colts and that usually wins out in the playoffs. The defense will come to play. UPSET SPECIAL!!!
Ravens 24 Colts 14
Sunday 1 p.m.
Dallas vs. Minnesota
The Cowboys have played better football than the Vikings in the last couple weeks of the season and played a great game against the Eagles. Everything is telling me to pick the Cowboys but I’ll pick the Vikings. Favre is in a dome and he won’t go down that easy. He’s still seeking the ultimate revenge against the Packers. Most of all I think the Vikings are going to stay in the playoffs simply to annoy me.
Vikings 31 Cowboys 24
Sunday 4:40 p.m.
NY Jets vs. San Diego
The Jets overachieved in the first playoff game. The Chargers will show the world the Jets true colors unfortunately(Dark Knight). The Chargers haven’t lost since October. It’s a no brainer.
Chargers 31 Jets 17
I went 1-3 last week. Hopefully this week will be better.
See ya.
