NFL Playoffs, Week 2

Ah, another big football weekend. Here are my picks, some partially based in reality, and some based on the fantasy world I live in.

Washington at Seattle: We like Seattle the city; it’s probably one of the few places on the west coast we could live in besides the Bay Area. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Seahawks ever since they were in the AFC West. I’m grateful that the Redskins eliminated Tampa Bay last week, but I think that this could be Seattle’s year.

My Pick to Win: Seattle Seahawks












Carolina at Chicago: To be honest, I didn’t even know the Bears were in the playoffs until a week ago. When did they get good? Didn’t the Bears suck for the longest time? I guess they got lucky being the best team in the crappy NFC North. This one could be close, but it looks like the Panthers are on a roll.

My Pick to Win: Carolina Panthers














Pittsburgh at Indianapolis: The Colts have had an unbelievable year, and I think the Peyton Manning has paid his dues. This is his best shot ever at making the Super Bowl, so it’s up to him and his team not to choke. I’ve got nothing against the Steelers, but it’s really fun to see Bill Cohwer get really pissed off so he starts screaming & spitting on the sideline, just like Sylvester the cat.

My Pick to Win: Indianapolis Colts















New England at Denver: Ugh. Two teams I despise. I’ve been an anti- Broncos fan ever since I was little, and I will never forgive pretty-boy Tom Brady and the Patriots for knocking the Raiders out of the 2001 playoffs with their “tuck rule”. Unfortunately, both teams are looking pretty good right now.

My Pick to Win: I wish that a giant gopher will come and dig up the turf at Mile High Stadium, forcing the game to be cancelled. If that doesn’t happen, then I hope the winning team gets so battered and bruised that they won’t be able to get out of bed for next week’s game. Denver Broncos by three.
