Playoff Record 3-1 +380
I'll take it. Time to up the bets next weekend. There is only 7 more games to bet for me as I usually take a break after the super bowl. So I will see if I can piss away all the money I made this year, or possibly turn it in to a big pile of money. Only time will tell. Should be interesting to see what happens.
Thoughts on the remaining clubs.
NFC
Philly- the 2 week vacation resulting in 2 losses doesn't really bother me. Their lack of offense does. In my opinion, McNabb has more pressure on him then any other player in the league. I also feel like if Minny gets out to a lead, the pressure may get to philly.
Minnesota- they played some inspired defense today, and that Burelson continues to impress me. They have a dangerous offense and I expect the line to continue to drop as the public likely hammers this team
St louis- Yes, their offense is big time. Martz even called a decent game on Saturday. I can picture the fat grin on his fat face as Minny beat GB, so the Rams can return to a dome to play an Atlanta team that I am sure the Rams believe they can beat. The one thing that scares me is the Atl rush attack and how shitty the Rams Defense looked at the end of the Seattle game. I am not giving the Rams too much credit for beating seattle shithawks.
Atl- It is time to see if this team is in the pretender category. I have a hunch that they are. There offense looks horrible at times, but against St louis they should not have trouble moving the ball. It will be interesting to see if their defense can stop the air attack of Bulger and Co. I am a fan of the Atl defense, and I like their running game. Their passing game is suspect and it looks as though their pass defense is as well. Not a lot of quality wins for them this season either.
AFC
Indy- Another impressive performance by Manning and co. I was frustrated that I bet against them vs. Denver, but I decided to go all dogs, and you live and you learn I guess. My gut feeling is that this team is on a mission. They believe they can beat NE in their house, but will the demons continue to haunt them. It could develop into a Yankee stadium type curse at Foxboro
NE- IF my memory serves me right, NE has gone undefeated at home the past 2 seasons including 2 playoff victories. My memory also tells me the Colts had them beat in Week 1, but fumbled the game away. That was week one though. Going to war with Manning and the Colts without Ty Law does not bode well. This game will certainly be extremely tight and the Colts are the play.
Jets- Great win vs. the Chargers, but I never thought the Chargers were that good anyway to be honest. People may think the Jets are some kind of sleeper team, but I am not one of them. There offense is no impressive, and I am not sure they have enough playmakers to compete with Pitt.
Pitt-In my opinion, the AFC championship game will go through PITT. They are too good to let the Jets get to them. The win streak they are on is amazing, and it is not like Kordell Stewart is their QB like the year when they lost in a similar situation to the Pats in the title game as a 8-10 point favorite. All signs point to Steeler dominance in the first round. I just don't see the Jets doing much of anything on offense.
Should be fun (but not easy) trying to pick out the winners this week.
