2011 NFL Superbowl Bound!
And then there were two.
Some will say that New England has the advantage. They’ve been here before. They’ve won before. But I don’t think you can say experience is totally on their side. The Giants have been here before too. And they’ve won before. The Giants won the 2008 Super Bowl (Super Bowl XLII), 17-14 over the Patriots. So I don’t think the advantage is on the side of Tom Brady and the Patriots. And as it so happens, neither does our little prince. We’ve made our picks for Superbowl Sunday. Who are you pulling for?

2011 NFL Conference - Results
Two great games, hard fought, passions erupting, but in the end there were only 2. I must admit that even though I picked NE to win, I was pulling for Baltimore. My heart seriously fell hard when Baltimore’s Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt with 11 seconds remaining. I feel so sorry for him. He will be the one blamed for losing the game, when in reality, it was the whole team who put themselves in that situation to begin with. So I made the right pick, but I’m almost sorry I won.
On the side of the country, I counted on the NY Giants to muscle and bully their way to a win. And sure enough that’s what they did. I don’t think San Francisco lost. They played hard and with a lot of heart. They didn’t give that game away, the Giants earned it.

NFL Conference Week
Ok, man, that beating Tebow took was awful. If I weren’t a man I probably would have cried. Especially since he didn’t cover the fricken spread. I’m ok though, I didn’t have real money on it. I guess that’s the difference between live and replay, Mel’s movie got to be kinda boring after about an hour and half of beating. But that beating in the game was live!
Speaking of beatings, did the Packers miss the plane to Lambeau Field? No worries though, it wasn’t much of a game, so they didn’t miss anything. Except another Lombardi…
Guess I have to root for Baltimore so I can see brothers face off in the Superbowl. That’s almost as bad as having to root for New England.

2011 NFL Division Weekend - Results
Holy cow, what happened last weekend? People who are smarter than we are thought New Orleans and Green Bay should win their games easily. So why didn’t they? Did they forget to show up? Did they think they were that much better than their opponents that their respective games would be easy? Or did their opponents simply want the win more than they did? I think that’s the case in San Francisco. The 49′ers played with a deep emotion and desire to win that the Saints didn’t seem to have. Maybe that’s the price of having to play the previous week. San Francisco was not only well rested, the were well motivated.
But what’s the excuse for Green Bay? Surely they should have won against the NY Giants. I think they wanted it just as much. But I also think that the Giants stepped up to the plate toward the end of the year as their defense came together in a big way. Could be as they were improving, the Packers were getting tired and banged up trying to keep their winning streak going. Certainly they weren’t the same team after their 1st and only loss to Kansas City. Maybe it was mental, maybe it was physical, or maybe they just pushed to hard at the end of the season and burned out in the long run.
Either way, the Prince and I finished the week out 2 for 4. 50% at least. But we’re disappointed in those 2 losses.

2011 NFL Division Weekend - Picks
It might be the last weekend for everyone to Tebow Tonight. I have to say, I’m getting rather tired of the hype. The kid is good, but come one, enough with the dipping him in gold, he hasn’t won these games on his own. I’m really hoping New Orleans pulls out the win today. I think they will, but I really like the Saints and would love to see them in the Superbowl again!
The Prince and I have made our picks for the weekend:
