The Prince and I both are picking the Titans in an upset over San Diego. Come on, it’s Christmas day; miracles can happen. I’ll be wearing my #28 Chris Johnson Jersey (I just love that kid, man he is good!)..who knows what luck may come our way!

The Prince is also making a bold upset pick with Detroit over the 49’ers. Who knows, he’s been right on weird upset picks before. Course he just told me that his picks are based on his favorite team, the Eagles, Ravens, Cardinals, Jags, Bengals…..basically all the animal teams are his favorite team. Though he is very partial to the Eagles. Not sure Momma who grew up with the Redskins is totally ok with that, but he’s cute; so what are ya gonna do.

So here are our basic party line picks for the week. Go Titans!!  Although I love my Redskins, I got burned on picking them last week from the heart. Even hoping can’t beat a better a team. So I’m ignoring my heart this week and picking…gag..do I have to say who.. No I don’t. I’m not picking my Skins this week and we’ll leave it at that.

Awe Man….the Saints lost. I can’t believe they lost. We are stuck with the void of Comcast in the boonies of the non-digital world, so we have no way of watching games on the NFL. But I’m hoping that they lost because they didn’t play their starters and they’re resting up for the playoffs. I’m crossing my fingers anyway. And Woohoo the Colts are still undefeated. I love when someone defies the odds. And I like Peyton; that boy not only has talent, he’s also got to be a great guy. Only someone with a healthy confident in themselves would play a part where they get laughed at in every commercial they’re in. And I love his commercials. I mean come’on, giving a mouth guard to a middle aged lady..that’s funny.

My Titans won. I’m so excited they won. And in overtime too! I kept waiting to see all the replay shows run the miraculous interception that bounced through several players hands before it wound up in the possession of the Titans, but no one seems to think that was kewl but me.

The surprise to me was the Panthers taking Minnesota. Brett’s front line seems to have crumbled here in the late part of the season. Where’s the protection for the pocket for goodness sake. I know they’re missing some guys, but the fill-ins are supposed to be professionals and should step in and show what they’ve got. Don’t they get it’s an opportunity to audition for a permanent spot?

Ok, enough of the review; here’s how the Prince and I ended up for the week. It was a 50/50 week for me. The 6 year old didn’t fair so well with his picks. But he tends to pick who ever I don’t pick. That works sometimes.

Here’s the picks:

There was one good bet, but then the spreads moved. Oh well…

Here’s how the playoffs look to me:

About cheerleaders in coats… There is a commercial on lately where a bunch of cheerleader types jump and do a cheer, but they are in jeans and flannel shirts. It occurred to me that without the outfits, cheerleaders are just annoying.
