Conference Week

Here’s the picks:

Away Home     Winner Vegas Line O/U Bets  
NY Jets Indianapolis 19 20 IND IND 8.5 40 NYJ Under
Minnesota New Orleans 24 27 NO SD 3.5 53.5 MIN Under

I know the computer says Indy has the game, but my gut feeling is that the Jets will come to make a point. I have a feeling that Indy might be sorry about not bringing their A game to the Jets in the regular season.

Here’s how the Superbowl looks to me:

Superbowl   Indianapolis New Orleans 24 26 New Orleans
    New Orleans Indianapolis 22 22 Indianapolis

E.W.

Indy should be very afraid, do-overs are 0-2 in the playoffs.

NFL Conference Championships – Spring & The Prince’s Picks

Well we’re down to 4. It would be funny if the Jets found a way to take out the Colts after Indianapolis threw the last 2 games of the seasons. It really irritates me that they didn’t play their starts in those last games and try for the perfect record. So in some ways it would serve them right to lose to NY, but I don’t think they’re going to.

The hard game for me to pick is Minnesota and New Orleans. The Saints are the sentimental favorite, but I’d love to see Brett win and get back to the Super Bowl. But I’m going with the Saints. Hopes and Prayers to not only the team, but the city who needs this boost too!

NFL Divisional Playoff Weekend – Spring & The Prince’s Results

The pick for the Divisional Playoffs weren’t that hard. No way Arizona was going to take New Orleans. And while Dallas might have had a chance, it’s obvious they didn’t show up to play in Minnesota. Course it was great to see all those monstrous arrogant egos from Dallas looking totally dejected. I can’t stand Dallas!

So way to go Indy, New Orleans, Minnesota & the Jets.

Divisional Week

Here’s the picks:

Away Home     Winner Vegas Line O/U Bets  
Baltimore Indianapolis 18 22 IND IND 6.5 44 BAL Under
NY Jets San Diego 19 23 SD SD 7 42.5 NYJ Under
Arizona New Orleans 23 28 NO NO 7 57 AZ Under
Dallas Minnesota 18 23 MIN MIN 3 46 MIN Under

Double do-over didn’t seem to help any of the previous losers.

I hope Arizona’s defense made it to New Orleans, my guess is NO will bring theirs.

Here’s how the rest of the playoffs look to me:

Conference AFC San Diego Indianapolis 21 22 Indianapolis
             
  NFC Minnesota New Orleans 24 26 New Orleans
             
Superbowl   Indianapolis New Orleans 24 26 New Orleans
    New Orleans Indianapolis 22 22 Indianapolis

E.W.

Well, I wonder when Philly will get to Dallas… The deadline now is moved back about 9 months or so, so no hurry.

96 Points in the Game on the Wall, 96 Points in the Game…

Picture an airport bar, somewhere halfway between Green Bay, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona…

A bunch of large surly looking men, half which are in red pajamas and half in green, are sitting at the bar, watching a football game having a few beers.  One of them in red shouts, “GEEZ, he scored again!”

His buddy in green replies, “I bet I could have stopped that…”

Red says, “Ever get that feeling you’re forgetting something but you can’t remember what it was?”

“Yeah, I’ve had that feeling all day, seems like I was supposed to be going somewhere.” Green says.

“And you know that feeling is never wrong…”

“Another touchdown… good thing we aren’t drinking to the scores.”

E.W.

In walks a bunch of irritated guys in darker green jammies, “… no flights to Dallas at all till next Fall…” one of them mutters.

Wildcard Week

Here’s the picks:

Away Home     Winner Vegas Line O/U Bets  
Baltimore New England 17 24 NE NE 3.5 43 NE Under
NY Jets Cincinnati 18 17 NYJ CIN 2.5 34 NYJ Over
Green Bay Arizona 25 25 AZ GB 1 47.5 AZ Over
Philadelphia Dallas 20 22 DAL DAL 3.5 45 PHI Under

There aren’t any good bets, never are in the playoffs.

I sure hope that two weeks is long enough for Philly to make it to Dallas, clearly one week wasn’t long enough…

I hope that the teams who threw their final regular season games to “rest their starters” don’t make it to the Superbowl. Their fans deserve better than that. Unfortunately both of those teams appear to me to be going to the Superbowl. It sure would be funny if the Jets beat Indy next week… Here’s how the playoffs look to me:

Wild Cards AFC Baltimore New England 17 24 New England
    NY Jets Cincinnati 19 18 NY Jets
             
  NFC Green Bay Arizona 26 26 Green Bay
    Philadelphia Dallas 21 22 Dallas
             
Division AFC NY Jets Indianapolis 18 22 Indianapolis
    New England San Diego 23 25 San Diego
             
  NFC Green Bay New Orleans 25 27 New Orleans
    Dallas Minnesota 18 24 Minnesota
             
Conference AFC San Diego Indianapolis 20 22 Indianapolis
             
  NFC Minnesota New Orleans 23 27 New Orleans
             
Superbowl   Indianapolis New Orleans 24 25 New Orleans
    New Orleans Indianapolis 22 22 Indianapolis

E.W.

I wonder if there has ever been a double do-over in the playoffs before.

NFL WildCard Weekend – Spring & The Prince’s Picks

So here we are the 1st weekend of the post season and we have some of the same matchups as last weekend. Can Philly beat the Cowboys at home this time? We hope so, we’re both picking the Eagles to win. We have the same picks for most of the games except the Jets and Cincinnati. I don’t think the Bengals will allow the Jets to blow them away and shut them out at home. So that’s our weekend tie breaker.

NFL Week 17 – Spring & The Prince’s Results

There were some unexpectedly good games this past weekend. And some that should have been good that fell far short. Several games came down to who wants it more. Miami and Pittsburgh was a better game than I thought it might be and it was obvious the Steelers wanted that wild card spot more. Both teams had to rely on other teams faltering, but to get there they had to win the game first.

Houston continued their weird win at home no matter who we play record. It’s so odd how well they play against some of the best teams in the league at home, and fall so short when they play away. But they continued their tradition and beat NE at home in Texas. Good for them.

I would have LOVED to watch the Indy/Buffalo game. For no other reason than to watch them play in that snow storm. But once again Indy sat their starters for their post-season. Once again they deprive fans of a good game that they’re entitled too. Course so did Arizona and some other teams, all of which should refund ticket prices to their fans.

And lastly were there some big time blow outs! I can’t believe the Eagles couldn’t even muster a field goal against the Cowboys. But once again, it came down to who wants it more. I don’t think Dallas is going to have as easy a time of it this weekend in the playoff game. Nor do I think the Jets will walk all over the Bengals. This weekend is more than just playoff and continuing the season, these 2 teams will also be playing for pride and to some extent anger.

But we ended the last week of the regular season like this. My picks weren’t too bad. At least I was better than 50%.
