Thank the Football Gods there are no good bets this week. I’m 0-3 on the season now. I hope Tampa gets shut out in every game for the rest of the season…
Pittsburgh’s reign at the top of the Superbowl hill has ended, New England is back again. It boggles the mind the amount of fear they seem to have instilled in teams that have to play against them, they simply aren’t the greatest team ever and I’m waiting for some underdog to demonstrate it. Here’s how the playoffs look to me:
| Wild Cards | AFC | NY Jets | Pittsburgh | 17 | 22 | Pittsburgh |
| Baltimore | San Diego | 19 | 23 | San Diego | ||
| NFC | Minnesota | Philadelphia | 20 | 24 | Philadelphia | |
| NY Giants | Arizona | 25 | 23 | NY Giants | ||
| Division | AFC | Pittsburgh | New England | 19 | 23 | New England |
| San Diego | Indianapolis | 20 | 25 | Indianapolis | ||
| NFC | Philadelphia | New Orleans | 22 | 24 | New Orleans | |
| NY Giants | Green Bay | 20 | 23 | Green Bay | ||
| Conference | AFC | Indianapolis | New England | 20 | 24 | New England |
| NFC | Green Bay | New Orleans | 24 | 25 | New Orleans | |
| Superbowl | New England | New Orleans | 26 | 24 | New England | |
| New Orleans | New England | 21 | 27 | New England |

Broadcaster: If it is going to cost $890 billion, how is that not going to raise the deficit?
Analyst; It’s a deficit neutral spending bill.
Me: So… it’s magic?
