OUCH! After a nice end to the regular season, I did not have a good showing on Wild Card Weekend, losing three out of the four games...I went against my gut on the Redskins, completely underestimated the Giants and lost again when the Jags won but failed to cover...the Chargers bailed me out in a close one so I avoided a complete washout...all you can do is move forward so without any further ado...
Seattle (+7.5) at Green Bay-- Seahawks should be flying high enough to keep up in this one if not win outright...their passing game is as good as any and their pass rush is downright ferocious...Pack have had two weeks to prepare for this one and would love to establish the running game early with Ryan Grant...Pack wins but it's a close one...pick: Seahawks.
Jacksonville (+13) at New England-- Unlike other teams in a similar situation, I don't think the layoff will hurt the Pats...home crowd, primetime, perfect season still in sight...they won't be stopped but is the number justified? Jags are legitimate contenders but are running into what might be the best team in NFL history...Pats take off in second half...pick: Patriots.
San Diego (+9) at Indianapolis-- It seems like an eternity since we've seen the Colts starters all play...Manning and Co. should be ready to defend their title on their home turf...Norv Turner doesn't seem to get the ball to LT enough and that will cost him...the thought of relying on Philip Rivers, especially without safety valve Antonio Gates, should give Chargers fans nightmares...Colts break away eventually...pick: Colts.
New York Giants (+7.5) at Dallas-- I couldn't have been more wrong about the GMen last week...instead of running out of gas after close game with Pats, it obviously galvanized the team, spurring them on to an impressive road win over the Bucs...not sure they can pull if off again but I'll take my chances as Cowboys have not impressed me at all the last few weeks while struggling against Eagles and Panthers before meaningless game in RFK...Romo is distracted, TO isn't 100%...either way, I like the points here...pick: Giants.
Last Week: 1-3 To Date: 149-104-7
