The regular season is in the books and its playoff time my friends! I’ll pick all the playoff games right through the superbowl, so stay tuned. I finished the regular season at 60-55-4 or 52%; not as good as previous years but nobody can dominate every year… Maybe I can make up for it with my playoff picks!

SATURDAY 1/7
Cincinnati Plus 3 – These teams played a close game in Cincy earlier and I think the Bengals are playing with house money… And TJ Yates might not be able to play the whole game and would you trust Jake Pick-Six Delhomme?? I sure as hell don’t so I’ll go with the better QB to win outright…
New Orleans Minus 10.5 – The Saints are hitting on all cylinders and can’t see anyone going into that dome and beating this team. Sure, the Lions can score points but in that environment, I can see false starts, undisciplined play, and pressure to keep up with Brees and that attack. Detroit should put up points, but will falter down the stretch.
SUNDAY 1/8
New York Minus 3 – This should be a close game and wouldn’t be surprised if either team won. Having said that, I’m not a huge fan of Atlanta and especially on the road plus they are a southern dome team and the cold will affect them. The G-Men are riding high and playing up to their potential the last few weeks. They have been in playoff-mode the last couple of weeks and will be ready to go to war. I’ll take the home team in this one.
Pittsburgh Minus 8 – There is no way on earth the Denver Tebow’s are beating the Steelers, lets just get that out of the way. However, this line could be troubling given Pittsburgh’s propensity to play low-scoring games and let inferior teams hang around. That was the regular season but in the playoffs, I really believe they will step on Denver’s throat and not let up…Steelers big in this one.
