I am so damn happy that I am not at our Convention. You will probably see me say this every day for the next couple of weeks. :awe:

Okay. So my playoffs predictions were Saints, Colts, Ravens, Eagles; then Patriots, Steelers, Falcons, and either Bears or Eagles (I've forgotten already); then Patriots and Falcons, then Patriots.

Clearly, I'm off to a terrible start.

Seahawks @ Bears. Can lightning strike twice? I don't think so. But if the betting odds are anywhere near what they were for Seahawks/Saints, I'm all over that.

Jest @ Patriots. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about this rematch, but my prediction remains unchanged. The Patriots are rolling on. And I'm hoping for the most disgusting, abusive, high-scoring blowout the NFL has ever seen, because something needs to shut Fat Ryan up.

Packers @ Falcons. Did it in the regular season, but I didn't get to see that one. I'm no longer so sure of this one, and wish I'd been able to see more of these two, especially the Falcons. Looking for statistics now, but those don't quantify things nearly as well as watching a game.

And, for the third meeting of the season, Ravens @ Steelers. Yeah, this should be good. I'll say Steelers. They lost at home by 3 without Ben; won on the road by 3 with Ben. At home with Ben, I think it's a win.

Damn, you're good. I'm impressed you'd call it against the Colts though.

Yeah, well, fuck the Saints. I'm finally getting sick of those commercials. You know the one showing the pick in the Bowl last year? I was wishing to see the commercial cut out halfway through and go to the Seahawks running one back on the Saints.

I did call it against the Colts because while I may be a fan, I'm realistic enough to know that the injuries were just too great to overcome. Frankly I was surprised that they were within 50 seconds of winning the game. That, to me, doesn't bode well for the Jets and that is the point Jets fans miss when I talk about the Colts' injuries. The Jets fans think I am making excuses for the Colts losing but quite the contrary -- I am pointing out that the Jets barely managed to beat a team missing 1/3 to 40% of its players and you shouldn't be too happy with that kind of performance if you're a Jets fan. Had the Colts had even just one player back (specifically, Clark or Collie), I think they win the game by 7 to 10 pts.

The NFL and the media risk making people hate the Saints. I've heard multiple people say how sick and tired of hearing "Katrina this, BP that" all the time. The NFL just needs to drop it. As I mentioned in another post, the Saints got their SB win and now everything is supposed to be magically better for them.

This week is tougher. The only one I am sure about is the Jets @ Pats. Here are my preliminary picks but I reserve the right to change my mind up to game day:

Jets @ Patriots -- Patriots
Ravens @ Steelers -- Steelers (I want the Ravens to win though)
Seahawks @ Bears -- Bears
Packers @ Falcons -- Toughest game to call. I am going with the Packers as of now.

Preaching to the choir.

The Jets are a mediocre team that got blessed with an easy schedule; the rest of it is just marketing.

Also, Garcon and Green Bay's Jones must get along spectacularly well.
"Hey man, what's the easiest catch you've ever blown?"
"Well, my QB walked over and handed me the ball, I just laughed and dropped it."
