No, I actually picked the Colts to win.

Still had that bad day, too. 0-2 in picks today.

And lighter in the wallet too!!!

I picked those three college teams as well...my college bowl picks really sucked!
Shesh, I think I would be better off if I made my picks and just reversed them when I go to fill out the card,lol.

I am looking forward to the rest of the playoff games, we are in store for some great games.
I really have no idea who is gonna go on a run and win it all.

Does anybody know who the Chargers play next week (Miami/Baltimore or Tennessee)? I can’t find this or the “seeding rules” anywhere. If its highest seed v. lowest seed, I think it would be San Diego v. Tennessee, but can anyone show me where its clear cut who they play?

Nobody knows yet. It’s always highest vs lowest. Which means the 3 vs 6 games decide who goes where (if 6 wins they go against 1 next round, if 3 wins they face 2, and the winner of the 4 vs 5 goes to the other).

Yeah, the pocketbook is a little lighter now, damnit!!!

Nice OT drive by the Colts, with all the penalties. I thought they were more disiplined than that.

As the week rolled on the home teams were where the money went. Atlanta, omnce a 3 point favorite closed as anywhere from a 1 point favorite to a 1 point underdog.

In the nightcap, Indy went from a slight favorite to a pick ‘em.

It didn’t matter. I still lost.

And to top it while Mike Shanahan, Brian Billick and Jim Fassel make more sense, the idiot Randy Lerner is going to hire Eric Mangini for coach.

It’s gotta be the Obammy factor, cause I can’t figure it out.

Oh man, don't put money on the games—its too risky!
I am a tight wad, er, frugal and will not do it.

Browns would be really stupid to hire Mangini, the guy is unproven and I really do not see any real talent there.
Better getting Shannahan or even a no name college coach, but hey, its the Browns—what else would you expect?

Indy gets the benefit of a lot of calls. Whenever they play the Pats the refs manage to call penalties for defensive pass interference when the receiver crawls up the DB’s back, they ignore it when the Colts DBs mug Pats’ receivers etc..

See ya next year Payton.

He has won very few games as a post season QB. How many first round exits? How many times have they lost with all of that talent? Great offensive team but for some reason they just don’t get much done in the post season.

The Browns need to overhaul their entire team and start over. Mangini proved he couldn’t do the job in NY both as a leader or a personell guy. Gholston has been a major bust, they signed a bunch of old timers for big money and they dumped a QB that was good enough, albeit chronically injured, for a guy who’s days are long since past. Hiring Mangini would show the fans that the organization isn’t committed to winning.

Besides, he’s a snitch bitch and he deserves to spend a few years washing jock straps....

I think I heard that Cleveland is going after the Pats Pioli to oversee the rebuilding process.Or maybe it was Detroit...
The Browns are in need of a major overhaul. Mangini would be a horrible selection to oversee that task.
Not sure if Shannahan is up for the job but that might work for them, anybody is better than Mangini the prick. As you said, he has already proven he is not capable, I really do not see why Cleveland would be interested in getting him, it makes no sense to me.

Manning is 14-8 in the playoffs.

Not sure how many 1st round exits from the playoffs though.

Manning will probably break a ton of records before it’s all said and done, but he would have a monkey the size of King Kong on his back if not for that lone SB win.

I still think Warner should have been league MVP this year.

Amazing what he’s done in his career considering all the injuries he’s had and how many teams have cut/released him.

Maybe the NYJets will sign him next year...

Pioli is said to have very large demands which means if he is leaving a good thing in NE it’s only for a sick offer. Sounds like Cleveland and KC are not going to do that.

No, he isn’t. Try 7-8 after last night. There have been 4-5 1st round exits as well.
