Wildcard Weekend 2011

Yeah, it's been a whole year. Just look how prophetic I am. 3-1 in my 2010 Wildcard picks and spent a good couple paragraphs essentially expressing that Ben Roethlisberger is a frickin moron of epic proportions. Thank you for proving me 100% right, Big Fraud. Maybe he should have gone with the post concussion defense for his nightclub "activities". Ben Roethlisberger makes those of us without daughters happy to only have boys. Thanks again, Ben. Like parents with college aged daughters didn't have enough to worry about.

saints -10 over SEAHAWKS

The Seehawks are beyond awful. The worst playoff team in history. No offensive weapons, below average defense and either no QB or the arthritic artist formerly known as Matt Hasselbeck. Loudest stadium, top 2 RB's gone for the Saints, don't matter. Drew Brees ain't bothered by noise, please. And once it's 17-0 or so, it won't be real loud. Kudos to Pete "ra-ra" Carroll, but his cupboard is bare.

Saints 37-13


ny jets +2.5 over COLTS

Sorry, Peyton, you just don't have the talent to pull this off. You'll make a valiant effort, throw some ridiculous passes, but this is the least talented team you've had in your 10 year playoff run. No way, not with this cast. Jets were built for this game. Couple picks are inevitable. And the Jets will score, with some big pass plays with the Colts stacked up to stop the run.

Jets 34-23


Ravens -3 over CHIEFS

Chiefs are getting there, but they ain't there. The Raiders man-handled them. If the Ravens can over-come John Harbaugh's crazily conservative offense, they've got something. Maybe Harbaugh will be a little more aggressive now that his brother makes a lot more money than him. Not that it matters in this game.

Ravens 31-13.


EAGLES -3 over packers

Another theme from last year that we are sticking with is Aaron Rodgers being a loser. He almost drove the Packers right out of playoffs putting up absolutely nothing at home against the Bears in the win or go home finale. Until he wins a meaningful game, he remains a loser. I'll even take a banged up Vick, that shakey Iggles defense and their wacky coach giving three points. Expect Rodgers to do what he does when it matters, throw the big INT or fumble the game away, ah la 1 year ago agaisnt the Cardinals. He's lost every game that's ever mattered in his career. He is a fantasy football stud, and a loser when it matters. He's the polar opposite of 2001 Tom Brady, and you don't want to be polar opposite of any kind of Tom Brady, at least as far as football is concerned.

This is Vick's year if he is not too hobbled and doesn't get too crunched today, he will triumph. The attention paid to him opens huge gaps for McCoy, and with his weapons, he can be unstoppable. Just ask Tom "I almost beat the crap out of my punter on live tv" Coughlin.

Eagles 38-30
