My Wild Card Playoff Picks - UPDATES

UPDATES - Sunday Games - Hm. Well it seems like I have much better luck picking AFC games than NFC. The Titans came out fairly strong, but fell to the Chargers. The Chargers haven't lost to the Titans since they were the Oilers. Sometimes it's hard to buck the trend, eh Titans? You gave it a good shot, in the 1st half anyway. The Giants seemed to have their game together today too - Eli didn't throw any picks at all, surprisingly. C'mon, prior to today's game, his TD-picks ration is 23-20. Eli pretty much throws one every game. But today they held up against the Buccaneers. So congratulations to the Giants and Chargers for their Wild Card wins, and condolences to the Titans and Buccaneers - you both played well this season. Next week, the Divisional Playoffs.

UPDATES - Saturday Games - Wow, did you see the Seahawks run all over the Redskins? The interceptions back and forth and back again - what a game! I'm sorry 'skins, I really am. You've played with a lot of heart this season, under more adverse conditions than most teams have faced. You deserve to be proud of your accomplishments this year. As for the Jaguars - again so many turnovers! It was an edge of your seat game, right up until the final ticks of the clock. Big Ben, I'm sorry you didn't make it this year. I like you dude, I do. Congratulations to both the Seahawks and Jaguars for making it to the next round of playoffs.

    dude - can't believe I was right on that redskins.. I don't really hate any team except the Lakers and I'm again not a fan of the patriots, or the Yankees. CAN'T BELIEVE THE STEELERS gave the ball up like that - it was like the the Jags where the little kid in the cocoa cola commercial just gave it up...
    (I just told my husband you guys love the Patriots - he said well.. I said no body is perfect :))

    Yep, you nailed the Redskins! I must say though, no one thought the Seahawks would win that game. They're just not as strong a team as the Redskins and they're in a lousy division. But it goes to show that any team can beat any other team on any given Sunday. Yeah, the Steelers too - but they were playing with a lot of guys out with injuries and stuff. Pretty decimated, and the Jags are pretty good.

    Lol, you and Benticore - "nobody's perfect." Yeah, we all have our "flaws", right? rofl Thanks for stopping by sweetie. :) And hi to Benti too!
