By the way, Patriots over Giants:35 – 21

I think it will be close for a half, but a perfect season might not be enough to hold off the return of Spygate 

What we have learned so far this NFL offseason is that Dan should not quit his day job to make a living betting on football. That is, were gambling legal.

So with the Good vs. Evil subplot gone without the Packers, we still have a fairly interesting Superbowl. The Giants played the Patriots through to the fourth quarter in the meaningless final game of the regular season, and used that mometum to begin their surge through the playoffs. Their valiant effort to upend the Patriots when conventional wisdom would have rested for the playoffs was a reminder of what sport is all about.

Beautiful, but they still lost

Patriots over the Giants

Go evil empire

Okay, I was two for four this past weekend. I was wrong about both Sunday games. I never dreamed that the Colts defense would play as badly as it did or that the Cowboys would crap the bed at home. Anyway here are my championship week picks

Green Bay over the NY Giants

New England over SD Chargers

Which sets us up for a good vs. evil Green Bay – New England Super Bowl

I can’t wait

I am a football junkie and have been since my days as an undersized offensive lineman for the Charlottetown Timberwolves. Just so I can brag should I happen to be right, here are my picks for this weekends divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

Green Bay over Seattle – 28-24

New England over Jacksonville – 31 – 21

Indianapolis over San Diego – 28 – 14

Dallas over NY Giants – 21 – 10

As you may have noticed I picked the home teams across the board, and I will deny this completely should I turn out to be wrong.
