NFL Recap - Divisional Round

We didn't have quite the success we did last week as far as picking the game winners, but we did get 3 out 4 with the spread. We're not 6-2 vs. the spread in the post-season. We're also 6-2 merely picking the winner of the game.

Cowboys -7.5 vs. Giants Cowboys 31 Giants 20
Thankfully we were so wrong on this one. If winning the game is wrong, then we don't want to be right. GO GIANTS

Packers -8 vs. Seahawks:
We thought the Seahawks were phonies and despite a couple of quick scores, we were so right. We picked the Pack, 30-17. They laid it to he Hawks even more so, 42-20

Jaguars +13 at Patriots:
We thought the Jags could keep it close and thanks to some great play David Garrard, we were right. We said Patriots 31 Jaguars 21 - the final, 31-20. Not bad at all!

Chargers +8.5 vs. Colts:
We had the Chargers covering and we almost had the score exactly again. Only problem is we had the wrong team winning. We said, Colts 27 Chargers 23 - the final, Chargers 28 Colts 24.

And in case you didn't realize it already,
GO GIANTS!

This Week in the NFL - Division Round

The Giants got their first playoff win since their Super Bowl run in 2000 and we're really looking forward, albeit with some trepidation, to this week's divisional match up in Dallas.

A lot of the talking heads are picking the Giants, but we just can't see it as much as we'd like to. The Giants have not been able to stop a high powered offense - Tampa does NOT qualify as one - this season. We don't see a reason why that will change.
Cowboys -7.5 vs. Giants Cowboys 31 Giants 20 (same score as their 2nd meeting)

Packers -8 vs. Seahawks: Mike Holmgren back in his old haunts and his old QB will haunt him. There's nothing about this Seattle team that impresses us, especially on the road. Packers 30 Seahawks 17

Jaguars +13 at Patriots: We really think this physical Jags team will keep it close, but no doubt about who wins. Patriots 31 Jaguars 21

Chargers +8.5 vs. Colts: As much as we would like to see the Bolts do some damage, we think the Colts are just too much for them. But it will be close. Colts 27 Chargers 23

So there you have 2 favorites, 2 'dogs, and 4 favorites win outright.
