Playoff Footbal Picks

It is time for the Take out the Third Mortgage, Sell Your Children, Lead Pipe Locks for this weekend's Divisional Playoffs picks in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE (or NFL for those of you that like abbreviations). Here goes:

Jets @ Steelers - Saturday, 4:30 on CBS. Plexiglass Buress and the Steelers Rookie QB, Ben Rothelsburger are way, way too much for Chad Pennington and his crew from the Meadowlands. The Steelers have something to prove. All this kid at quarterback does is win, baby, just like Trent Dilfer several years ago when he took the Ravens to the Superbowl. Steelers win it easy, 27-10.

Rams @ Falcons - Saturday, 8:00 on FOX. I'm not jumping on the Rams bandwagon. They had a nice little win on the road last weekend, and that's just what it was, a nice little win. Sorry Mike Martz, it's time to take your smug little face out of the playoffs and go on back to St. Louis. Mike Dukasis is no John Kennedy, and Mark Bolger is no Kurt Warner. Mike Vick and crew roll in a game that is not as close as the final score indicates, 35-24.

Vikings @ Eagles - Sunday, 1:00 on FOX. I could use this space to rip on Randy Moss, but everyone else this week has already done that nicely. Oh what the heck - Randy, you are an AWESOME player - you, Mike Vick, Peyton Manning, and T. Owens are the only 4 true "game breakers" in the NFL - but, for cryin' out loud, when you hang your 2 or 3 TD's on Sunday on the Eagles secondary, act like you've been there before. Philly, you can't turn it on and off like a light switch. Sorry Ingrid, Vikings in a close one, 31-27.

Colts @ Patriots - Sunday, 4:30 on CBS. Patriot Fan, your ride is over. Peyton finally gets it done on the road. The horses from Indy are on a mission from God, the Patriots cornerbacks are gimped up, and Marvin Harrison is a stud. Too much offense, even for Bill Billicheck. It's their year, Colts 49-13 in a stinker.

What do you think?
