« Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 15 | Main | NFL Divisional Playoffs »
Slacker
By Mike | January 4, 2008
Not that anyone’s noticed, but I’ve been a slacker and haven’t posted my picks for the last two weeks of the NFL season. I haven’t even posted my results from week 14. I could have been perfect that week and we may never know.
I stopped picking because I kept running out of time during the holidays and those Thursday games kept throwing me off.
But football isn’t all I’ve neglected. I also fully intended to write about Fukadome, the Mitchell report, Brian Roberts, Roger Clemens, The Bears end of the season, the Rose Bowl, and who knows what else, and yet, I managed to write nothing. Fear not. That ends here. I will now make my official picks for the NFL playoffs, which most likely means I’m picking teams that will be watching from home next week. I’m going to just pick wins and losses and not worry about the spread. This is the post season and winning is all that matters.
NFC
New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants have been rather flaky in recent years, especially in the second half of the season. I’m not sure how Plexico is feeling, but I do know they’ll be without Shockey. I did follow the Bucs much this year, but I’m taking them none the less. I have a feeling we see a typical Eli meltdown in this one.
Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks. The Redskins have had quite a remarkable run, but it ends here. I think that their emotions have allowed them to overachieve, but against Seattle in Seattle, I don’t think they can win on that alone.
AFC
Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are without Willlie Parker, and most of the experts seem to be picking against them, but I think they grind out a win at home. Then again I’ve been betting against the Jaguars and losing all year.
Tennessee Titans at San Diego Chargers. The Titans almost beat San Diego a few weeks ago, but there’s no way that happens this time around. The Chargers will run away and hide with this one.
So there’s my first round predictions. Hopefully I’ll remember to record my picks for round 2.
