Final week before playoff's re-cap

NY Giants at Washington - WRONG
"Washington to win."
The Giants surprise me. Just when I think they suck, they win. When I'm convinced they can win, they suck. And they made the playoffs so I have to deal with them one more time.

Pitts at Cincy - CORRECT
"Cincy has a chance to make the playoffs with a win, but this is the bad decision team of the year and it all comes together in the last game where they choke their chance away to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh really needs to win this one to salvage their post championship year, and Pittburgh will win to do just that."
I leave the entire projection intact for your review. I do this when I'm really proud of myself. Not only did I get it right, but Cincy had a really good chance to win but their kicker yanked a mid range field goal at the end of regulation. Nice choke, Cincy.

Detroit at Dallas - WRONG
"Screw it, Dallas will win."
I finally injure myself by picking Dallas and they show their true selves. You can't lose to Detroit and seriously hope to ever win again. Easpecially in the playoffs.

New England at Tennessee - WRONG
"Tennessee will win this game."
No they won't. New England still can win 'em when it matters.

Jax at K.C. - CORRECT
"K.C. to win."
K.C. needed the win for a chance to make the playoffs and it worked out for them. Is that going to be playoff momentum?

St. Louis at Minnesota - CORRECT
"St Louis might make the playoffs. Maybe they will. They will win this game."
Yeah, I got it right. St. Louis was eliminated from the playoffs when the Giants won, so they were playing for nothing.

Carolina at New Orleans - WRONG
"New Orleans finishes strong, but against Carolina, who wouldn't?"
I was a victim of New Orleans resting many key players since this game meant nothing.

Oakland at NY Jets - CORRECT
"*Laughing too hard to tell you that the Jets will win*"
*Still laughing*

Seattle at Tampa Bay - CORRECT
"Seattle: Weakest division winner ever. At least they win this one to finish over .500."
To salvage what remains of the shred of respect the NFC has.

Cleveland at Houston - CORRECT
"Houston will win."
I checked everywhere I could and it seems that they really did actually play this game. Why?

San Francisco at Denver - WRONG
"Denver to win. I can't talk about the Niners anymore. They have done me wrong all year."
The Niners. Geez. Denver pretty much gagged this one, but it still says something about the niners. Says a little bit. Says, "Wait 'till next year".

Miami at Indy - CORRECT
"Indy will win for the last time this year."
We'll see if the whole prediction plays out next week...

Atlanta at Philly - CORRECT
"Philly to win; just too good as of late as they roll with Jeff Garcia into the playoffs."
Philly had their spot clinched going into the game, rested starters, and still won it.

Arizona at San Diego - CORRECT
"San Diego will win, but I hope they forget this one as soon as its over."
Wow, another shrewd prediction. Not only did they win, but QB and RB both got a bit dinged up (so they want to forget the game?) as they clinched home field for the playoffs. They'll need the week off, and the home field (no cold weather!).

Buffalo at Baltimore - CORRECT
"Baltimore will relax just enough to give Buffalo a chance, but in the end, Baltimore is just too good to lose this one."
Yup. I was right on the money. Again.

Green Bay at Chicago - WRONG
"The only reason this will possible be close is because Chicago has no offense. Chicago to win."
Serious conspiracy game here. I know Chicago has no offense, but they were so downright horrid in this one, and so was their defense, I think that the NFL told them to lay down and let Brett Favre win since the game announcers were going to verbally fellate him for three hours.

So 10-6 for the week. 78-62 for my year. Now the picks will count.

Based on my picks, I though St. Louis would make the playoffs but the Giants did, and I thought Denver, not K.C. would make it. I guessed all the other playoff teams correctly, but learned that they had all clinched spots before this week anyway, so I'm just not going to brag about those predictions. You might not believe me.

Now I gotta go concentrate on the playoff matchups. I don't want to miss one.
