Got a new car! Yay! More on that later.

Well, 3-1 for the first round. Only tripped up on Washington-Seattle. Backing a 36-year old career backup QB on the road. Insanity. Baaah. We’re gonna spice the picks up a bit this time out.

Dallas over NY Giants - yeah, yeah, Romo spent a weekend banging Jessica Simpson in Mexico, so what? Say it with me: SHUT THE FUCK UP TERRY BRADSHAW. Geez. All signs point to TO playing and Dallas pulling off the rarely seen hat trick.

Counterpoint: Gotta say, though, if there’s an upset to be had in Divisional Weekend, this is it, with how the Giants have been playing and the way Dallas limped into the playoffs. If Romo starts slow like he has the last few games, T.O isn’t 100 percent, and the Giants come out firing like they did the last few games, Dallas could be in serious trouble. (To say nothing of Romo - if they lose this game after all that stirfry Bradshaw raised up, he’s going to have millions of Dallas fan demanding he dump his girlfriend. The sad thing is, I’m only half kidding on that one.)

Seattle over Green Bay - I picked emotion over talent on paper last week with Washington. There’s only so far the Brett Favre nostalgia run will get you. A suspect running game and a defense poor against the pass means this should be a shootout between Favre and Hasslesuck. And that’s a game Seattle will win. Unless it goes into OT and Hasslesuck says something stupid again. That would grandly amuse me.

Counterpoint: Ancient or not, he’s still Brett Favre. And as long as he doesn’t get carted off with 4 or 5 broken limbs, the Packers will have a fighting chances at playing next week for a chance to reclaim the trophy named after their legendary coach. This one should be a good game.

The Cobra Kai over the Jags - sorry, as much as I’d love to hope for Belicheck and crew to suffer the kick in the nuts that a one and done would be after 16-0, there’s only one team that’s gonna stop the Patriots in the AFC. And unfortunately for Jack Del Rio and crew, that team doesn’t have an animal on it’s helmet. The Jags blew an 18 point lead, and (save for an undetected hold on 4th and 2) almost giftwrapped that game for Pittsburgh. Also, much has been made of Garrard’s 3 INTs over the regular season - and to those people, I have three words for you: “No Mistake” Jake, circa 2006.

Counterpoint: The Jags have the running game to wear down the Patriot’s defense, the D-Line to put pressure on Brady, and a game manager in Garrard that to this point has done pretty well at avoiding the turnovers that the Patriots feed on. If a few calls go the Jags way and MoJo Drew gets loose for a few huge plays, the Jags have a shot at emulating Denver-NE of a few years ago.

Colts over Norv Turner’s Overdrive - bye, Norv! Thank you for coming! Hmmm. Peyton Manning at home, or Phillip Rivers on the road with Norv Turner coaching him and probably no Gates. Lemme think about that one for a second……

Counterpoint: LDT is still putting on a Charger uniform. He could always put on his Superman cape and reel off a 40 carrys, 250 yd, 3 TD performance. And they could always pull a Carson Palmer on Peyton Manning.

More on the new car~! and other stuff later on.
