No good bets this weekend per the computer, but I got a feeling that Baltimore can’t beat anybody by 10 points, much less Chicago.  With the loss of Chris Henry. I expect Cincinnati to play with more than a little extra heart this weekend so maybe a win for them.

So much for agreement with the computer. Seems that the Pats have fallen out of favor for the Superbowl now and a rising star in the form of San Diego has shown up for the first time in the model. New Orleans wins it only by the barest of margins. Here’s how it looks:

Wild Cards AFC Baltimore New England 17 25 New England
    Denver Cincinnati 19 21 Cincinnati
             
  NFC Dallas Arizona 22 25 Arizona
    Green Bay Philadelphia 23 24 Philadelphia
             
Division AFC New England Indianapolis 23 23 New England
    Cincinnati San Diego 17 25 San Diego
             
  NFC Arizona New Orleans 23 27 New Orleans
    Philadelphia Minnesota 20 22 Minnesota
             
Conference AFC New England San Diego 24 24 San Diego
             
  NFC Minnesota New Orleans 24 26 New Orleans
             
Superbowl   San Diego New Orleans 23 26 New Orleans
    New Orleans San Diego 23 24 San Diego

If women didn’t make us crazy, chasing them wouldn’t be so much fun would it?
