Thank the Football Gods there are no good bets this week. I’m 0-3 on the season now. I hope Tampa gets shut out in every game for the rest of the season…

Pittsburgh’s reign at the top of the Superbowl hill has ended, New England is back again. It boggles the mind the amount of fear they seem to have instilled in teams that have to play against them, they simply aren’t the greatest team ever and I’m waiting for some underdog to demonstrate it. Here’s how the playoffs look to me:

Wild Cards AFC NY Jets Pittsburgh 17 22 Pittsburgh
Baltimore San Diego 19 23 San Diego
NFC Minnesota Philadelphia 20 24 Philadelphia
NY Giants Arizona 25 23 NY Giants
Division AFC Pittsburgh New England 19 23 New England
San Diego Indianapolis 20 25 Indianapolis
NFC Philadelphia New Orleans 22 24 New Orleans
NY Giants Green Bay 20 23 Green Bay
Conference AFC Indianapolis New England 20 24 New England
NFC Green Bay New Orleans 24 25 New Orleans
Superbowl New England New Orleans 26 24 New England

Analyst; It’s a deficit neutral spending bill.

Me: So… it’s magic?
