NFL Wildcard Saturday

Pair Of Upsets

Alright, So I was getting upset when I watched endless predictions and suddenly everyone started jumping on the Charger bandwagon, claiming they were the most complete team playing this weekend. They counted out the Jets defense... who of course allowed the occasional big play to L.T. or Gates. I think the Chargers were a great team but the Jets had the experience and the statement to make.

Back to my point, of about the 40 predictions for this weekend I saw maybe 35 of them claim that there would be no upsets, of course several claimed that Rams over the Seahawks would not be an upset, but everyone counted out the Jets.

My original statement for this weekend was a complete round of upsets... I know I sound crazy but I have to get this shit in print before it happens. The Vikings always give the Pack a helluva game. And the Broncos over Colts, well ya never know. I'll admit there's a very scarce chance that both these games could be upsets but it could happen. And I like the idea of playing the J-E-T-S, instead of the Colts next weekend (especially now that Law is official out of action).

Tomorrow's Scores:
27-24 Broncos... 28-24 Vikings...

So here we go with my predictions for next week:
If Broncos Win:
Steelers 20, Broncos 17
Patriots 20, Jets 10

If Colts Win:
Jets 20, Steelers 17
Patriots 30, Colts 27

If Vikings Win:
Eagles 27, Vikings 17
Rams 20, Falcons 17

If Packers Win:
Eagles 27, Rams 20
Falcons 31, Packers 17

I sometimes feel as if the announcers and sports analyists make their predictions based upon whether or not they can back up their facts on air and sound good and sometimes they miss the obvious.

...and then there were 10...
