Ed's Playoff Picks, Wild Card edition:

Jets at Bungles. Bungles by a hair. Bungles aren't that great, but Sanchez turns into Mark Malone. A slightly brown Mark Malone

Ravens at pats. Ravens. I normally don't pick Pats games, but the bellicheat excuse machine makes me. "Brady has banged up ribs!" "the texans turf injured welker!" The pats dynasty is over. Fuck you Tim.

Green Bay at 'Zona. Green Bay. I'll take the GB linebackers anyday.

Eagles at 'Boys. 'Boys. I'd rather have Donovan win, but Tony Homo pulls it out. 

No point spreads, because I don't give a fuck. bite me.

Okay, for shits and giggles, my complete playoff pics:

Wild Card:
Patriots over Ravens.  Probably the toughest call, but I'm not betting against New England.
Bengals over Jets.  No way I'm betting with Sanchez.
Green Bay over Arizona.
Eagles over Cowboys.  No way this'll be the Cowboys first playoff win in over a decade.

Next Round (and gee I hope I get the matchups right):
Indianapolis over Cincinnati.
New England over San Diego.
New Orleans over Philadelphia
Minnesota over Green Bay (damn that'd be an interesting game)

Conference Round:
Indianapolis over New England
Minnesota over New Orleans (hell, I dunno)

Superbowl:
Indianapolis over Minnesota

Heard they want to hire Pete Carrol.

Better him than another shitty Bellicheat disciple.

Heh guess he knows the shit is gonna hit the fan with still dealing with Bush errors and now McKnight's?

If I Fed-Ex him a Utica tomato pie and some Chicken Riggies will that change his mind?

  Throw in some Saranac beer and a few Hemstraught's half moons while you're at it.  Even he couldn't resist Utica's finest culinary delights.

[Caliga]

I would like to try chicken riggies (I keep forgetting to make it myself), but I've hate plenty of tomato pie, which is popular in Philly also.

now spiess, what was that about knowing where to get scrapple?

[derspiess]

They got injured enough as it was.  Thankfully, checking out the injury report, all active/injured players have practiced this week & all but one are listed as Probable.

So hopefully the Bungles are healthy enough to put up a strong fight to prevent the 'Super Bowl favorites' from advancing tomorrow.

I wish...  

You wish, but your team's doughy, teeth-whitened coach believes it
