I'm not a betting man, although when I'm drunk I bet girls they wont take their shirt off and often win.

I'll just pick'em
Jets, St. Louis, 'Sota, NE

I'm insane.

I'm with the messageboard 'admin' Smokin...exact pics...here to wishful thinking!

 

Steelers
Rams
Eagles
Patriots

 

Are these picks straight up or against the line?

 

RE: Re: NFL Playoffs Week 2....you pickem

Straight up

 

well, i suck at picks..

steelers didnt cover,was sure they would, and i missed the vibes on the Rams completely

But I got the colts/Pats right. Whoever made the line on that game paid too much attention to Season Stats and not enough to the "intangibles"

 

I swear the Pats D is in Manning's head.

 

The Pats fans here understandably like to bash Manning. But the fact is with receivers who can't catch the ball in cold weather (maybe partly due to fear as well) and a weak defense he deserves a lot of credit for winning as many games as he did. Overall the Pats are a far superior team.

 

Yes they are... which is why I picked them.

But they MIGHT NOT be a better collection of player skills....

Does anyone see a connection, here?

Hmmmmmm?

 

As far as receivers and tight end yes.
Dillon it could be argued, is a better RB than James.
And though Brady does not put up the stats Manning does, Brady is the ultimate caretaker and always wins the big games and makes the passes that lead to key first downs.
