Wild Card Weekend

Post Season

Happy New Year! I hope you all survived New Years Eve. I was able to spend it with my family for the first time since 2002. I wasn’t able to watch football this past weekend because of calling hours for my Gramma so I don’t know how well I can recap.

I’m sad that the Giants’ season is now over but hey, there is always next year right? Are you ready for Wild Card Weekend? Did your team make it to the playoffs? If they did congratulations, and if they didn’t I feel your pain. I did pretty decent with my picks last week at 12-4… Here are Week 17’s final scores and regular season final records…

Buccaneers [7-9] @ Falcons [13-3] 22-17

Little surprised at this score.

Jets [6-10] @ Bills [6-10] 9-28

No surprise here.

Bears [10-6] @ Lions [4-12] 26-24

Thanks Lions for ruining the Giants chance at the playoffs…

Panthers [7-9] @ Saints [7-9] 44-38

Panthers did better than most thought.

Eagles [4-12] @ NY Giants [9-7] 7-42

OK, so I didn’t get to watch this game but I was able to listen to part of the first quarter while driving to the airport to pick up my brother and his family. I heard the onside kick to start the game, the Vick interception and two Eli touchdowns. By looking at the score it went pretty well for the GMEN. It’s a shame the season had to end for them but I’m glad they went out with a bang… especially against the Eagles. GO GMEN!

Browns [5-11] @ Steelers [8-8] 10-24

Hey, at least we don’t have to watch the Steelers in the playoffs this year…

Texans [12-4] @ Colts [11-5] 16-28

Way to go Colts

Jaguars [2-14] @ Titans [6-10] 20-38

Poor Jags.

Ravens [10-6] @ Bengals [10-6] 17-23

Woot Woot Bengals!

Packers [11-5] @ Vikings [10-6] 34-37

Little surprised but I’m pretty sure the Packers will get them next time.

Dolphins [7-9] @ Patriots [12-4] 0-28

Did the Dolphins even show up for this game?

Raiders [4-12] @ Chargers [7-9] 21-24

Good, close game of who could care less.

Cardinals [5-11] @ 49ers [11-4-1] 13-27

No surprise here either.

Rams [7-8-1]  @ Seahawks [11-5] 13-20

I thought the Seahawks would have run up the score a little bit more.

Chiefs [2-14] @ Broncos [13-3] 3-38

Now that the Giants are out of the playoffs I might just have to jump on the Broncos bandwagon.

Cowboys [8-8] @ Redskins [10-6] 18-28

Again, I didn’t watch the game but pretty happy with the outcome. I heard Romo choked … shocking.

Wild Card Weekend

Saturday, January 5th   

Bengals [10-6] @ Texans [12-4] 4:30pm NBC)

I’d like to see the Bengals win and I think they can do it so I’m going with Cincinnati.

Vikings [10-6] @ Packers  [11-5] (8pm NBC)

I don’t think the Packers will lose to the Vikings two weeks in a row so I’ll have to pick Green Bay for the win.

Sunday, January 6th   

Colts [11-5] @ Ravens [10-6] (1pm CBS)

I love Ray Lewis, and knowing that he’s retiring, I don’t think this will be his last game. I’m picking the Ravens to win.

Seahawks [11-5] @ Redskins [10-6] (4:30pm FOX)

It’s the battle of the rookie quarterbacks and I’m going to have to take Shortie McShorterson and the Seahawks over RG3 and the Redskins.

Thanks for the edit Mom!
