WILD CARD WEEKEND

We’ve made it to the post season. Happy Wild Card Weekend to you. There are games today and tomorrow.  As you can see, I’ve waited until the last minute to write and post this again.   I went 11-5 with my picks last week and the Giants won. The last week of the regular season was good. Lets recap.


Ravens @ Bengals 10-27
Sure, when there is nothing at stake the Bengals came to play.

Texans @ Titans 17-24
It must be hard for the Titans who ended the season with the same record as their division champs but failed to make the playoffs.

Panthers @ Buccaneers 16-17
I think the Panthers are glad that this season is actually now over for them. The nightmare is over. They now look to new beginnings and a longer offseason than last year.  The Bucs celebrate their first winning season in 6 years even though they didn’t make it to the playoffs. Baby steps.

Browns @ Steelers 24-27 OT
The Browns almost had their second win of the season but the Steelers spoiled that. The Browns did seal the number one draft pick with this OT loss though.

Cowboys @ Eagles 13-27
Tony Romo may have thrown his last touchdown pass as a Cowboy and Dallas loses to the Eagles. Great game. It’s not often that I actually pull for the Eagles and I’m glad they didn’t let me down.

Bills @ Jets 10-30
This game was as pathetic as the Jets season. Even though they won the game they really have nothing to be proud of. For the Bills, at least they are used to only playing the regular season.

Bears @Vikings 10-38
The Vikings had a rollercoaster of a season while the Bears just flat lined.

Jaguars @ Colts 20-24
The Colts literally relied on Luck to win this game but didn’t have enough luck to make it to the post season for the first time in years.  

Patriots @ Dolphins 35-14
New England blah, blah, blah, at least we don’t have to watch them play next week as they secured a first round bye and home field advantage with this win.

Chiefs @ Chargers 37-27
KC also secured a first round bye with this win and help from Oakland.  

Cardinals @ Rams 44-6
The Cardinals beat their opponents soundly. Ouch.  

Raiders @ Broncos 6-24
It’s safe to say that Oakland is in trouble without Derek Carr.

NY Giants @ Redskins 19-10
It was great to see the Giants win and even nicer to see them knock the Redskins out of the hopes of post-season play. Kirk Cousins, you like that? The Giants defense played a great game, now the offense really has to step up. Good job Gmen!

Seahawks @ 49ers 25-23
Chip Kelly lost his coaching job after this loss and even though Seattle won they didn’t look great, in my opinion.

Saints @ Falcons 32-38
Matty Ice for MVP? Atlanta fans think so. It’s a good thing he has wide receivers that can actually catch the ball. It is pretty amazing that Atlanta is seeded second in the NFC.

Packers @ Lions 31-24
The Packers are the division champs and the Lions also make the playoffs.






WILD CARD WEEKEND



Saturday, January 7th 


Raiders (12-4) @ Texans (9-7) [4:35pm ESPN, ABC]
If Derek Carr was playing I’d pick the Raiders to win hands down, but he isn’t so I’m going to have to pick the Texans for the win.

Lions (9-7) @ Seahawks (10-5-1) [8:15pm NBC]
I’d like to see the Lions win this game but I can’t pick against Seattle at home. I’m picking the Seahawks for the win.




Sunday, January 8th 

Dolphins (10-6) @ Steelers (11-5) [1:05pm CBS]
Like the Lions, I’d like to see the Dolphins win this game but I’m not going to pick against the Steelers at home. I’m picking Pittsburgh for the win.

NY Giants (11-5) @ Packers (10-6) [4:40pm FOX]
The Giants have done it before and they can do it again. I’m picking the Giants to win this game. Our defense is solid and playoff Eli is way better than regular season Eli. Let’s hope the right Eli shows up Sunday.


BYE: Patriots, Chiefs, Cowboys, Falcons

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
