So choose accordingly. <br /><br />Ivn, you aren't the only one to compare the Bengals to the Colts and the Jets to the Chiefs a few years ago. I think it could be an accurate comparison. I will have faith Dallas doesn't choke, I think it is their year. I am not a huge Ravens fan, so I like your stat a/b them against playoff teams. Good stat a/b the Packers and I think it is relevant. <br /><br />I guess I should go ahead and post my picks now...Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-90315135584628388712010-01-08T21:08:41.587-05:002010-01-08T21:08:41.587-05:00I'm going to put my picks down here real quick...I'm going to put my picks down here real quick:<br /><br />Cincinnati 20, NY Jets 7 (shades of the Denver/Indianapolis playoff game five or six years back when the Broncos whupped on the Colts in Week 17 when Indy had nothing to gain, and then the Colts came right back and squashed the Broncos. Mark Sanchez has been playing like shit and the Jets just aren't that good of a team)<br /><br />Dallas 37, Philly 24 (toughest one to pick, actually, because I would not be surprised if Dallas somehow gags and I think Philly can win it if they can get big plays early and turn this into a track meet)<br /><br />New England 28, Baltimore 17 (the Ravens seem like a hot pick but they went 1-6 against playoff teams this year, and that one win came three and a half months ago. they really haven't played well in big games at all this year.)<br /><br />Green Bay 26, Arizona 16 (a relevant stat that J.S. didn't mention: Green Bay was +22 in turnover margin, best in the league, and Arizona sits at -5. the Cards only had one less turnover than the 27-interception Bears.)ivnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-12778416643459087502010-01-08T20:38:08.280-05:002010-01-08T20:38:08.280-05:00Its hard to ignore that the Cardinals did play har...Its hard to ignore that the Cardinals did play hard last week, except they went down 14-0. It was only then that they pulled their starters. And Green Bay should be (minus Big Ben's game winning TD pass) on an 8 game winning streak.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521399272029891606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-70338668333024040902010-01-08T19:30:46.916-05:002010-01-08T19:30:46.916-05:00Yeah, if I recall correctly Peter had Chicago in t...Yeah, if I recall correctly Peter had Chicago in the Super Bowl. I can be accurate at times with sports picks. I feel like I generally do better with college sports, though that may not be accurate and it's all in my head. <br /><br />I saw on PK's Twitter that he mentioned he was 72nd and I had no idea what he was speaking about. No I get it. That is sad...what is worse is that I lost to him in the Pick 'Em this year. That's brutal to be 72nd though. <br /><br />Martin, my picks have been ready to go since yesterday, I just haven't posted them yet. I am with you on the Packers and I explain a little bit better in my pick. I don't feel 100% confident on any of my picks and I think my analysis will show that. It's so hard when the teams just played last week to project what they will do this week. You know some teams held stuff back.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-53232968507805106802010-01-08T18:07:10.301-05:002010-01-08T18:07:10.301-05:00I'd make the same picks J.S. did, except I thi...I'd make the same picks J.S. did, except I think the Packers are going to be able to beat the Cards. I think going back and playing them again will dampen the playoff atmosphere for Rodgers, since he jsut did it last week. The only team I would be surprised to see lose though would be the Cowboys. I think they completely have the Eagles number.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-15821654075110630072010-01-08T14:50:57.982-05:002010-01-08T14:50:57.982-05:00TheBigLead did a thing on mainstream media's p...TheBigLead did a thing on mainstream media's projections for the season.

Just wait until I decide to post my playoffs picks w/ analysis, they will make the pick of the Bears in the Super Bowl look like the smartest pick of the year.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-26550173337688190742010-01-08T12:13:26.841-05:002010-01-08T12:13:26.841-05:00I would list my own opinion of how the games will ...I would list my own opinion of how the games will go here in the comments, but I'm starting to feel uneasy with my pre-season pick of the Bears in the Super Bowl.
