I was 4-0 last week and 3-1 this week, I didn't think the Indy/SD game would be the game I got wrong, but 7-1 for the playoffs isn't too shabby. I'm beating all the Fox and CBS guys who picked the Bucs last week and Indy and Dallas this week.
Seattle vs. Green Bay (Sat.)
PICK:Packers RESULT: Packers 42-20 The snow played a major factor throughout the game, by the fourth quarter the snow was falling so hard that WR's had a hard time seeing the ball. Packers RB Ryan Grant had 2 fumbles in the first quarter, and 200 yards and 3 TDs later he had more than made up for his mistakes, that had allowed the Seahawks to get up 14-0. The Packers came to play, SS Atari Bigby and LB Nick Barnett were sticking the Seahawks. And honestly how can Seattle RB Shaun Alexander cash his paycheck with a straight face, he is absolutely robbing the Seahawks the way he runs.

Jacksonville vs. New England (Sat.)
PICK: Patriots RESULT: Patriots 31-20 A lot closer than the Pats would have liked. Tom Brady had to be nearly perfect, completing 26 out of 28 passes for 262 yds and 3 TDs to help the Pats secure the win. The Jags fooled everyone by coming out throwing instead, of relying on the run and had great success through the air. The Patriots made the necessary adjustments at halftime and controlled the game in the 2nd half. The Patriots are now 17-0.

San Diego vs. Indianapolis (Sun.)
PICK: Colts RESULT: Chargers 28-24 Wow, the Chargers played most of this game without L.T., a banged up TE Antonio Gates and they lost Phillip Rivers to a knee injury in the 3rd quarter, although he was healthy enough to taunt the Indy crowd after the game. Didn't it use to be that you had to be good or at least playing to taunt? Super subs Michael Turner and Billy Volek did enough to keep the Chargers in the game. The Chargers medical staff will try to earn their money this week and get a team to New England for the AFC title game next week.

NY Giants vs. Dallas (Sun.)
PICK: NY Giants RESULT: Giants 21-17 The Giants continue their road success upping their mark to 9-1. Good news/Bad news for Tony Romo, Bad news, he helped Dallas become the first NFC #1 seed to lose in the Divisional round since the NFL changed the playoff format in 1990. Good news, Tony and Jessica Simpson can spend all the time they want in Cabo, because he probably isn't very welcome in Big D right now. RB Marion Barber was a beast in the first half, but Big Blue was able to contain him in the second half. The Cowboys tried to exploit the Giants injury riddled secondary, but the Dallas WRs dropped a lot of passes. The Giants haven't been spectacular, but getting the W is all that matters. And talk about weather shock for the G-men 70's in Tampa, 50's in Dallas, 20's-30's in Green Bay?
