I thought I was going to break out with a couple big
wins in Week 2 of the playoffs, and, that's all I got,
a couple big wins. A couple big losses had me even on
the week. Check out where I got hammered and how I came
out on top…
Saturday:
Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints (-5):
(loss) For the 3rd time in two weeks, I took
the favorite to win, and just barely got beat by a couple
points, but such is the way it goes. The Saints and
Eagles were pretty darn even, but New Orleans got a
huge game from Deuce McAllister. It was Deuce who kept
the Eagles defense on the field much too long down the
stretch, slanging the Eagles to get themselves one win
away from the big show.
Indianapolis Colts (+4) @ Baltimore Ravens: (win)
Peyton finally slayed his 3-4 demons, ousting the Ravens
on the road for a shot at the Patriots, for old times'
sake. But it wasn't really Peyton who won the game for
Indy, he had 2 picks on and didn't lead his Colts on
a single touchdown drive. It was Indy's newfound stalwart
defense, holding the Ravens under 300 yards of total
offense, and forcing 4 turnovers in the game. Indy will
find themselves in the Super Bowl if their defense can
step up and give Tom Brady and the patriots hell.
Sunday:
Seattle Seahawks (+9.5) @ Chicago Bears: (win)
The Hawks couldn't get the win in Chicago, but obviously
Seattle came to win the game in Chicago. As it turns
out, the Hawks were hurt more than they led on to. Matt
Hasselbeck had broken fingers and a torn labrum, while
the Hawks only had 1 starter from their original lineup
in the secondary. But Seattle still had a shot late
but couldn't get her done, and Robbie Gould hit a 49
yarder to stick Chicago in the NFC Championship, hosting
the Saints.
New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers (-4.5):
New England got some unbelievable luck, and the Chargers
did all they could not to win this game, and Tom Brady
and the Patriots pulled out yet another game with me
betting against them. It has been a tough road for me
following the Pats, but once again, I won't be taking
them against the Colts next week.
