[QUOTE=HighLordDave]That particular dishonour belongs to someone else already, Z.

Back in week 1, Bloodstalker posted 5 wins in a 16 game week. Kipi posted 4 wins back in week 10, and BS also posted 4 wins in week 5 (both were 14 game weeks).[/QUOTE]

Damn. I got nothing to brag about, bad or good. :(

Anyways...
Redskins over Buccaneers
Patriots over Jaguars
Panthers over Giants
Steelers over Bengals

Seattle had a weak season. Actually statisticly I think they had one of the weakest seasons. 2-2 against playoff teams (which is one loss by the skins). Washington is going through seattle to the nfc championship. Oh lord im drooling... im actually drooling.

Here are the results for Wild Card Weekend:

Bloodstalker 4-0 (100.00%)
Jwmblade 4-0 (100.00%)
The Z 4-0 (100.00%)
HLD 3-1 (75.00%)
qwertitus 3-1 (75.00%)
TonyMontana1638 3-1 (75.00%)
Weasel 3-1 (75.00%)
Home Team Wins 1-3 (25.00%)

Next week's games are:

Washington at Seattle
New England at Denver
Pittsburgh at Indianapolis
Carolina at Chicago

I don't mean to bias anyone's picks, but since going to the 12-team playoff format, home teams are 49-11 (81.67%) in the divisional round.

Anyone care to bet against history?

Those seabunnies happen to have one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, a pro-bowl quarterback and oww...what...what's that. Oh yeah! The MVP of the NFL. Do you really think the skins are going to win with another 17 point showing? Santana Moss is going to have snap out their last game or Washington is going home. Either way a great shoot-out.

By the way that had to be the worst game I have ever seen the Giants play last week. Me, a huge Giants fan, turned it off half-way to watch Vince Carter shoot a buzzer beater to beat a surging Toronto.

Steelers over Colts- Pittsburg remembers getting beat down physically last time. Won't happen again. Even if the Steelers lose this week, the Colts will know they've been in a fight.

Skins over Seahawks- Toss last weeks Washington game out the window. Seattles D isn;t the Bucs D. If you stop Alexander, which Washington will do, Seattle isn't all that. Esp if you look at their schedule and see they really didn't beat anyone to get where they are, and barely split their games this year against winning teams.

Panthers over Bears- Giants shot of their mouth about their defensive ends being better than Carolina's, and look what happened. This week, Agunleye has said the Panthers don't deserve the respect they get. They've never done anything. But the Bears have once (I have no idea what he's talking about on that one unless he was actually playing in 85). Bears get killed in Chicago. Good riddence.

Pats over Broncos- I refuse to pick Plummer over Brady in a playoff game, regardless of how Plummer played during the regular season. And Plummer will have to be the one to beat NE cause they ain't running the ball this time.


There you go, all picks for the away teams. And I believe every one of them. It's the playoffs, and all the high flying offenses that dominate the regular season will get weeded out unless they have the defense to back it up. Colts are improved, but give up too many points when they play good teams. Skins will stop Alexander if they don't accomplish anything else. Bears D is great, but their O won;t be able to score much after they called out the Panther Defense (dumbasses) And Brusci locks down the middle to keep the Broncos from running the ball.

What the Hell? I sucked all year long, why not let it all hang out in the playoffs?

Just to be honest with you I went 2-2, not 3-1 (I had the Giants and Bucs). Dammit.

Seahawks over Redskins - I like the 'Skins and all, but they're hurting and tired after a really intense wild card game
Patriots over Denver - Three B's why NE wins: Belichick, Brady, Bruschi
Colts over Steelers - I'm going with homefield although it'd be great if The Bus's season continues
Panthers over Bears - I'm with BS...wrong defence to call out with CHI's offence

BS can you've imagined how great the skins are doing? They can break the over hyped weak scheduled hawks. Only thing that hurts them is the big trip with little practice time.

Im looking forward for mean ST#21 to make up for his mistake and let his team know why he is there.

Skins Bears nfc championship.

Bears are second in red zone scoring? So what, they went 4 out of 5 this year? :p They have to get inside the red zone before that even becomes a factor, which given the Bears offense they might manage to do once this week. :D

RE:Seattles stats...League MVP's rarely play in the Super Bowl (Ask Peyton Manning, McNair, Barry Sanders, etc). None of those guys got to the SB the year they won the award. They do have a Pro Bowl QB, but this is in the NFC where Michael Vick made the Pro Bowl and the usual QB's like Dante, Donavan, and Brett either were injured themselves of played with third stringers all year because everyone else was injured. They also had a weak schedule, similar to what Philly had all those years when they lost in the playoffs after dominating the regular season.

I pick the Skins because I'm a rabid Skins fan :p , The Skins have the defense to take Alexander out of the game, and Seattle has an annoying habit of losing playoff games that they should win. :p IMO, this will either be a Seahwk win via blowout, or a Skins win in a close game. I'm going with the Skins defense to keep it close.
