I Am Ready For Some Football
Kickoff is minutes away. I’d better make my final four pics.
Last year, I did pretty well, predicting three of the four teams, the Colts’ four-point margin of victory in the AFC title game, and the eventual Super Bowl champ and MVP.
This year, everyone’s picking the Pats, Colts or Chargers. I think the Colts will regress to about 10-6. The Pats and Chargers look great, but it’s no fun picking the favorites. So I’ll go out on my own here.
AFC Championship Game
Denver 27
Baltimore 9
NFC Championship Game
New Orleans 38
St. Louis 10
Super Bowl XLII
New Orleans 20
Denver 17
Super Bowl MVP: Reggie Bush
My St. Louis pick is wishful thinking. My fantasy fortunes are tied up with Marc Bulger and Steven Jackson. I’m expecting a long year for the Giants – 8-8 at best, with plenty of off-the-field nonsense and five months of “We Want Cowher” chants in the Meadowlands.
Guess it’s time to see how my Saints look. If anyone wants to leave their picks in the comments section, please do so. Come January we’ll share in knowing how clueless we were.
