So the Divisional Playoff games were all pretty lousy, even the Bolts-Jets which went to the end seemed to lack something. I couldn't watch Ravens-Colts (I still feel the pain), but following on my BB it definitely seemed like there wasn't any drama at all, though it looked like there were some great plays from the highlights. Vikes-Cowboys was only good because Dallas was embarrassed, thoroughly, but that wore off pretty quickly. I won't say anything about Cards-Saints, except it was obvious it was over when the Cards' 2nd Cornerback went out.
The best part of the weekend I think was all that awesome analysis where the Cowboys were proclaimed Super-Bowl champions by everybody before the game, and then they didn't even bother showing up for it. I think it would be history making TV if every pre-game show played those predictions back to the guys who made them and then asked them to justify it. If I knew that was going to happen I would probably tune in. But since I got to see just about every "expert" on those shows be 100% wrong, I think I actually have something beyond total disrespect for them. After a performance like that, if you were right about everything for a year, I probably still wouldn't trust you. Good show football experts, you make the banks and government institutions running the US economy look competent. That's saying something.
Anyways, Conference Championships.
I can't see how the Jets can beat the Colts, even thought the Karma is strong for it. The Jets already beat one team that laid down to get them into the playoffs, it would be fitting if they did it again. The Jets played the perfect game plan to kill SD's season last week, but the Colt's have seen that play, they were beating the Jets before they shut it down in week 16, and there's not any reason to believe they won't do it again. Miami tried to run out the clock on Manning early this season and still ended up losing. Revis is awesome, but he can't cover all of Manning's options, and if the Jets try that, the Colt's can run if they have to. Anyways I can cheer the fact that Jet's fans can keep rubbing Pat's fans noses in it.
Saints-Vikes, I have no idea. I believe it's going to be the Saints because of the home field, but I'm cheering the Vikes the whole way, they are my only remaining pick. Hopefully it will be a great game.
Good news is I get too watch both of these, it's already planned.
