Weekend Playoff Picks
For the first time in a few years I am really interested in the divisional playoffs. I think there are eight good teams playing in the four games over the weekend. I am sure, if you have any interest in football that you have an opinion on the outcome or read any of the thousand sportswriters picks. Well, I am going to throw my 2 cents in as well. Take it for what it is worth, because I don't profess to be a complete expert on all sports. Here is my take:
Saturday -
Seahawks vs. Redskins:
I know, you are asking yourself how can a bunch of Seahawks defeat a tribe of Redskins? Normally I would say they can't, but the Redskins are slow, plus they are really beat up. They are strong fighters and don't quit easily, but I think the Seahawks are too fast for them. Their beaks are sharp and those talons are really, really nasty. They fly high then drop like a rock out of the sky, knocking their prey before they know what hit them. I know that the Redskins protect themselves well, they put up a good defense, but I think those birds can see everything and use the air much better. And for a bunch of birds they manage to get around on the ground exceedingly well. Seahawks by 10.
Broncos vs. Patriots:
Broncos are fast and they are accustomed to running around at that high altitude. Like the Colts, they are young and always seem to have a bunch of fast runners. Plus they have that sneaky Jake Bronco. He is berry, berry twicky. He never does what you expect. I loved him when he was still a youngster in school down in Arizona. The Patriots are a long way from their New England home, but they are tough, they did beat the entire British Empire after all. I know they had a big game last week, but I think they are ready. They come into town with their Brady muskets. Those muskets have managed to do an awful lot of damage the past few years. I realize they are single shot muzzle loaders, but over the course of 60 minutes they should have more than enough time to shoot 22 Broncos. Patriots by 3.
Sunday -
Colts vs. Steelers:
The Colts are young, quick, and strong. They are bigger than most Colts you find these days. Their hooves are stronger and they manage to get up fast and swing their legs around in the air much harder than anything I have seen. Plus, if you get behind them they can kick the living shit out of you. I don't think a group of Steelers, right out of the factory, is going to be able to keep up with them. They're probably tired and out of shape. I've seen those Steel Workers. They drink a lot of beer, spend time in bars and seldom work out. I know that Bettis guy is big. He has a great beer belly, but I doubt he can be effective the entire game. He is a spot player at best. I think the Colts are going to run all around these guys. Colts win by 10.
Bears vs. Panthers:
Now this is a really interesting game. Those Panthers are big, and fast. They have been training hard and seem to be coming into their own at just the right time. If last week was any indication against the big, mighty Giants, those Bears are going to get all they can handle. The thing about the Bears is that they give the appearance of being big and lumbering. However, did you know that they can run down a horse in a quarter mile? They are deceptive. The Grossman Bear was hurt and there is certainly some question whether he is ready, especially for Panthers, but I think he can get his act together and do some real damage. I feel the Bears just might be fast enough to force the Panthers to change their game plan and get too close for their own good. Then it will be all over, they are going to get caught by those amazingly powerful, sharp claws and teeth. I like the Bears by 3.
