NFL Playoff Picks (Weak Three)



After raising my record to an illustrious 2-4 last week, and knocking out one of my Super Bowl teams (Atlanta) in the process, I shall try this thing again, just to see what happens. The worst I can do is drop my record to 2-6. The best I can do is break even.

Jets at Steelers: I'll take the Steelers, because they are at home, and Troy Polamalu is playing. I think the Jets are a worthy opponent, however, and they have a good chance to win. I imagine it will be a close game.

Packers at Bears: This is a really tough pick, because both teams are pretty good. Aaron Rogers is proving to be way better than Jay Cutler, but the Packers don't run the ball all that well (one playoff game excepted). The Bears have a great defense. The Packers lost to the Bears early in the year, then beat them the last week of the season. I am meandering all about, because I want to pick the Bears, but I think the Packers will win. So, I'll go with the Packers, I guess.
So that would make for a Super Bowl with the Steelers and Packers.

The NFL does not want two small tv markets in the superbowl, even two older franchises. Chicago or jets make the bowl if it comes down to a close game and officiating.
