Predictions

Well, I just thought I'd give my football predictions for this weekend's NFL games. Here goes.

Seahawks over the Redskins. I just don't think the Redskins offense or defense can keep up with the Seahawks. Plus, the Seahawks are at home. The only way I see a Redskins win is if the Seahawks' nerves get to them, which could happen. However, I think if they just give the ball to Alexander, they've got a descent chance at winning.

Patriots over Broncos. This one really is a toss up for me. I've picked the Pat's for a couple reasons. 1) The team is much healthier and playing much better. 2) They've got the playoff experience. Not that Denver doesn't, but the Pat's have been there/done that so many times, their experience will help them not to lose. 3) Bellicheck (sp?). Good X's and O's coach. 4) Brady. Brady's not my favorite QB, but really there is no comparison to Plummer. Until Plummer makes it to the Superbowl, the Pat's have a much better QB. 5) I just don't like the Broncos.

Colt's over Steelers (in the best game of the weekend). This one will be close. I must admit, I'm a huge Payton Manning fan, and truly hopes that this is the year he wins his ring. Also, Dungy might be my favorite head coach in the league. Not that the Steelers don't have some characters I root for. In Bettis's last year (almost certainly), it would be nice for him to win a ring, and Cower never looks happy (which makes me giggle). Which ever team wins this game will be my pick to win the superbowl.

Panther's over Bears. Actually, this one will turn out to be Vikings over Bears. You see, the Panther's earlier this week were replaced by the Vikings. At the end of the game, everyone on the Panther's team will take of their helmets to reveal masks, which when off will be Vikings player. Makes sense, Vikes have had the Bears number for awhile, and since Carolina lost to the Bears earlier this year, the Panthers will let the Vikings play in their spot. (Except Tice won't be there, so obviously the Vikings will win.)

Next Week, AFC and NFC championship picks.

So far, I'm one for one with Seattle winning earlier today. And with the Pat's ahead when I last checked (3-0), at the end of Saturday's games, I may be 2 - 0. Woo hoo.

Well, .500 would put you in the MLB hall of fame. For what it's worth I pretty much agreed with all of your picks.
