Burried By The Buzz

RE: Joe Paterno. I might type a real blog post about his legacy post scandal and how it relates to social media but so much sports on television.

Baltimore +9 at New England (This looks bad. Really bad)

New York at San Francisco -3 (As if we really needed the Giants to win to satiate everyone’s underdog jerkoff fest. Tip: You can’t be the underdog if 70 percent have you favored to win)

This is the first time since 2006 that the divisional playoff is made up of all divisional winners. People talk about parity, but this season did not have that and there were a pool of teams that were clearly the best. 

Saints -4 @ 49ers (This is the first time since 2006 that the divisional playoff is made up of all divisional winners. People talk about parity, but this season did not have that and there were a pool of teams that were clearly the best. Also, Carlos Rogers if you have an all-pro game this week, I swear to fuck I will choke everything. )

Broncos +14 @ Pats (Man oh man the internet existing for Tebow’s game was fantastic. Now, he gets his chance to be the legend. If he topples Brady, gets by the inevitable tough defense facing him, and then wins the Super Bowl just to get benched next year, I just may eat some cyanide. Sports would never get better.)

Texans +9 @ Ravens (Though I think the Ravens will pull this off and are going to the Super Bowl, I think the Texans have a lot of fight left. Also, another week means an even healthier Andre Johnson, and the Ravens defense might not be able to contain such a thing. Or, maybe I’m wrong and Flacco will silence everyone. Hahahahaha, just kidding, it’s Flacco)

Giants @ Packers -9 (The people who think this team is going to magically have a year like they did during the 18-1 are naive and underestimate how different that defense is now. Sure, it can still rush the passer, but it doesn’t have the linebackers to stop the run and can’t really cover as well as they could. This is really the only spread I think is dead on, though)

Cincinnati @ Houston -4 (Tempting to take the points, but Andre Johnson will be on the field. Either QB could play terribly, because you can’t depend on rookies, but as the Texans get healthier and healthier, I think they can make something happen and shock some people. Either of these teams staying in the playoffs makes me happy)

Detroit +11 @ Saints (Wow, way to sleep on one of the only two other teams that has a 5,000 yd QB this season. To think the Lions can’t shoot with some of the better offensive teams in these playoffs is just silly. They also have one of the scariest defenses because I like them pressuring the line of scrimmage just as much as I like the Ravens. This team can win this ballgame)

Falcons @ Giants -3 (Both of these teams are not really that good. The Giants need to keep healing up, and everyone who keeps talking about what they did in their superbowl run hasn’t really looked at this roster to see how much they have lost since then. And, the Falcons sham run is from beating mediocre teams and then getting trounced when they played good teams. I don’t like either of them going forward)

Steelers - 8 @ Broncos (The nerve John Fox has to even allow the media to foster this negativity about Tebow playing all four quarters is stupid. He gives you the best chance to win, and he got you there. You knew what you were getting when you put him in position to start, and now you’re mad that you’re getting that inconsistency you should have expected. You’re not winning this game with anyone behind center, anyway, play the guy who got you there - he’s earned it)
