Playoff Opening Week Power Picks (1/9/10 - 1/10/10)

I had to humiliate myself Monday afternoon on the Eddie Burke show. Yes, I called in and conceded to Rachelle. It just so happened I did so in front of a higher than normal number of listeners (Eddie was discussing a very controversial topic - protesting the judges who ruled that Tripp Palin's custody hearing should be open so that Levi Johnston could dance and sing for the stenographer and artist and be able to go outside on the steps with his lawyer and tell lies about Sarah Palin to the media).

Even the liberal wingnuts were listening. Here's what one Trig Truther site had to say about it.

Which means even the liberal Alaskan bloggers may have heard me concede to her.

But, that's okay. After the commercial Eddie and I just lambasted the liberal bloggers.


Okay, here we go. The rules for this week are 1) Pick the winner of the game and 2) Pick whether the total points of the game will be over or under the amount stated in the over/under line. You count if you're right on the over/under as a win as well as if the team you pick wins. So there are 8 combinations (4 teams and 4 over unders). Then you pick the exact points on the last game in case of a tie and whoever is closest wins.

Here are the teams and the lines:

Teams - (over/under)
Phi @ Dal - 45
Jet @ Cin - 35
Bal @ NE - 43
GB @ Ari - 48 tie breaker (predict the exact number of points)

Here are my picks:

Dal - under 45
Jets - over 35
NE - under 43
GB - over 48 - tie breaker 51


Good luck Rachelle. For my sake, let's hope your choice in political leaders is a lot better than your football picks.
