It lives. Especially as far as NFL playoff picks so far. If I think you’re going to win, you’re not. Period. Here are your examples just through two rounds of the playoffs.
My Super Bowl pick of Philadelphia vs. New England was wiped out almost immediately.
Cincinnati over the Jets? Nope.
Green Bay … well you get the idea.
So this past weekend I managed to pick one game correctly, the seemingly easiest of the four, the Colts over the Ravens. I thought Dallas would blast Minnesota and that the Cardinals were way too hot for a Saints team that hasn’t looked good for more than a month.
Wrong again. And again.
The best pick of the weekend came from my son, who made a steadfast guarantee the Jets would take care of the Chargers in what I thought would be a whopping upset.
So this weekend, just so you can make your plans, I’m going with the home teams, the Colts and the Saints.
