Out of the Blue

I ended up at .500 picking last week's NFL playoff games, which is not impressive, especially when not using the point spread (though I wonder how many people outside of Seattle picked the Seahawks?). Let's see if we can improve on that this week: Steelers, Packers, Bears, Patriots.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Packers, Seahawks, Ravens, Jets. Funny thing is the sporting news called for a Packers v. Jets superbowl this year at the beginning of the season.

With a bit of an edge, since the Steelers/Ravens game has already started, I'll agree with blue. Of course, as a Pats fan, I'll also pick them to go the whole way.
