Wild (Card) Weekend

It's been an interesting weekend, to say the least! 

The NFL Wild Card Games lived up to its name: 

-The largest margin of victory was 17 points (Chargers over Bengals)

-Colts erase  21-point halftime deficit to stun KC by 1

-Last-Second Field Goals by New Orleans (Shayne Graham) and San Francisco (Phil Dawson) to advance. 


Next week's games:  My picks are underlined

San Diego @ Denver (Peyton doesn't have "good" games outdoors and in the cold, but it's not going to matter much here.)

Indianapolis @ New England (Will the "Luck" continue for Indy? That's the only way I see them pulling off the upset. Tom Brady in the Playoffs is always a tough draw, no matter who he's throwing to.)

New Orleans @ Seattle (I think Seattle will win, but I hate Pete Carroll, can't root for 'em)

San Francisco @ Carolina (Coin-toss game, edge given to SF on defense and playoff experience) 


Side note: Congrats to Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp on his 4th career hat-trick (2nd in roughly a week). He should be one of the top skaters, along with Jonathan Toews on Team Canada at the Sochi Olympic Games in a little over a month. 

Stay warm and safe! Until next time...
