The regular season is done, my Saints are in, and the Less Worthies hit the field this weekend in a last-ditch effort to save themselves.
Since I finished the regular season 142-114 against the spread, I’m tempted to say I’m getting the hang of this guessing game very serious business of football picks… except I still think it’s all just voodoo.
Why? Because I did a second set of picks last week (that I didn’t post), and selected by coin toss. Heads equaled home team to win, and since I was on a tail-flipping streak, I went 11-5 against the spread — better than the 10-6 I posted both straight up and against.
Strange, yes?
Thus, I offer my Wildcard Week Playoff Picks, secure in the knowledge that I haven’t a clue what I’m doing:
Kansas City (+6.5) over INDIANAPOLIS
Dallas (+2.5) over SEATTLE
NEW ENGLAND (-8.5) over NY Jets (+8.5)
NY Giants (+6.5) over PHILADELPHIA
Same caveats apply: Winners are against the spread, straight-up winners are italicized, and the home team is in CAPS.
And as ever — for those who prefer actual analysis and rational thought, the GTL’s picks are available here.

Added: The reason I did those coin tosses was because last week, I suggested I’d be just as effective that way as when I labor and fret throw a dart. I decided to see if that was really true….
Uhmmmm… I dunno about “rational”, PM… LOL. Thanks (as always) for the link, Ma’am 🙂
Well, one down …. how did Indy win and Manning throw 3 int’s. …… Way to go Joe….
Yikes. One and one yesterday (Sat). I did better with my magic coin. The only good thing I took away from those games was that not one of them could possibly beat the Saints.
Poor Romo…
Oddly enough, we have family visiting here this weekend, one of which is a hard-core Patriots fan. We’ve been having a great time exchanging taunts and indulging in a bit of “smack talk”….
