Playoffs are more tricky. Will we be able to reach a consensus? I'm not sure since I feel the Packers will win it all............
Jags are healthier. Bucs offense is worse than ours. Gmen almost beat Pats. You can make the call Nemo but if your wrong...no say next week. Fair ?
My first inclination is to go with the Steelers, Seahawks, Chargers and Bucs, but I don't know if all 4 home teams will win this week. There has to be an upset game somewhere. I noticed that you both have the Skins beating the Seahawks, but I think I'm going to have to go with Seattle in this one. The Skins have the Taylor tragedy as motivation, but I still like Seattle's 7-1 home record and playoff experience against the 4-4 Road record and Taylor-less secondary of the Skins. The game I'm most on the fence about is the Giants vs Bucs game. The Giants (Manning) play much better on the road than they do at home, compiling a 7-1 ROAD record compared to a 3-5 home record. I have to work tomorrow and 2 of the 4 games will be played while I'm at work. So I'm going to tentatively put down all 4 home teams as my picks and if we are able to come to a consensus before I leave for work, I'll change them to whatever we decide.
I'M BACK from Thailand. Sorry guys. Lets do this playoff thing. I think we have to go for the Steelers, the Jags are getting overhyped imo. I agree with Jammer's comment about the Skins-Hawks and would like to choose the Seahawks at home. The Titans don't resemble an NFL team right now with all those guys out. Chargers win. My gut says to pick the Giants. I think I've been wrong on the Giants a number of times this season, but I just think they pull it out this time. So: Steelers Seahawks Chargers Giants So the votes so far are: Steelers iii Jags i Seahawks ii Skins ii Chargers iiii Titans Giants ii Bucs ii Nemo TheeTFD Jammer and I have weighed in with our opinions. The Giants-Bucs game is tied, but Jammer actually seems to feel more strongly that the Giants will win, so if we change his vote to the Giants, the only tie is Seahawks-Skins. Someone else needs to give us their vote to break the tie, otherwise, maybe we should go with the home team, which would be the Seahawks. So I am voting Steelers, Seahawks, Chargers, Giants, until someone can break the ties or convince me otherwise. Sound good to everyone?
I don't know, I'm still firmly on the fence on the Giants/Bucs. As of right now, I have the Bucs in the Picks game. I saw that earlier tonight. Garcia has had the Giants' number. I'm still leaning slightly towards the Bucs in this one. The experience of Garcia and Gruden over the mistake inclined, inexperience of Mini Manning. All things being equal, tough to pass up home field advantage in the playoffs (but that Giants road record is impressive). Oh decisions, decisions!
Well, I'm willing to go with the majority. I don't have strong feelings either way. I'm changing to the Bucs, for now, unless someone has a compelling argument otherwise.
There's my two cents...sorry it's late. Jags & Skins winning away and Chargers & Bucs winning at home.
That means I need to change my bucs pick. PISTONSFORUM.COM UNITED your going to hear it Monday if your wrong....
