Power Position Betting Quick Hits WildCard Review

Well, this went almost as expected. Both New York teams out, Colts advancing, and Seattle winning on their home field.

But the actual games were, as always, a different story. Let's start with the Colts. I was saying before the game, though not on the blog because I'm an idiot, that the Colts D should not be slept on. I didn't think Larry Johnson and his five billion carries in the regular season would be able to take on the Colts, not in Indy, not in a wild card game. What I did not expect was that Peyton would throw a complete clunker of a game. I know Ty Law was lining up against him, I know Ty Law owns him, but c'mon, it was the wild card. This is Manning's time to shine--and I know, hey, what about that game against the Jets, believe me I didn't forget, but that was away. In the dome, it is Manning's home. So what does this mean for next week? Will the Ravens smack him in the mouth? Smack him back to the television screen where hundreds of commercials, half idiotic versions of him, play almost non-stop?

The trend would say yes, but it may be anti-trend time, and I actually expect Manning to handle the Ravens D all right. I think the Colts pull out with a victory next week.

J-E-T-S time. The team completely fell apart after Vince Wilfork recovered the backward pass that turned into a fumble. I fell apart too, watching the game, because I knew it was over. Not that I actually thought we would win, but because we were keeping it close, and if you keep things close in any sports...hey, you never know. So now the Pats are off for San Diego, where team officials are making it illegal basically to sell a ticket to a Pats fan, and what can we expect there? The Chargers have a great D, the Tomlinson factor, and Antonio Gates. The Pats have...um...Tom Brady. But the Pats have the better coach, and they will pull out a win from the rookie Rivers and the perennially frustrated Marty.

Because that would set up Pats VS Colts, in Indy...and who doesn't want to see that game.

Might as well start with the Blue men, feeling a bit blue. They tie the game, but give the other team just enough time to win the game. Hmm...where have we seen that before? Oh yeah, a couple weeks ago. Good job Giants. Garcia did just enough, and now it's Eagles VS the Saints and let's not get too ahead of ourselves with these upsets, the Saints are going to win.

The Saints are going to the Super Bowl.

In the other game, oh...the other game. Oh...the other game. Romo, oh Romo, where for art thou Romo? Hopefully some place far away...because people in Dallas are bitter and you know all about them crazy Texans and their guns, they ain't ashamed to deal some justice...because man did you give that whole state a blow to the face. There is nothing left to say about that game, except that it sets up a Seahawks/Bears game in Chicago which will result in a Bears victory.

Two underdogs in the AFC, two favorites in the NFC...at least...that's how CollegeBoy sees it, and wants to see it... It makes for better entertainment, and that's all I care about now. See you folks.
