To recap the NFL Postseason so far: Jeremy was right about the Cowboys beating the Eagles, the Jets beating the Bengals, and the Ravens beating the Patriots. He picked the Packers, Cardinals, Ravens, Cowboys, and Chargers and lost. So after a sterling 3-1 start, I dropped to 3-5 after the Divisional Playoff Round.
But I am not one to lie in the dust after getting thrown by this bronckin buck. So let's try this again.
Lamar Hunt Bowl XL
The Indianapolis Colts will host the New York Jets in the battle for the Lamar Hunt Trophy. This is the first time these two teams have fought for control of the AFC. The Colts are making their sixth appearance (2-3 overall, 2-1 home), and the Jets are making their third appearance (0-2 overall, 0-2 road). History favors the Colts. I also told my oldest friend back in September that the Jets would make it to the Super Bowl. But my father-in-law is from Indiana, so I'm going to go with the Colts.
George Halas Bowl XL
The New Orleans Saints will host the Minnesota Vikings in the battle for the George Halas Trophy. These teams have never fought for the Halas either. The Saints are making their second appearance (0-1 overall, 0-0 home); the Vikings are making their eighth appearance (3-4 overall, 1-3 road). The Vikings haven't won since 1976. I told my oldest friend back in September that the Saints would make it to the Super Bowl, so I'm picking them.
Super Bowl XLIV
The New Orleans Saints will be making their very first Super Bowl appearance.* The Indianapolis Colts will be making their fourth appearance (second as a midwestern team). The Colts are 2-1, including 1-0 since moving to Indianapolis. I'm a little torn, but I gotta pick the team that beat the team that beat my team. I'm picking the Saints.
*This is ironic because New Orleans has hosted more super bowls than any other city except Miami.
There you have it, folks. Let's hope that I can break even after this week.
