The long-awaited return...

Hey all!

It's great to be back on the blog. Now, things might change a little bit in 2007. After talking to some of my faithful readers, I decided that I will keep the blogs shorter this year, but write more often. So stay on the lookout...

Now, before I get into my predictions for this weekend's NFL Wild Card games, I would like to give a special shoutout toVeillotron, who perhaps had the biggest night in the history of our pool yesterday: his team scored 28 points! Yes, you read that right: the second-to-last team in the pool got 28 points in 1 night. Cujo got a shutout, Ovechkin had 3 points, Marleau had 4, Ryan Smyth also had 4, and he had 6 other players with 2 points. That, my friends, is an amazing night.

Now, onto my NFL Picks:

Kansas City at Indianapolis: The last time these 2 teams met, not a single punt was attempted. This could be the same type of game. 2 things are for sure: Larry Johnson will run wild on the Indy defense and Peyton Manning will torch the very average KC secondary. In the end, it's going to come down to who gets the ball last and who can score the quickest. That's the Colts. Indianapolis 41 - Kansas City 34

Dallas at Seattle:
Here are 2 teams that are literally backing into the playoffs. Neither of those teams has any momentum right now. The Seattle secondary is hurting badly, and that will be exposed by Tony Romo. Still, Romo is going to make mistakes. And with the Dallas defense having huge issues these days, 1 or 2 mistakes could make the difference. Seattle 24 - Dallas 17

NY Jets at New England:
The Patriots suffered a real blow when they lost S Rodney Harrison for this game and possibly more. The Patriots will try to impose their running game, but the Jets will be ready for it. This game is gonna come down to the play of the QB's. In the end, I don't see either Brady or Pennington playing a great game, but when the game is tight, I have learned that you don't bet against Brady. New England 16 - NY Jets 10

NY Giants at Philadelphia:
The Giants finally played a good game last week against Washington, but it was, after all, just the Redskins. Look for D-Coord. Jim Johnson of the Eagles to crowd the line of scrimmage to stop Tiki Barber and try to confuse Eli Manning. That means that there will be single coverage on the outside for most of the game, so the Giants will get a few big plays. But Manning will freeze, he will get sacked, and he will most likely throw 1 or 2 costly Interceptions. Offensively, the Eagles will run the ball well and support Jeff Garcia who will shine. Philadelphia 34 - Dallas 24

See you next week for analysis of the games!

Dwarf out.

mes prédictions:

ma tête:indy ; mon coeur:personne (les 2 équipes me puent au nez)

ma tête:patriots ; mon coeur:patriots (go pats!)

ma tête:Giants ; mon coeur:Philly (Garcia pourrait devenir le premier quart-arrière homosexuel de souche latine à atteindre le superbowl... de quoi festoyer à l'aide d'un trophé de la coupe du monde avec Huy!)

ma tête: Dallas ; mon coeur: Seattle (pas que j'aime Seattle, mais tous ceux qui me connaissent savent que je déteste les esties de câlisse de tabarnak de Cowboys, avec ou sans Parcells et Terrel; à noter que Romo est également de souche latine mais demeure hétérosexuel, broutant quotidiennement le castor à Jessica Simpson par les temps qui courent).

Bonne performance veillotron. Je ne peux en dire autant de ma tête (2/4), malgré que mon coeur a bien performé (3/4). Comme disait Bryan Adams: "Listen to your heart...".

Mes choix cette semaine:
saints
bears(Trent Dilfer et Jim Mcmahon ont gagné un superbowl... Grossman peut bien se rendre à un match de championnat de conférence)
indy (même si Manning peut aller se faire foutre)
pats (go pats!)
