Starting Playoff tipping score: 0*
This week's picks:
Seattle
New England < - - looking forward to this game more than any of the others.
I think it's on Sunday morning (our time) though, which will conflict with a 39 degree (C) hills ride, perhaps I can get the lads to reschedule.
Carolina - this was a tough one, toss a coin.
Not sure why I am picking the Panthers, I think perhaps SF could be emotionally spent after last week's game against Green Bay, having to travel again could prove telling and I think the Carolina D will be much more formidable than the defence that Green Bay threw up, with their 4th string linebackers and back up CBs.
SF should look to make better use of their timeouts, I see CK called one at the start of the second half because he forgot to put on his playcall armband and didn't know what audible to call. Their backup QB had to run it out to him, where's your head at CK?
San Diego (my roughie)
This is just the sort of game that the Broncos might lose. They will be strong favourites and all the pressure will be on Peyton Manning because according to everyone he is the most amazing QB in the universe blah blah blah.
It's all set up for a couple of career defining blunders sending the Chargers to their first Divisional Championship since (?)
So taking all that into consideration I suggest you all go down to your local betting shop and putting a cheeky $5er on the exact opposite of my picks.
