I think Dallas and Chicago will disappoint and put up stinkers!

So...

Houston
Seattle
L.A.
Philly

(But I won't be crushed if I'm wrong!)

I know a few fans who were picking the Cowboys but no one who had the Colts.

As I mentioned, I'm not disappointed that some of my picks are turning out wrong. I'd be happy to see the Bears advance. They're sure as hell not winning the Super Bowl but a playoff victory would be nice.

One-point losses are the hardest to swallow. Sheesh!
