NFL Conference Championship Picks (with point spreads) |
|
I've found spreads ranging from -8 to -4, but this seems to be the consensus in Las Vegas as of Wednesday:
Favorite / Spread / Underdog (home teams in CAPS)
INDIANAPOLIS / 7.5 / N.Y Jets NEW ORLEANS / 3.5 / Minnesota
I'll take the home teams
INDIANAPOLIS NEW ORLEANS
Please post before Sunday kick-off. Good luck everyone.

1. Same picks here, Indy and the Saints. |
|
Though I'd actually prefer to see the Jets win the AFC.

Colts will win the game but not cover the points.
When the Saints win Sunday there will be grown men crying in the stands.

27. That is who I am rooting for |

and I think the Colts will win (point spreads are not my thing) unfortuneatly
I am okay with Vikes winning -I have no idea who I think will win- but I would much prefer the Saints. N.O. is my team for this playoffs.
BTW-has any sports writer referred to the Saints Vikes game as "the River game"??? seems like an obvious title to me ...plus it brings in the gambling thing

Jets Saints
I really want the Jets to win. Don't think they will though. But they may cover the spread. I think that I've only picked against the Jets once this season - and they ended up winning that game.
J - E - T - S
Jets!
Jets!!
JETS!!!
Edited to add - can't wait for football season to be over, so I can turn my attention fully to College Hoops, and the upcoming baseball season.

I ran out of space on my paper so when I was adding the regulars you were there and I added the new ones below.
When I did the playoff standings I was writing numbers next to the person and for some reason I wrote #4 next to you and brendan120678. So I went I from 4-5 I wrote #4 brendan120678 (4-4) and then #5 BOSSHOG (4-4) so I skipped you because I wrote #4 next to you as well.
I'll try to be more careful next time, it was more difficult this time around because of the so many new players. :hi:

The mistake I made was I had #6 written next to your name and #7 next to Ishoutandscream. He(or she) was 3-1 so therefore I was going with better record and I was meaning to come back to you when I was counting down the records but I forgot about you. The reason why I wrote #6 next to you was because you played both weeks and Ishoutandscream played just one, then I figured 3>2 was better because even if Ishoutandscream lost all 4 picks it would be 3-5 so going with that poster instead of you is how I got screwed up. Also in the process I put 3-5s Jack Rabbit and Condem ahead of (3-1) scream because they played the two weeks.
Does that make sense? I'll double check next time but I got you in the overall standings. (106-125) 1-3 (107-128).

15. Jets plus the points, NO to cover the 3.5. |

I hope this week goes better than last week. I think Indy will win a close one.

Good to see they have only given the Saints the homefield spread.
I've been waiting A LOT of years to see the Vikings back in the Superbowl.

Of course, given my track record, that means it will probably wind up being Vikes Jets!

Just a clutch player. Brees looked baffled at times. Peyton never does.
