+++ NFL Playoffs: Conference Picks +++
Three games, two weekends left...

Spread for the Superbowl will be posted Thursday morning, February 3rd. If that creates a problem for anyone go to http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_point_spreads.shtml and PM me your pick before then -- I'll be sure to post it for you. As a reminder, anyone on D.U. is welcomed to participate but only those who were here from the beginning of the wildcard games will count in the totals. Be sure to post your picks before the first kickoff on Sunday.


Favorite / Spread / Underdog (Home team in CAPS)

Green Bay / 3.5 / CHICAGO

PITTSBURGH / 3.5 / NY Jets

----------------------------------------------

Good luck. For my picks, I'm going with...

Green Bay to cover
NY Jets to upset

12. Ok.
The Ravens fucked me last week with their choke job. Should have been 3-1. But again, things are what they are.

I'm taking the home dog in Chicago.

And the road dog for the outright win. Jets.

17. Weather forecast:
Pittsburgh's game-day forecast -- high of 19, low of 9 -- and Chicago's game-day forecast -- high of 23, low of 18 with a chance of snow.

Real football in real weather!

18. Packers and Jets
Pity party in Pittspuke this year. Packers are feelin' like last year's Saints. Braylon Edwards will drop an easy go ahead pass in the end zone with no time remaining in the SB.

25. AND THE WINNERS ARE...

Forkboy, Liberal_Dog & chollybocker


who were perfect at 2-0.

:applause::applause::applause:

AND we have a new leader -- I'll leave the honor to JonLP24 to tell you who it is.

Pretty amazing -- out of 18 players only three of us could choose two of the games correctly.

Super Bowl spread will be posted on Thursday morning, February 3rd. If that presents a problem for you PM me your pick and I will post it for you (Green Bay is an early favorite at -2.5, but that could change — you can check point spreads here: http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_point_spreads.shtml).

There will be a tie-breaking device of some kind. See you in 10 days.
