Playoffs


The NFL playoffs are well under way, and have been exciting as ever so far. All that's left is the Conference Championship games and then the super bowl. It has been chalk in the NFC with the #1 seeded New Orleans Saints verse the #2 seeded Minnesota Vikings. Both teams had a bye in the wild card round and blew out their opponent in the divisional round. I like the Vikings tenacious pass rush, over powering running game along with Brett Favres passing abilities to defeat the Saints in a close game. In the AFC it has been a little more shaky. The first significant upset was made when the Baltimore Ravens beat the New England Patriots, to eventually get slaughtered by the #1 seeded Indianapolis Colts. The best underdog story in the Playoffs this season is #5 seeded the New York Jets barely pulling off the upset on the #2 seeded San Diego Chargers. Now the Jets have the odds stacked against them once again in the AFC Championship game against the Colts. Everyone should tune in next weekend to see how things play out.
