NFL Playoff Weekend Recap
Well, I went 3-1 against the spread this week. Too bad I didn't have that type of success when I was in Las Vegas a few months ago. My winners were Minnesota (+7), Indy (-10) and St. Louis (+4). I didn't expect Minnesota to win outright, but Favre added another horrible playoff performance to his surprisingly growing repertoire of such events.

What the hell is up with Randy Moss? He's so talented but he's such a jackass. His pregame interview with Jimmy Johnson on Fox reaffirmed that. He admitted he was wrong for walking off the field before Week 17's game vs. Washington, but would not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. He also attempted several ridiculous arguments justifying his behavior, which is something people always do when they admit they're wrong. Oh wait, no they don't, which again raises suspicions about how sorry he really was. This is all before he simulating mooning the Lambeau Field crowd after catching a touchdown on Sunday. Classy. Maybe he should go run over a meter maid in downtown Minneapolis to celebrate the Vikings win sometime this week

Two games fell victim to the old adage of "if everybody is saying they're going to win, something has to be up". Nobody picked Minnesota or New York to cover, let alone win outright. And they did.

Indy destroyed Denver, which really wasn't a surprise. It'll be interesting to see how the Colts adjust to outdoor conditions next week. Hopefully I can ride this 3-1 playoff hot streak all the way to the Super Bowl.
