NFL PLAYOFFS
The NFL Playoffs start today, so I thought I'd throw my picks out on the website.

ST LOUIS (+4) over SEATTLE
I can't believe I'm going with Mike Martz in the playoffs. With all the distractions that the Seahawks have been enduring over the past week with Shaun Alexander and everything, I think St. Louis might win this one.

SAN DIEGO (-7) over NEW YORK
The Jets suck. They're just not that good of a football team and San Diego will expose them for the mediocre football team that they are.

MINNESOTA (+6) at GREEN BAY
The Packers beat the Vikings twice this year by a combined six points (34-31 both times). I think the Packers will win outright but the game will remain pretty close.

INDIANAPOLIS (-10) over DENVER
Just like New York, I don't think Denver is that good. Plus Indianapolis in the dome should be tough to stop.

Three of the teams I picked to win outright I also picked to cover. I think the Green Bay/Minnesota game will be close as will the St. Louis/Seattle game. Enjoy week one of the playoffs.
