  1. It's ironic that you say that on the day the playoffs start. Seemed like a regular week to me. Also, the degenerate inside me is inspiring me to bet some of these lines...

    Tennessee (+8.5) @ Kansas City

    eh, this spread is huge. KC will probably win this one in a blowout, but I'm getting this strange feeling that the Titans offense will look competent today. 

    Atlanta (+6) @ Los Angeles

    another huge spread, and I'm going with another underdog. I'm not sure why, but I don't feel like the Rams are legit. Of course, the Falcons have been a true model of inconsistency this season, so I'll bet on them having one nice showing before bombing out.

    Buffalo @ Jacksonville (-8.5)

    lol I just realized all the spreads this week are huge. Buffalo making the playoffs is a nice story, but I think the happy ends there. Jacksonville's defense is going to dominate, and Bortles won't have to throw more than 18-20 passes.

    Carolina @ New Orleans (-6.5)

    The Saints are going to cruise. I think Carolina's defense will be overmatched and Cam Newton has had some very poor stretches of play this year. I like New Orleans, to be honest. I think they could end up representing the NFC in the super bowl 

  2. These playoffs are going to be interesting. Pretty unexcited for Playoff Tom to show up (he's good for at least one head-scratcher pick per playoff game) and hopefully he's markedly better than he was to end the year. The Patriots defense is held together with spit and gum at certain positions, and the offense is going to have to really click to make it to Minnesota.

    KC isn't really a team that scares me, honestly. A lot of Alex Smith's success opening night came due to defensive confusion and blown coverages, the type of shit you figure is ironed out by week 19. I think their secondary is suspect and pass rush isn't quite good enough to keep Brady uncomfortable for 60 minutes.

  3. Honestly, you had to have a truly garbage team not to at least contend for the 6 seed in the AFC this year. I'm glad that it was put to good use 

    EDIT: Slumber, how do you feel about Case Keenum? Also, I don't think it matters if Philly wins. That's not a tough spot to play and the Eagles are probably the worst team in the playoffs for the NFC now

  4. Belichick rarely uses "starters" when it comes to his defensive line rotations. It's all about situation, hot hand, etc. when deciding which specific player to deploy in the defensive front. 

    I anticipate Harrison will get pass-rushing snaps on obvious passing downs. If he has any amount of success in that role, every New England fan will be ecstatic. And if he can't contribute? Goodbye. He's a low-risk flier at the team's weakest position. I do like the signing a lot

    There was an effigy of Vontaze Burfict hanging in Pittsburgh that was in a noose, hanging from an electrical line. How much clearer can I be?

    I didn't know what effigy meant but I am now capable of using context clues.

    It would be pretty spectacular if the Steelers somehow lost tonight. Patriots could really use 2 bye weeks heading into the divisional round
