The Playoffs

I know not too many people here are in to American football. But, after this week I'm just too giddy to talk to myself about it all day. So, who do you all think are going to the big dance?

We over here have this pipe dream of the Ravens and Jets facing off in the AFC Championship so there can be one more game hosted at Giants Stadium before it's bulldozed. At the last game there I got a little teary-eyed. This has been our 11th season going to games and to see the place demolished is like seeing a little bit of my childhood going down with it.

Still, the Jets ride here has been based mostly on luck. First, the four teams they need to lose in week 16 all lose and the Colts pull Manning in the second half. Then the Bengals have nothing to play for and pull their starters. So maybe I'm a little jaded and we're due to go down in flames against San Diego in a week. But, a man can dream. No 5th and 6th seeds have ever faced each other in the championship game since the seeding system began.

I also wish our coach would keep his mouth shut every once in a while, confidence-building or not.

As for the others, did you see the Cardinals game today? At first I was rooting for the Cards because of their loss last year, but then I kinda wanted to see the biggest comeback in postseason history. The ending sucked. I think the Vikings are going to fizzle (also, as Jets fans it's our solemn duty to root against Favre :p ) and my picks for the Bowl are Colts-Cowboys.

Though my dream scenario would be Cowboys-Jets.
