Divisonal Round/RIP basement?

In what I fear to be the last post ever made due to an apparent lack of interest (if Kyle wont fight back about the Mets, doesn't that make it officially dead?) heres a post for some picks...

PACKERS (-8) over Seahawks:
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Where has Shaun Alexander gone to? If you ask Cottich, you will get some angry looks and he will just point to the FA pool of our fantasy league. With NO run offense, a shaky pass offense, and a trip to Lambeau, things are not looking up for the Seahawks. Packers have the better run game, better pass game, better defense, home field advantage. Putting football aside, a theory needs to be looked at here that transcends all sports. If you had to put your life in the hands of 1 QB in the league today, who is it? A diehard Giants fan, im not even looking Eli’s way on this one. Favre no doubt. Maybe not the most talented, not the most mobile, but he wouldn’t let me die I just know it. This theory works in the NBA too, with my choice there being KG, no contest. LeBron is a distant second. MLB doesn’t really work too well, but I guess I would give it to Big Papi. Or maybe Jeter. Or Sheff. Much needed thought here.
Final Score:Packers 28, Seahawks 10

Jaguars (+13) over PATRIOTS:
Alright so maybe this is some wishful thinking, but that’s alright. All year long there have been some trends with these 2 teams that are going to favor the Jags. The Patriots cant run the ball (and while their run D was ranked 10th, I think it was vastly overrated) and the Jags are the best running football team in the league. Also, the Patriots are going to be without a few select players for some interesting reasons. Junior Seau has been deported back to his “native” homeland. In another strange twist, Teddy Bruschi has been seen in various casinos dealing blackjack. All of these reported casinos were Mohigan Suns. Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck are both MIA. I fear that Kyle and Mike will be looking at jail time for these occurances. Sadly, while I think the Jags will cover, the Pats move to 17-0 and face off with the Colts.
Final Score:Patriots 31, Jaguars 21

COLTS (+8.5) over Chargers:
Not
Even
Close.
Looking forward to Patriots-Colts though. Good Times.
Final Score:Colts 35, Chargers 17

Giants (+7.5) over COWBOYS:
The Giants played too well last week. The Cowboys beat them twice during the regular season while scoring a ton of points along the way. They’ve had a week off and TO is looking like he’s going to be close to full strength. Eli scares the hell out of me sometimes. Whitten will have over 100 yards. BUT. Something inside just feels right. This team, this year, just feels like its our time. I can’t explain this in football terms, but ill try. Eli has played remarkably well against the Cowboys over the last 3 years, and even notched his first career W in a comeback win against the Cowboys in the Meadowlands in late December. Jacobs and Bradshaw seem to be the Thunder & Lightning that Tiki and Danye never could be. Romo and TO not full strength and our pass rush is a good combo for the Gmen. I’m done rambling, and I’m all out of words. Lets go G-Men!!!
Final Score:Giants 31, Cowboys 28
