NFL Predictions, revised

My second grade math got the better of me again... the Bengals/Jets game was actually the 4-5 matchup, meaning that the Bengals would have gone to Indy and the Pats to San Diego in my scenario. I still would have picked the Chargers and Colts, but, as the wife said to me, "c'mon, do your research." I actually did, believe it or not, but I guess I either did it with my contacts out/glasses off, drunk, or both. Now that Cincy just got finished beating themselves, and the Jets showed out to beat the "rookie QB" KISS Principle (just don't throw it that often), let's play out the second round of the AFC again with the Jets in there, now that I have shown the true extent of my sports knowledge. Oh, and your welcome to anyone who took my advice and bet against my picks. You are all now 1-0, with Iggle fans hoping I'm about to go 2-0.

AFC Divisional Round

Jets v. Colts - I'm sticking with the originial Jets KISS Principle here, just cause there is no way they get out ahead of the Colts enough to run it forever. Besides, KISS Principle in major effect here... you about to go against the only 4 time NFL MVP at home in the playoffs? Especially when his name is Peyton Manning? Yeah, right. That Jets D is impressive, though, so let's give them a little credit here. Prediction - Colts 24, Jets 13.

Pats v. Chargers - The Pats actually tend to play the Chargers pretty well, but like I alluded to in the previous post, the Chargers may actually be the best team in football, and that Ravens/Pats game is gonna be a dog fight. I think the Pats are too banged up after that to beat anyone. I might even be tempted to take the Jets to beat the Pats in the second round if that hypothetical game were in New York. KISS Principle - healthy team, hot team, maybe the best team, playing at home against banged up team that has to travel about as far as any team can to play a game. Prediction - Chargers 30, Pats 20.

Thank you to all of you who already commented on this post via email and never said anything about me messing that up. Either that or you trust me blindly, which my wife would tell you is about the worst idea in the world. Regardless, thanks for the comments and keep them coming. Off to watch Eagles/Cowboys, have a good night, everyone, and talk next week.
