I got the same playoff #s as Dylan so far.<br>grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709531.post-62618188727427033402006-01-09T07:55:20.000-04:002006-01-09T07:55:20.000-04:00Great weekend of football.

There were two games I thought were absolute locks NE and Carolina to win big. I've liked Jax since they drafted Leftwich but just didn't believe they could overcome Leftwich's and Taylor's injuries on the road against the defending Champs. Carolina was my pre season Superbowl pick for the NFC and I knew John Fox would have them firing on all cylinders against a NY team with a decimated LB corps.<br>My question marks were Wash and Cincy but in the end I stuck with both picks because I thought that Washington would force Simms to make mistakes and the defence would carry the game. I figured this was Cincy's year to step over an uneven Pittsburgh team with homefield advantage providing enough help to the defence. And I still think if Carson Palmer had not been injured on the second play that Cincy would have indeed won this game but the second Palmer went down so did any chance the Bengals had. They fought so hard in the first half and a glimmer of hope existed but then in the second half the loss of Palmer was obvious and the Steelers ran over them. Palmer's injury cost me a perfect first round of the playoffs, $145 pro line ticket, and $10 bucks I wagered a friend. But on the plus side this makes possible the INDY vs NE AFC championship game.<br>dylannoreply@blogger.com
