Saturday Division Playoffs Open Thread


The last time for Saturday football this season

Update 11pm: Curly R finished three for four, and that fourth one I am pretty sure every serious football fan in the country missed.

For those sitting around surfing the internets here are Curly R's picks for today's games FYI:

4:30 pm CBS
BAL @ TEN (-3)
Spread pick: Ravens
Straight up: Ravens

I think the 2008 Tennessee Titans are a textbook example of peaking too early. The Ravens put the hammer down.

Results: Ravens spread / Ravens straight up. It is at times difficult for me to believe that defensive core has stayed together and performed at this high a level for this long.


8:30pm FOX
ARZ @ CAR (-10)
Spread pick: Cardinals
Straight up: Panthers

The Cardinals surprised me last week by dominating the Falcons. But now they travel east where they are 0-4 this season to play a real team.

Results: Cardinals spread / Cardinals straight up. Well that was a surprise. Arizona now advances to their first conference championship since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, if the Eagles win tomorrow the Cardinals will actually be hosting the NFC Championship. That seems insane to me.


Enjoy, my kids are having a sleepover, they are tearing up my house during the early game, everyone will be sound asleep by the evening game. What are your picks?


This is a playoff gameday open thread.
