The football season continues to slip away. Most of the bowl games are over and we are starting the NFL playoffs this week. It has been a season of excitement, disappointment and frustration at times but, these are three of the reasons that make it fun.
The ArmChair Coach went 7 and 3 in football picks last week. My record for the season is 149 and 51 for a percentage of .745. Let's look at this weeks picks.
COLLEGE BOWL GAMES
Cotton Bowl..... Kansas State vs Arkansas..... This looks like a pretty good match-up. The Big 12 vs the SEC. I see it as a 4th quarter game with the hogs pulling it out..... Arkansas 30 Kansas State 24
BCS National Championship Game..... LSU vs Alabama..... The Tigers shouldn't have to play Alabama again. They have already beaten them in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide didn't even win their division or their conference. They probably are the two best teams but, IT AIN'T FAIR FOR LSU TO HAVE TO BEAT THEM AGAIN!! I think it will cost them..... Alabama 17 LSU 14
NFL PLAYOFFS
Cincinnati @ Houston..... This is the first playoff game for the Texans and the place will be rocking. They are beat up and I believe it will cost them..... Cincinnati 20 Houston 17
Detroit @ New Orleans..... This is the Lions first playoff game in several years. The Saints are rolling along as one of the hottest teams in the NFL. It should be a shootout..... New Orleans 38 Detroit 30
Atlanta @ NY Giants..... This time last year the Falcons had a 1st round bye and home field throughout. They wound up losing to the Packers and the bad taste is still there. A win over the Giants will help..... Atlanta 24 NY Giants 17
Pittsburgh @ Denver..... This is probably the most interesting game of the wild card weekend. Tim Tebow's first playoff start and can he lead the Broncos past the favored but, beat up Steelers? It should be close but, I see the Steelers getting the win..... Pittsburgh 17 Denver 10
Until Next Time.
