Playoffs! Playoffs? Playoffs

Ah, the temperature is below chill, the stadium lights are on and Wes Welker is lost for the season (damnit). We are down to the final 12!

I will continue to do picks for the playoff games as well, and, every week I will look at the team that looks the best. First up in this years playoff are the Green Bay Packers (and now I probably jinxed their playoff hopes. Sorry). The Pack have a good quarterback that can throw the long ball (if you look at some older posts, you will see that Rodgers was rated as the best QB in our fantasy league) and he has receivers who can catch them - Driver had a better season but Jennings caught fire in the last few weeks. Ryan Grant has been good for the second half and their defense is young, fast and hard-hitting. Their biggest woes is probably on special teams, most notably covering punts and kick-offs.

Still, I like the Pack this week. That makes the round 1 playoff picks look like this:

New York
@ Cincinnati
Pick: Cincinnati -2.5

Philadelphia
@ Dallas
Pick: Philadelphia +4.0

Green Bay
@ Arizona
Pick: Green Bay +1.0

Last week: 9-4-2

Season: 123-110-6
