Happy New Year everybody! As you know, the playoffs are finally here. Last week, the Carolina Panthers secured the NFC South thanks to a last second field goal(sniff, sniff). They snatched the #2 seed(the Giants are #1) in the NFC, and relegated the Atlanta Falcons to a 5th seed. The Vikes snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, while the Bears snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. This sent the Vikings into the playoffs as the #3 seed, and the Bears were sent home. And since the Bucs lost to Oakland, and Dallas choked like they were, well, choking, the Philadelphia Eagles fell through the back door and into the playoffs. They have the #6 seed. The unmentioned Cardinals have the #4 seed.
In the AFC, the Tennessee Titans have the #1 seed. Pittsburgh has the #2 seed. The Dolphins beat the Jets with their old weapon(Chad Pennington), while Brett Favre would have done himself a lot of good by simply not showing up. Hey, he did it during practices, why not do it when it could help your team? Anyway, the Fins captured the division and the #3 seed, leaving the Jets and the Pats in the cold. The Chargers beat the broncos on Sunday night, capturing their division and the #4 seed with an 8-8 record. The Colts took the #5 seed, and the Ravens took the #6 and final seed.
So now, onto my picks. To cap off the season, I went 12 and 4 once again, ending up with 92 overall wins. Not bad for a rookie. Hey, this is a funny story. Last week, I got my first hate mail. It was from an ex-nun from Minnesota. She was upset that I "made fun" of her Vikings. So I want everybody to know that, when I pick the Vikings to win, it's because the situation could get very, very hostile if I don't, and not necessarily because I believe they're going to win. Just so everybody knows. Ok, time to pick.
Last week: 12-4 Overall: 92-45-1
ATL:38 ARI:24
IND:23 SD:24
BAL:19 MIA:23
PHI:17 MIN:20 (This one's for you Aunt Marlene)
Alright, that wraps up my playoff picks for the Wild Card round. Hopefully it all works out. Have a happy Saturday, Sunday, and New Year.

You are about as good at playoff pick as Dallas is at winning them!!!!
What kind of dumb name is Ruel? What the heck does that even mean?!?!?!?
Loosely translated from the original Bohemian dialect, it means "Better at picking winners than Hopper"
That's it! New for the playoffs, I'm legally changing my name to Ruel.
To all who may read these comments, we know each other. It's all good.
