NFL Playoff Picks, Part Three

Peyton Manning takes a day off from filming commercials to mow 
down the pistolpackin' Bears.  Despite the score, the game is never

NFL Playoff Picks, Part Two

Chicago (+7) over New Orleans [49]
The ghost of Mike Ditka looms large over this battle of deep-fry lovin' cities.  In the end, the ghost of Dave Wannstedt outduels the ghost of Jim Mora for undead supremacy.  Spooky, man.  Don't forget your garlic necklace and silver bullet.

New England (+3) over Indianapolis [52]
Will the addition of David Beckham help Indy overcome their choketastic playoff run?  No, because New England has a not-so-secret weapon by the name of PELE.  The Pats win in overtime on a record 105-yard field goal kick by the new guy.

NFL Playoff Picks

Indianapolis (-10) over Baltimore [43]
Take the points, my friend.  Even your 9 year-old niece knows Peyton Manning.  Of course, I think both teams are nicknamed 'Colts'.

New Orleans (+2) over Philadelphia [39]
The feel-good story continues as America likes nothing more than to see a bunch of battery-throwing, cheesesteak-eating jerks go down.  And, The Saints will use their divine powers.

Chicago (+6) over Seattle [23]
A seahawk?  Beating a bear?  Don't spit out your frappilatte.

San Diego (+980) over vistor [1002]

I can't recall who their opponent is, but it's irrelevant as The Chargers will score a record 900 points -- 800 in the first half.
