Nfl Predictions Results

In most playoff prediction contests geting half the games right lets you advance to the next week. If that is the case then I do get to advance, but to me getting two out of four games right is not something I am proud of. There is no pattern to the mistakes, I did not get burned on two upset specials, I just picked the wrong upset.

In our first game we took Arizona to upset New Orleans Saints. This prediction may have been the result of my hoping for a Favre/Warner matchup but that did not happen. The New Orleans defense abused Warner and may have sent him well on his way to retirement. The Arizona defense is not good, in fact it is bad and Drew Brees and company beat them up.

Minnesota was the favorite in their game against Dallas but Dallas was considered to be a team on a mission. Mission ended. Minnesota destroyed Dallas. They clearly were the better team.

In the AFC Indianapolis defeated Baltimore. Indianapolis did not light up the scoreboard, they won the game comfortably, but not so much so that it seems a given they will keep advancing.

The surprise of the weekend was the New York J E T S. Rex Ryan the man who will not shut up might well have a reason to talk. The Jets with a great running game, a young quarterback in a controlled offense, and a defense which is getting better by the week are scared of no one. Perhaps they should not be.
