Had a good season so far - lets start the playoffs right! Going small to start since I don't like anything too much this wild card weekend...
3* Washington +2 (-110)
I think the redskins are already playing playoff smashmouth football. They have won 5 in a row, and Tampa was dismantled by the Pats 2 weeks ago by pounding Sims, something the Redskins will do. I love Bill Simmons take on this:
"I don't even remotely trust Chris Simms. Take everything shaky about a young QB during a season, then triple it during the playoffs -- the list of young QB's who didn't self-destruct in their first or second playoff game is small, to say the least. (Note: it's like finding a female celebrity under 24 who became famous and didn't immediately turn into a chain smoking, popsicle-stick-bodied lunatic.) On the flip side, someone like Mark Brunell is perfect for these situations. He'll limp around, run for a few first downs, hit a few deep throws, act like a general pest and involve the Lord in every touchdown celebration. My money's on him."
"If the Bucs pull out a win, that would send them to Chicago for a freezing cold Round 2 game, as well as the following Fox promo: "SIMMS! GROSSMAN! It's Round 2 of the NFL Playoffs on Fox!" Come on, that's not happening. Not in a million years. Take the points."
2* NE -7 (-120 Bought 1/2)
Never pick a road underdog if you are not convinced they can win outright. I am not convinced Jax can win. In fact, I do not think they can. Also, I do not like betting against Bill and Brady at home in the playoffs.
Good luck everyone!
