Who you got this weekend?  My picks:

Atlanta:  think they have too much offense for Seattle since they are at home 

New England:  no rational person could pick Houston   

Green Bay:  think Aaron Rodgers figures out a way to win.  Wouldn't shock me if Dallas won though  

KC:  my heart picking but think they will play well at arrowhead

Being a Packer fan, the toughest thing I did this week, was put Dallas in my 4 team parlay bet. With Nelson out or at the very least playing hurt, vs Dallas's running game, the Boys have to much of an advantage.

 I also have NE, Seattle, and KC. 

I have a few smaller bets going too. I figure that overall, if I break even for the weekend, I will have still won.

  • iacas changed the title to 2017 NFL Playoffs

Let me think.  We moved to Atlanta from Detroit and the family is originally from Cleveland.  On the plus side; birds have fared better than either cats, or earth-tones, in the television era.  Cautious optimism is the order of the day.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Microsoft Cortana has made its picks for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs

As always, Cortana picks only the outright winner of each game. It does not make picks against the spread, though we like to include the point spread (in parentheses, courtesy of Vegas Insider) for comparison.

Without further ado, here are Cortana's picks:

Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons (-5) — Falcons 73% chance to win 

Houston Texans at New England Patriots (-16) — Patriots 83% chance to win 

Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) — Chiefs 63% chance to win 

Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys (-4.5) — Cowboys 51% chance to win 

My thoughts:
Seattle is a Proven Playoff team, Wilson has the ability to turn it up a notch.
Falcons on the other hand has a poor track record in playoff, even at home.

On any given day and it would take a miracle for Huston to win.
But, any early injury or massive pressure on Brady, could deter the outcome.

Pitt & Chiefs will be a great game.
I'm rooting for KC, but it's a toss up.
Big Ben has been there and done that and I never bet against him.

Dallas has had a remarkable season and my pick for SB Champs this year.
It will also be a great game, but "Double Check" will come up short this year
with the game possibly going to the wire.

@Wanzo - how awful will the weather in KC be tomorrow night? i know it'll be cold, but are we talking wind and rain/snow too?

Freezing rain in the morning but supposed to warm up enough to just make it rain in afternoon and evening. And chance if rain goes down in afternoon. Looks like they made the right call to move it back so people should be able to get there fine now. But tickets are going much cheaper than normal on StubHub given the weather.

As a Bengals fan, it's almost a relief not to have them in and face another early exit. Kind of like being a Bills fan in the early 90s when they lost four straight Super Bowls.

I'm hoping for better games this weekend than what we saw last weekend. So far the ATL/SEA game is pretty solid, I have the Falcons winning at home. As someone said earlier, no one in their right mind would pick Houston tonight. Tomorrow, I think GB has a pretty good chance. I like Dak and Zeke for Dallas, but Rogers is on a roll and we've seen teams in recent years get hot in the playoffs and make an improbable run. Tomorrow night is a tossup in KC. I like KC at home but the Steelers have this annoying habit of winning on the road in the post season, like they did here in Cincinnati.

They'll need that notch for the 2nd half.

I'm surprised that Green Bay won.  Rodgers has been magical.     Pittsburgh wasn't a surprise although KC gave them a great game and everyone expected New England to win.

I believe we could see a Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh Superbowl.

Niners fan so I'm pleased the Seahawks and Cowboys are out. Shame the Pats are in the AFCCG though (again!!!).

Rodgers talent is ridiculous but I think GB secondary is going to get torched by Ryan/Jones. Could be a VERY high scoring NFC Champ Game.

I'm not.  The Cowboys aren't as good as their record.  Honestly, I was more worried about NY, than I was about Dallas.

Pack/Steelers would be great, but they both have tough teams to beat next week!

    • Day 159: did a stack session.  
    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
