Wildcard Weekend is over, and much like a group of surviving soccer players stranded in the Andes Mountains, some teams have made it through the long, cold season, while others have given up all hope, fallen face down in the bitter-cold snow and are now being eaten by their victors.
Goodbye Indianapolis, Miami, Minnesota and Atlanta, they have all been cooked and devoured. San Diego, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Arizona have survived and will continue to climb the mountain in search of fresh blood.
The blood they search for in the Divisional Round will be Tennessee, Carolina, Pittsburgh and The Giants. Baltimore faces Tennessee, Arizona goes to Carolina, Philly will challenge The Giants and San Diego will meet up with Pitt.
There's only 7 games left in the post season and there's no telling how this crazy season will end. My guess for next week is Tennessee taking Baltimore out, Arizona beating Carolina, Philly continuing their streak by knocking The Giants out and Pittsburgh gets the edge at home against San Diego.
Speaking of predictions... throughout the past two seasons, I have been picking every game, straight-up and painstakingly tallying them all, (thank you, Excel.) Well, I'm happy to announce that my regular season percentage for 2008 was 60%. That's 153 correct picks out of 256 total games. Not half bad...
