Ok as we move to the 1st round of my playoffs that are similar the way the NFL formats them with a Wild Card week, Divisional week, Conference Championship and then the Final Toilet Bowl Championship. No remember the way you advance is to be the worse of the two teams playing off. The 4 teams that by record that are flat out awful and get the bye week are Cleveland Browns (1-10), Kansas City Chiefs (3-8), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-10), and the St. Louis Rams (1-10). That leaves for the Wild Card week 4 match-ups Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5) and Buffalo Bills (4-7), (Please remember we started this in week 9 so I am not taking into account until the match-ups what the teams have done in the past few weeks.) the Oakland Raiders (3-8) and Tennessee Titans (5-6), Carolina Panthers (4-7) and Detroit Lions (2-9), and the Washington Redskins (3-8) and the Seattle Seahawks(4-7).
Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5) and Buffalo Bills (4-7) - Flat out the Jags are playing up to their potential, having the sheer luck now in their schedule to play: Rams, Chiefs, Jets, and Bills. They have now move into 2nd in their division behind the undefeated Colts and into Wild Card Contention. This match-up would be a rematch from November 22. I flat out think though that the Jags are a much better football team than the Bills. The Bills have now fired their head coach and have too many key injures on both sides of the ball to compete with them. And then you forget the biggest cancer in T.O. Even though the past 2 weeks has had good games he is always the cancer lurking ready to throw someone under the bus.
Oakland Raiders (3-8) and Tennessee Titans (5-6) - With Vince Young finally inserted into quarterback this team is rolling. They have continued to just win. They have now one 5 straight. While the Raiders who seem to be a team finally trying now that they have benched Russell. The Titans will be too much and ultimately give the Raiders the loss. I wonder if Al Davis is finally thinking about why he even drafted Russell who cant lead his own team and his own team even wanted him benched. The Titans owner on the other hand looks like a genius to force the head coach to play Young who has now won 5 straight and led them to victory this past week in a 99 drive that had them complete 4th down after 4th down to beat the Arizona Cardinals.
Carolina Panthers (4-7) and Detroit Lions (2-9) - The Lions are the Lions with only victories against the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Browns, both games at home for them. The panthers are horrendous as well with Delhomme now throwing 18 interceptions this year. Hit passes just look sometimes like punts giving the opposing team the interceptions gift wrapped. But I believe that Panthers do end up beating the Lions. They have more quality wins against Atlanta and Arizona. And I believe with the Lions defense that can’t stop anyone they will get the victory.
Washington Redskins (3-8) and the Seattle Seahawks (4-7)- Two of Seattle’s 4 wins were against the Rams which shouldn’t even count. They also have against the Jags and Lions. As much as I can’t stand the Redskins I think that Seattle is a worse team. The Redskins have finally started to play like a team. Well their defense anyway. Their defense will show up and beat the Seahawks who really do not have much going for them except their 12th man, the fans always supporting this dismal team. Even though the Redskins have a worse record they at least have been competitive in recent weeks having their defense play good football., to keep their offense in it. Now if they can just get their offense on the same page.Stay tuned later on for Part 4 in this series!
