Calm down now, even the Jehovah's Witnesses could've predicted a Bears playoff loss.

It is a sad reality when the only thing that has made a person happy in weeks is the fact that he saw something and made a correct prediction about it only for said correct prediction to be minimalized and scoffed upon. I will commence to strive on in my miserable existence whilst trying to suppress this distastefulness.

And a good day to YOU, sir.

Bama is favored by 8.5

I haven’t watched a single college football game this year

That said Ohio State has played 7 games and Bama 12

That’s five bye weeks!

Just by looking at the schedule and scores I’m taking Bama to win and beat the spread

If you're not gambling you don't need to worry about the spread.

Think of it as non-alcoholic beer.

Well, that might be even worse.

I just think it’s meaningless to pick winners only unless it’s March Madness.

New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said in a statement Monday that he had turned down the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Trump because of the “tragic events of last week,” a reference to the insurrection at the Capitol.

lulzzz

Bama killed the spread.

That was the first NCAA football National Championship I didn’t watch.

Weird.

Who's got some straight up picks for Divisional Round weekend?

I've got

Packers
Ravens

Chiefs
Saints

Rams to win
Bills to cover
Chiefs to cover
Bucs to win

That’s two long shots

The only thing we agree on is the chiefs.

I wouldn't be totally surprised if the Rams won, but I don't have faith in Goff. Rams D looks good though. The Bills have suffered against the run game this year and the Ravens run game looks to be a serious strength in this matchup. As long as the game doesn't come down to a shootout, I expect the Ravens to win. Ravens don't play from behind that well because Lamar is off/on as a pure passer. Dude can make throws, but not consistently like a Mahomes/Brady/Allen can. I could see the Bucs winning - I don't have a lot of faith in their defense though. I don't like to bet against Tom Brady but the Saints have handled the Bucs twice already this season. I think that'll be a close game. I fully expect the Saints season will end in heartbreaking fashion - I just think it will be next weekend and not this weekend.
