Vinnie's Pick$ and Pa$$es - Playoffs Jan 14, 2005 | More

I’m a poor man, got creamed last week.  Didn’t write an article, so I didn’t embarrass myself, but still, Green Bay getting smoked at home by the Vikings?  Come on.  That game killed me.

OK, On to better stuff this week  Only a couple games to choose from, and nothing really jumps out at me.  So, just a couple of two star games.

Colts +2.5 @ Patriots: The Patriots have had a couple weeks to prepare for Peyton, and he doesn’t seem to do well in Foxboro.  Is this his chance?  Pats are hurting at CB, and Peyton is the strength of the team.  However, this year, it will be no different.  Corey Dillon is pumped about being in the playoffs, and Bill Belichek will find a way to shut down Manning (again).  Lay the small number here on the World Champions.  Pats –2.5 **

Rams +7 @ Falcons: Falcons are a very good team, and the Rams are a poorly coached team.  Falcons have had extra time to prepare.  Take Vick in the playoff game as it’s more fun to root for the mobile QB too.  Falcons –7 **

So, that’s it for this week, hopefully, there will be a better play next week.  I’m off to Vegas to watch the games this week (And hopefully win even more this year).  World of Conrete Convention in Vegas next week, and I’m a big user of concrete.  You know, concrete sinks when you drop it in the water attached to somebody’s leg…  I tested that on a guy who didn’t pay up a couple months ago, and you know, Concrete doesn’t float.  Amazing, but I digress…

Let’s get back on track.

Pats –2.5**
Falcons –7**
