Wherein we learn that there is nothing more self-righteous than a man defending his errant NFL picks:
CAROLINA OVER CHICAGO
I got this one right. It’s funny though. I use pretty much the same analysis to pick all these games. How can my pick of Carolina be right and good yet my pick of Indy, Washington, and New England be bad?
Well, my first guess is because the one worked and the other three didn’t…. A 75 percent failure rate does tend to point towards a certain flaw in the analytical process.
Now I have to get on Vox a little bit here. If he or JB had actually read my article I wrote that I thought Carolina and Indy were locks but thought I was picking both Washington and New England, I wouldn’t have been surprised if both Seattle and Denver came out the winners.
Actually, the only pick that I thought was a bad one was Washington. I don’t see how anyone could have picked them after that offensive debacle in Tampa. I don’t make playoff picks because I prefer to sit back and simply take in the spectacle, but I expected New England, Indianapolis, Seattle and Carolina to win this last weekend. Now, I expect a Carolina vs Pittsburgh Super Bowl, but both championship games should be pretty good.
Anyhow, the Savant can’t seriously expect to go 1 for 8 in two years and not get ragged. That’s why they call him the BASEBALL Savant. But he can take solace in the reminder that the Sports Guy has gone 0 for Carolina’s last 11 games… let’s just say that if Simmons picks Seattle there will be celebrating in sexually ambiguous cheerleaderville.
