Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate Christmas. I am pretty sure that I am going to take a day off from posting on Christmas Day unless I feel inspired to do a running Christmas diary for the Kobe-LeBron game. We will see, no promises made. I will also start doing more NBA/NCAA College Basketball stuff starting next week.
The AFC Playoff picture is crazier than Britney Spears decision to shave her head. If Baltimore or Denver loses this week or both of them fall in defeat (might happen)... all hell will break loose in the AFC. There will be about 93 situations of things that might happen for teams to snake their way into the playoffs. In addition, some teams I want to see in the playoffs and others I do not want anywhere near the playoffs. I will let you that in this playoff post.
5. Baltimore (8-6)- at Pittsburgh, at Oakland- ODDS: 4 to 1, you might think im crazy but I really do not like the stretch run for the Ravens. People are praising them when they played two teams that gave up on the season and now have two very difficult road games.
6. Denver (8-6)- at Philadelphia, vs. Kansas City- ODDS 3 to 1, I don't know what happens if the Broncos drop a game but the game against Philly will be tough challenge (could be an awesome game). Kansas City is a rivalry game but they should win that going away.
7. Jacksonville (7-7)- at New England, at Cleveland- ODDS 5 to 1, I hate the Jags end of the year schedule despite playing a bottom-feeder in the Browns. On the road in Cleveland will not be kind to the Jaguars and the Patriot game will be a challenge.
8. Miami (7-7)- vs. Houston, vs. Pittsburgh- ODDS 3 to 1, The Dolphins can decide their own destiny playing two teams in the playoff hunt and both are home games. The Phins impressed me last week in a tough loss against Tennessee.
9. NY Jets (7-7)- at Indianapolis, vs. Cincinnati- ODDS 10-1, Hate the Jets chances worse than the Jags because the Dolphins own a tie breaker over them and you could see both teams still fighting for things (16-0 and third place).
10. Pittsburgh (7-7)- vs. Baltimore, at Miami- ODDS 8-1, I think the Steelers will be inspired after a last second win but they need a lot to happen for them to have a chance to sneak in. I still cannot trust their secondary either.
11. Tennessee (7-7)- vs. San Diego, at Seattle- ODDS 12-1, The Titans are the feel good story of the second half of the season and I would really like to see Tennessee make it into the playoffs. But it appears pulling Kerry Collins happened a little too late.
12. Houston (7-7)- at Miami, vs. New England- ODDS 15-1, If the Texans find their way into the playoffs it will be an absolute miracle. Not a chance it happens.
San Diego (11-3) at Tennessee (7-7)- The Chargers know if they win that they get the first-round bye. Also their record in December has been flawless. The Titans realize this is a do-or-die game for them and if they can find a way to win maybe they will push up in that playoff picture. This game will be close and the Chargers will pull it out late just like last week. SD 31-27
