Conference Championships 2009/2010

Mac Daddy likes but not loves both Minnesota and the Jets to cover. Minnesota has a good chance to win and a Jets victory is not completely improbable either the way that defense is playing. As far as the most intriguing matchup I like Minnesota and the Jets given the fact that Favre played on the Jets just last year (remember that), given that winner would either have the oldest or youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl, given that I followed Mac Daddy's instructions to bet on both of them to win it all, and given that I want to Colts to pay for resting their players and might somewhat enjoy seeing Manning whine. The good thing is that there is no least intriguing matchup, Brees, Manning, Favre, and the Jets Defense would all make good story lines and make for an exciting Super Bowl.

Divisional Playoff Picks 2009-2010

ATS in the Divisional Playoffs Mac Daddy likes New Orleans, Baltimore, Dallas & NY Jets, all with moderate confidence. In addition to who goes on to the next round this weeks games will determine; if New Orleans is in a slump or just came back down to earth, if Warner is truly capable of turning it off and on as they say or if they just had a good offense week vs Green Bay, if Indy is dumb for not looking at their own history to see that they should not rest players or I am dumb for thinking they are, if Baltimore is truly a complete team, who will will the Super Bowl, Dallas or Minnesota, and how many point San Diego can put up on the leagues best defense.

This is a day late, but here were the final rankings going into this week.

Green Bay, 23.98
Baltimore, 23.95
NY Jets, 23.00
Arizona, 21.16
Philadelphia, 20.98
Cincinnati, 20.83

As you can see the worst two teams in the playoffs were eliminated yesterday and Mac Daddy's picks to go to the Super Bowl are New England and Dallas. However, the rating doesn't take into consideration the injury to Welker, so depending on how that affects NE, Indy could take their place. Today Mac Daddy likes GB and NE. The Jets are only rated 23, but their defense has been playing great resulting in a lot of hype causing the odds to win the Super Bowl to go from 50-1 to open the week to 30-1 before the start of the Cinci game. Mac Daddy meant to take it at 50-1 and still took it after it fell to 30-1. The best teams to miss the playoffs follow, all of which were considered better than Cincinnati, Philadephia, and Arizona:

Team, Rating
Atlanta, 24.86
San Francisco, 22.77
Carolina, 22.53
Pittsburgh, 22.31
Houston, 21.82
