Belated Wild Card Picks Post

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

Team, Rating
New England, 26.77
Dallas, 26.62
Indianapolis, 24.65
New Orleans, 24.37
Minnesota, 24.27
San Diego, 24.18
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
