Wild Card Weekend Selections

Since the NFL Playoffs start today, I asked Kenny to produce a text version of Mrs. Jerome's playoff predictions. Good man, that Kenny. First thing Monday morning, I'm gonna buy him a Fresca.

Kansas City at Indy 7 (4:30pm NBC)

The Chiefs have greatness in running back Larry Johnson. The Colts have lameness in their run defence. It’s dead last in the NFL. Indy really needs a run stuffer. Maybe they should use Peyton Manning’s head. I don’t mean he has a big ego. I mean that is a really, really big head. Let’s see Larry Johnson run around that thing.

Anyway, can’t stop the run, can’t cover 7. Take the Chiefs and the points.

Dallas at Seattle 3 (8pm, NBC)

These are just two bad football teams. Both teams lost three of their last 4 games. They both disgust me. So let’s use this time to give people a dynamite chip dip recipe. First. Take 16 ounces of sour cream. Mix with a package of lipton onion soup mix. Cut some real onions and fry them up with a little olive oil. Throw them in the bowl. Let it all sit in the fridge overnight and Bam! The best chip dip ever.

And take Seattle and give the 3.

NY Jets at New England 8.5 (1pm, CBS)

You know where I stand on Tom Brady. That is one handsome man. But 8 and a half points is too much. Especially since the Jets have already won in New England this year. They won by a field goal back in Week 10. Eric Mangini has been a Man-genius for the Jets this year. And he knows a lot of Bill Belichick’s tricks. Remember, he worked for the guy for the last 6 years.

So take the Jets and the 8 and a half.

NY Giants at Philly 7 (4:30pm, Fox)

Jeff Garcia will have a monster day. What are the Giants even doing here? They’re 8 and 8. They just don’t belong. They’re like Buzz at a high school dance. And I don't mean they'll score a lot. THEY DON'T BELONG, Buzz. The Eagles win this one large. Take Philly and the 7.

So that’s it. What a weekend it will be. The ladies and I will watch all four games at the club. We have some great playoff traditions too. We'll play some bridge. Some trivia. A nice quiche at halftime. Male dancers. You know. All the standards.
