Pretty tough to predict that both offensive juggernauts of the NFC would be eliminated before championship weekend. Instead of an epic rematch of the Saints vs. Packers we get to enjoy the Giants vs. 49ers… yay! The Packers looked pretty weak, but you have to give the Giants credit for great balance on both sides of the ball.
The volatility of the playoffs is creating a lot of stir in the pool. In addition, no one picked the 49ers or Giants in the Super Bowl (why would you have??) so we are down to the few of us that picked New England or Baltimore in the AFC at the beginning of the season. With the standings so close, the extra 10 points could make the difference in being able to purchase more Payday peanut caramel bars with your winnings. For the people in contention that did not pick Super Bowl teams… haha… that sucks.
The games are both on Sunday… make your sheet count!
