NFL picks: Thanks for nothing
The drama, or lack thereof, in our little competition here is appropriate considering the drama we'll likely witness in the NFC and AFC championship games Sunday. Way to go Colts and Cowboys; thanks for ruining what was supposed to be a couple of climactic showdowns. Of course, I should also thank Lingo and myself, the Colts and Cowboys equivalents of our playoffs. But the beauty of this thing we call sport dictates that none of us are out of it yet, not even the Giants.
Last week
Clay: 4-6
Overton: 3-7
Lingo: 0-10
Playoff standings
Overton: 17-9 (65%)
Clay: 4-16 (20%)
Lingo: 4-17 (19%)
We'll continue to use a point system to weight the picks. Since we don't have four games this weekend we'll drop the one- and two-point picks (also because we're clinging to hope for some drama) and keep the three- and four-pointers.
Here are this week's picks with the home teams in caps.
