Catch of the Day.
HOOK:
“Watch.”
If I had the time, I would go through the last ten years of NFL playoffs and break down all of the past divisional rounds and who won. I don’t have that time in life. Therefore, let’s just trust my memory and my breakdown of the CURRENT divisional round. This weekend COULD be fantastic and one of the best in recent memory. Usually, you have overachieving Wildcard teams going to a favorite’s crib, and everyone was already eyeing up who they wanted in the Conference championship. Not this weekend.
Ravens at Patriots: Its the Pats, and they are in Foxboro, so it might seem obvious. They probably will win. WHY WATCH: The Ravens have done pretty well in Foxboro, Flacco is turning out to be some combination of Claude Lemieux and Eli Manning, Steve Smith probably will give the pregame speech, and the Ravens definitely don’t feel the pressure.
Cowboys at Packers: They are playing at Lambeau, they are playing at Lambeau, and they are playing at Lambeau. WHY WATCH: Aaron Rodgers is predicted to be between 40-90% with a torn calf muscle, Aaron Rodgers is predicted to be between 40-90% with a torn calf muscle, and Aaron Rodgers is predicted to be between 40-90% with a torn calf muscle. Also, the Cowboys are one of the hottest teams in the league, Tony Romo didn’t choke away December, and their skill positions are all near the best in the NFL.
Panthers at Seahawks: A losing record division team is NOT going to win IN Seattle, where they lose like once every 50 games it seems. WHY WATCH: Simple. We KNOW who the better team is, but Cam Newton and company are presently NOT playing like a losing record team, and they DO have the weapons to give a team fits. If Cam does something special, they could put a scare in Seattle.
Colts at Broncos: It is in Denver, the Colts have no defense for playoff football, and the Broncos now have a running game AND defense. The Broncos are rested too. WHY WATCH: Mr.Luck’s voice is loud enough to overcome the Broncos fans, Luck and the Colts are tops in the league in big plays, and Peyton hasn’t exactly looked like Peyton the second half of the season.
LINE:
“Three.”
SINKER:
“Phone.”
The Cards didn’t even CALL Kurt Warner, who now says he would have considered it??? Did anyone WATCH that horrific offense near the end of the year?
SINKER #2:
The Hawks had “Swipe Right Night” this week. Tinder. Here is an entertaining article for you.
Bonus tonight. I watched the Michigan State-Iowa game, and guess what? The UCLA game was after that game and on now…and I get, once again, BILL WALTON. YES.
