Well, here we are, back on our regular day.  I'm a bit hung over this morning, what with Alabama winning the national championship last night and having to listen to Mama and Grandma sing "Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer" until 3am in the morning.  I think still hear Grandma singing in her room. 

That brings down the curtain on college football for the season.  I was 21-13 on the bowl games including picking Alabama as the BCS winner (just because I don't like sleeping outside.)  and 3-2 last week, so heading into the first round of the NFL Playoffs I'm a robust 124-61.

Here's what you came here for, straight up:

NY J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets vs. Cincinnati: The Jets absolutely killed the Bengals last week, but one has to wonder if the Bengals laid down to keep the Jets off target this week.  Cincinnati is a quality team when they click on all cylinders and since this week is for a trip to the next round, me thinks the Bengals will show up.  Take Cincinnati.

Philadelphia vs. Dallas: Same as above with the Eagles taking the dive last week against Big D.  However, in this case, Dallas is hot and the hot team usually wins.  That and the spitting incident will have the Cowboys fired up.  Take Dallas

Baltimore vs. New England: The Ravens have played well, but offensively they have struggled.  The Patriots are still the Patriots, but Wes Welker getting hurt doesn't help.  Given the fact that Tom Brady is one stiff hit from being carted off the field, I'm going to stick my fool neck out and give the nod to the visitors.  Take Baltimore.

Green Bay vs. Arizona: I know, the Packers crushed the Cards last week, but Kurt Warner is 8-3 lifetime in the playoffs and Arizona has great talent on both sides of the ball.  The big problem the Cards have is several members of their offense are banged up and playing against a defense like the Packers could be an issue.  Still, I'm leaning toward Big Red.  Take Arizona.
