put me down for 7-1 (1. 4-0 + 2.3-1).

hmmm, lotsa support for the underdogs from this gang. I'm really out on the limb with vikes/broncos. not a good time for that seeing as how all the ice-covered limbs in MD are breaking off and falling.

where's starpopper when i need him?? he must remember what the previous all-time season scoring champ did in its playoff run, including a SB destruction of an Elway team that had the AFC's #1 ranked defense (something like 55-10).

B - My picks were posted on the 14th. Here they are. If they have to be narrowed down to 2 picks, then the first two - Falcons and Jets, taking points. The other over/under picks are for bonus points or just bragging rights.

Bubba's picks:

Take the points and both dawgs

NY Jets +10.5 (Last one with the ball will have chance to win the game. I am really looking forward to this game. Maybe greatest AFC championship game ever. Jets is better than 50-50 of winning it outright).

Atl Falcons +12.5 (Falcons should keep up within 10)

Jets/Broncos Over 52.5 (Too much offensive fire power and good special teams. Broncs D is suspect, so is the Jets. Both capable of letting up and give up the big plays).

Atl/Vikes Under 55.5 (Atl needs to run and kill time for any chance of winning. Reeves will keep game close, or total blowout by Minn. Atl has decent enough D to keep it close).

Atl/Vikes Total FieldGoals OVER 3.5 (Both have good D's and keep scoring down by allowing fg's, not td's)

Atl/Vikes Total Rush OVER 214.5
