This one from Wacko....
Bungles may have looked like the pretenders of the playoffs, but take a look at where everybody got their victories, and you see that the Cellar provides a lot of Ws out there, and this is one reason it makes it so hard to gauge what a team is really going to do in the playoffs.
Bungle wins for the year
Packers
STeelers
Brownies
Brownies
Ravens
CareBears
Ravens
Steelers
Kittens
Cheaps
and they LOST to the Raiders.
That's getting into the playoffs the EASY WAY.
Five of their ten wins were against Cellar, or cellar worthy, teams. The Steelers were horrific for 6 straight weeks, too. So, that's 7 games against toast.
CARDINALS - 6 they got to beat up on the Lambs AND Sehags 4 times, plus the Kittens and CareBears. That does not equal Bungles.
VIKINGS- 6 Kittens, Kittens, CareBears (lost one), SeaHags, Brownies (early).
RAVENS- 6 Cheaps, Brownies (2), Kittens, Raydurz, CareBears- plus the Steelers
They also beat the Chargers and narrowly lost to Vikes and Colts.
CHARGERS- 7 Raydurz (2), Cheaps (2) Brownies, Deadskins, and the Floppers back when they were in the Cellar (week 3). They also buried the Titanics, but that was late in the season.
SAINTS- 6 Boots (2), Kittens, Nils, Deadskins, Lambs, plus Floppers (early), Pansies (early) so, that's kind of like, EIGHT.
COLTS- 6 Titanics (2 early and late), Floppers (early), Seahags, Lambs.
COWBOYS- 7 Boots, Deadksins (2), Raydurz, Hags, Cheaps, Pansies (early)
THIS WEEKS PREDICTIONS
Cowboys 27
Vikings 24
Indianapolis 18
Ravens 10
Chargers 479
Jets 3
OH, OK Jets have good Defense and Chargers aren't that good. 332-20.
Saints 48
Cardinals 24
I will be rooting for the VIKES, finally. But they'll still lose. Unless Favre's been getting some good medicine.
Pretty good predictions.
ReplyDeleteHere are mine:
Cowboys 24
Vikings 21
Indianapolis 18
Ravens 10
Chargers 17
Jets 10
Jets have monster defense, but too young on offense to beat Bolts.
Saints 28
Cardinals 38
(I hope I am wrong as I want the Saints, but they stumbled into the playoffs and have definite "Cellar Taint."
I have to change my Saints prediction, based on my Cellar Taint analysis. But I am going to go with 1 underdog, and in my book they're an underdog. So, Saints win in my prediction, but in my analysis, they LOSE. Hey, I can't lose!
ReplyDeleteWE both did 18 points for the Colts. How do you get 18 points? That's what they got against the 49ers. It stuck in my head. 6 field goals? 2 touchdowns and 2 safeties! a TD, a 2 pt conversion another TD with ext. pt and a field goal?
Ah, it was 5 FG and a TD with no ext pt (missed).
I pulled 18 out of the ether. I figure 9 safeties. Seriously, though, TD, FG, TD with 2 point conversion.
