Watching the Dallas @ Minnesota game. I hate Dallas, I really do. I hate the star on their helmets. I hate their owner who likes to be on the sidelines like he is one of the players – you’re not, you’re the owner, stay in your box – I am sure that the players and more importantly the coaches don’t want you there. I hate the QB – Romo, he’s gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). I hate their new stadium … I am happy that they will lose this game and that their season will be over. I mostly hate them because they defeated my Bills TWICE in the 90’s. That was a long time ago, but I haven’t forgotten…

Anyway, the Vikings are winning – that’s good I guess. Favre should have stayed retired the first time he retired… Not that he isn’t doing well, he is, but, once you retire, all teary eyed, just retire. Go and garden or be a colour analyst with Fox or something but stay retired.

It doesn’t really matter who wins this game though – next week, the winner is going to hit a wall, also known as the New Orleans Saints. My friend Linc will like that. The Saints will destroy whoever they play next week – I am sure of that…

So, good thing that the Cowboys (what a gay name too) are out this week. Next week, Favre will be out – will he retire again? Probably… Will he stay retired? Who knows – we’ll find out sooner or later…

On the AFC side – who cares… My team is the Bills – they’ve been out since week 5 or so… I hate Miami – they are out, good. Who’s left… New York Jets? I don’t think so – they will be defeated by San Diego shortly. Then we have Indy… So, next week it’ll likely be San Diego @ Indy – good one. Indy on top of that contest for sure.

The Pro-Bowl was moved to the week before the Super Bowl. Not a bad idea except what player who is in the Super Bowl will take a change of being injured and play? None would be my guess… The Pro Bowl always was a sissy game anyway, touch-tackle football I’d say – can’t blame them though…

So, Super Bowl will be Indy @ New Orleans (or is it New Orleans @ Indy). Should be a good one. I predict Indy 14, New Orleans 10. Maybe I will have a small Super Bowl party this year – maybe I won’t. It will be better to go somewhere for that I guess…

Anyway, those are my predictions. I’ll check back later tonight to see if I am correct on the one game that hasn’t been played yet today. Until then…

UPDATE – 21:02

Well, well, well… Somehow the New York Jets pulled off an upset that I don’t think too many football fans (other than New Yorkers perhaps) would have predicted… I didn’t think they would either, but, San Diego seems to have a special way of finding new ways to lose in the play-offs…

I am sure that this upset cost the odds-makers some money. My neighbour lost a bundle as that was the only game he didn’t win…

I’ve made my predictions for next weekend – let’s see how I do…
