Ok… So I’m waffling on NFL Final Four Picks
As previously written on this here blog… I was picking the road teams to win this weekend in the NFL.
Upon further review (as the referees like to say), I think I’m wrong.
With uncertainties about the health of receiver Percy Harvin and the sudden disappearance of Adrian Peterson, I’m thinking I put too much faith in the Vikings. I was hopeful for a 40-year-old dream of story for Brett Farve. I saw their defense unload on Tony Romo. BUT… doing it in the fervor of the Superdome will be a massive challenge, with the Saints hungry to play in their first ever Super Bowl.
Gimme the Saints 42-31.
Then… there’s the Jets. These guys LOVE to keep it humble, huh? Not really, and the quiet, confident, capable Colts are honing in on a 2nd Super Bowl in a couple of years. And oh yah, they have Peyton Manning. But the guy i’d be most concerned about is Dwight Freeney rushing off the edge—-yes, the Jets have an outstanding offensive line, but with a rookie QB in a load environment like that, I’d be stunned if he handles it well.
Colts 34-17.
