Round 3 Fantasy Football Picks

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! We're going to watch some football and see who's going to the Super Bowl! < /Dodge man in the Hemi commercial voice>

Here's an absofreakinglutely hilarious article for you to read regarding the weather situation for both of these games while you wait to sit down with your beer and remote. OK, so a couple of you might start doing that a tad early but don't worry, I won't tell. BTW, it's freaking cold! 34 degrees at the time of this posting. It's certainly too cold to go outside. Well besides after noon, when I can go buy some beer. LOL But anyways...

Looking at the picks below, I see that a lot of you picked the Falcons to win their game against the Eagles. Hmmmm. Domed team vs. Open Field team. Good luck to you Falcon pickers. You just might need it. But then again, the Texans killed the Bears earlier this season in Chicago. Yes the Bears had the worst defense in the league at the time but still. I'm trying to provide some hope here. Regardless of the outcome, this should be a very fun game to watch for no other reasons than watching Vick scrambling around and seeing the screw-ups made by both teams.

The Steelers/Patriots game is going to be a great game. From here, "The Patriots have won 15 of their last 17 games in temperatures of 35 or below. The Steelers are 5-2 in the same kind of weather the last three seasons." This is the game I can't wait to watch. These teams are matched up very well all the way from special teams to defenses. 'Big Ben' is a rookie but he hasn't lost a game yet. Tom Brady is, well, Tom Brady. This game will come down to the quarterbacks.

And finally, the reason why you're here. Your picks. Here they are in the order that I received them. Your game winning pick is listed first followed by your guess as to which team will score first. Good luck today everybody!

Wow. Just now on the pre-game they said that the Falcons/Eagles game is the first time 2 African American quarterbacks have faced each other in a conference championship game. Interesting.

This has been a really good game so far. I'm impressed.

And I think Chuck is MIA. Maybe he got absorbed into the chili he's making....
