WIN OR GO HOME....

Alright, I'm back and better than before. School haad kicked my tail for a minute but I won in the end. Can you say 4.0?? Can I get a 'whoop,whoop?' But on Sunday marks the genesis of the year 2012 and the end of the 2011 NFL regular season. This day has such dicotmy with the beginning of a new year and yet the end of the regular season and some teams season. In the NFC, we have the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys playing the last playoff spot at 8:15 p.m. In the AFC, we have about 5 teams competing for 2 spots. Denver and Oakland for playing for the division. While, get this, Tennesse, Cincinnati, New York Jets, AND Oakland are competing the last wild card spot. So I'm gonna try to predict who will play in the playoffs and the who will watch the playoffs. Pray for me.... AFC WEST DIVISION WINNER: The AFC West Divion Winner will be... the Oakland Raiders!!! And here's why: The Oakland Raiders will be playing the San Diego Chargers and I feel that they will have more match up advantages against them instead of the Denver Broncos playing the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City. The speedy receivers of Oakland will be able to fly by the secondary of San Diego who got exposed against Detroit on Christmas Eve. I really see Denver struggling against the Romeo Crennel-led defense against Denver's offense. In the the 3 losses Denver had, all the concerns people had about Tim Tebow coming from Florida are greatly visible: the suspect footwork, the inablity to read different coverages, and the enlongated release. Denver has had turnover marigin of -10 in their three losses with Tim Tebow as the starter. And ever since Todd Haley was fired, this team has been playing truly inspired ball with Romeo Crennel at the helm. I really like Kansas City playing spoiler to Denver's playoff hopes with Kyle Orton throwing touchdowns and the Kansas City D being ridiculously opprtunistic. AFC WILD CARD WINNER: The AFC Wild Card Winner is... the Cincinnati Bengals!!!! The Bengals are in complete control of theor playoff destiny. It's not the Jets because they need to win and NEED a Cincinati plus a Miami loss AND a Oakland or Denver loss. The Jets need too many things to happen to their playoff dreams to manifest. Because first of all, I don't see Oakland or Tennessee losing, so that just crushed it right then and there. If Cincy wins, they're in. How simple can it be??? NFC EAST DIVISION WINNER: The NFC East Divion Winner is... The New York Giants!!! And this is why: Tony Romo's throwing hand is swole. And even if the trainers of the Dallas Cowboys get the swelling down, he still has the to grip that ball to throw it and we are uncertain of the security of his grasp on the football. Plus, we must add in the fact that rhis game is played at night outdoors in under 40 degree weather. But there is also the inconsistencies of the secondary of Dallas because they don't have a corner like a Darelle Revis to shut down a side of the football field to make a quarterback go to his next option. So, I believe that this will be a game like truly caters to the strength of the Giants: their pass rush and their passing game. Well, I'm through for now. I gotta go get my laundry out of the washer and dryer...
