I respectfully disagree. Favre has never lost a playoff game at
Lambeau, has an *extremely* good record at Lambeau when the temperature
at the start of the game is 34F or lower, so I'm going to pick Green Bay
for that game.
(And that is going to be the most interesting game of the weekend, as
far as I'm concerned.)
I'm not going to argue on any of your other picks.
Just for the heck of it, I'll call the Superbowl now. Chances are, I'm
going to be wrong, but I'll say that it'll be Oakland over Tampa Bay.
(The last time I successfully called a Super Bowl matchup & winner
before it was down to the last 2 teams was 6 years ago, and I did it
when there were only 4 teams left. So I expect I'll be wrong, but if
I'm right, it'll be an interesting game, anyway.)
