Jake Delhomme: Single-Handedly Killing Our Playoff Predictions

Just when we thought the the NFC playoff picture couldn’t become any more muddled –or the conference any more mediocre– the Jeff Garcia led Eagles go out and beat the Panthers on MNF. If the playoffs were to start today, Philly would be in at 6-6 and Carolina would be out. What the hell is that? Thanks for making us look like an idiot, Jake Delhomme.

Over in the AFC, Kansas City is making us look bad, as they let the Browns (the freakin’ Browns) beat them in overtime. It’s well known that Arrowhead Stadium is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, and the Chiefs have played well at home this year, compiling a 5-1 record. They’re only 2-4 on the road, though. Not so good, Herm. They have two road games left, in San Diego and Oakland in weeks 15 and 16. We gotta think that they’ll split those games, losing in SD and getting the W in Oakland. With Baltimore and Jacksonville at home, though, they may not have enough left in the tank to get into the playoffs. They needed a win in Cleveland.

As it stands the Jets were the only one of our wild card picks to actually get a W in week 13, as Minnesota lost in Chicago. So, you know…we’re feeling not so smart today. Our fantasy team did earn a first round bye in the playoffs, though. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.
