But for the championship I'm going Clemson.

I feel like this is an attempt at slingshotting past me on the last lap at Daytona. But alright, alright, game on.

Was at the Mexican restaurant watching the Bills-Texans game over a plate of Burrito al Carbon (good shit btw, try it sometime) and some Modelos. I was feeling confident until halfway into the 3rd when Houston finally got on the board with a TD. I saw it coming. The brakes came off the train and they weren't gonna stop them after that. Oh well.

I dunno who they'll play next weekend, but I doubt I'll be able to pick Houston then either. Their running game came alive in that 2nd half, but that's kinda how they've been all season. They haven't played a game where they've dominated someone decent for all 4 quarters.

  Jeez. That INT right at the end there. I knew it meant I lost my 4 pt pick, but I still lol'd.

 I suppose no ones more surprised than adren though. Putting only 1 on it, and after New England had such a good season compared to everyone else, I guess that was your "fuck you Tom Brady" pick. The debate this week was who to call as my 4 and 3. New Orleans and New England were both so good, but I figured Brady vs Tannehill and Tennessee was the safer bet. I guess not if its pissing rain. Bradys accuracy was off pretty bad.

He's a fuckin prettyboy puke and a dick, but I hope he doesn't retire. He does NOT look like a 43 year old quarterback. He's still clearly on top of his game, otherwise he wouldn't have a 12 win season this year like he did. Hopefully he'll play for at least another 2 or 3 years.

Was more of a titans played the saints tough in a game that was meaningless for their playoff hope with the addition of the dolphins beating the pats in week 17

 Also fuck the Patriots   

[haunted]

At least they're out.

I just noticed that Atlanta hosts back to back football games in weeks 1 and 2 in 2020. Georgia vs Virginia is no surprise being there, but September 12 NC and Auburn play there as well.

Didn't know that. Cool. My bro-in-law is a Virginia grad. Maybe I'll get us some seats for that one. If Virginia is as good then as they were this year, it might actually be a semi-interesting game rather than a mauling.

dolphins beating the pats in week 17

True, but I figured that was attributable more to the Patriots playing lazy knowing they were already in.

ALL of us picked the Saints to advance. They had done so fucking well all year, I thought surely this was their year again. This means basically NOTHING is predictable now. Might as well toss a coin or just close your eyes while spinning and point to one or the other.
