If the Saints are going to surprise the sportsbook.com odds makers and bring home their first championship, the defense is going to have to put up the game of its life. No small task, considering Manning, even if he has been a little interception happy over the last couple months, is perhaps the greatest [...]
We know the teams, we know the place and we know the date. Now it’s time for my two-week, two-squad breakdown of the biggest gambling game of the year. Sure, you could wager the Saints will score more points than millions of copies of Michael Jackson’s This is It will sell on DVD, [...]
Jets at Colts: The little defense that could takes New York’s other team to the big, scary blue and white dome to face Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. Try to forget what the Jets did to the Colts a few weeks ago, since nobody in the world thought these two teams would be [...]
Minnesota at New Orleans: I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this game. Coming off a convincing victory over the hottest team in the league (formerly), the Vikings have all the reason in the world to be brimming with confidence heading into this powerhouse matchup against the Saints.

Let’s just say if the Chargers can put up 28 points or more on New York, then I’ll start believing they can win [...]
Even in the playoffs, it’s rare we’re treated to four incredible match-ups in the same weekend, but starting Jan. 16, this year will be a welcome exception.

Finally, the playoffs. I won nothing in fantasy this year but have been doing pretty well with the big money, so let’s keep that trend going into the first round. A couple rematches are on the plate right away in Dallas/Philadelphia and Jets/Cincinnati – two Saturday games I’m thoroughly looking forward to.
