Pilfo's Wildcard Parlay
January 15th 2010 - Pilfo             

Can I see a count of people out there that are rooting for the Ravens to knock out the Colts because the Colts had a blatent disregard for attempting a perfect season? Wow, that looks like a lot. While I am still disgusted at what the Colts did a few weeks ago against the Jets, I also believe they would have fallen short of a perfect season since they have been playing less than perfect football all year. I believe it was 7 fourth quarter comebacks this year to win games one of which was against the Ravens and let's not forget about the game the Pats handed back to Indy at home. The fact is that Indy is a very good team but not a powerful team. I believe the Ravens are playing great defense and running the ball at will against teams. Look for the Ravens to control the tempo of this game by taking an early lead while the Colts get the rust out during the first 15-20 minutes of the game. That will teach the Colts for moving out of Baltimore in the middle of the night.
Prediction: Ravens 24- 20

The Vikings are the most balanced and consistent team in the league both on offense and defense. The Vikings will throw everything they have, which is a lot, at the Cowboys and I believe this time Romo will be playing from behind. Don't let that 1 post-season win get you on the Cowboy bandwagon. The Vikings are the more talented team.
Prediction: Vikings 41- 24

I just don't see Rex smiling in the post-game interview this time. The Chargers are the class of the AFC and after the Chargers take a lead in this game the Jets will have to pass the ball which they don't do well against the good teams. The Chargers have too much fire-power for the Jets Revis to cover.
Prediction: Chargers 34-17

3 Team Parlay:  Ravens +6.5 / Vikings -3 / Chargers -7
