Though he does pick the Seahawks to beat the Skins next week:
And the Colts, also playing indoors at home, will have a much more difficult time trying to get through the AFC, specifically the Steelers and Broncos.
Yes, I said the Broncos and not the Patriots, who seem to be in uncharacteristic form emotionally. Golden Boy Tom Brady has spent way too much time (anything longer than five seconds is too long) talking about how he and his team have been "disrespected" all season. The "disrespect" theme is common among athletes always looking for imaginary opponents against whom they can rail; the media is the most convenient target, no matter how fawning the reports have been, in fact. But Brady is particularly delusional. This is a man who has been on the cover of every magazine this season except Ebony talking about being disrespected, a man who was compared favorably all season with Joe Montana, a man whose team couldn't win consecutive games in the first half of an injury-plagued season, yet was constantly called a serious threat to win again if everyone got healthy. Brady is getting to the point where he should be seen and not heard.
On the Skins:
So, while the Redskins will beat the Bucs in Tampa today and the Bears will hold off the Giants in Chicago next week, the Seahawks should be able to handle the Redskins and Bears consecutively in Seattle to reach the Super Bowl. And the Colts, also playing indoors at home, will have a much more difficult time trying to get through the AFC, specifically the Steelers and Broncos.
