OH LET THE SUN BEAT DOWN UPON MY FACE/ WITH STARS THAT FILL MY DREAMS / I AM A TRAVELER OF BOTH TIME AND SPACE / TO BE WHERE I HAVE BEEN / SECRET ELDERS OF A GENTLE RACE / A WORLD THAT IS SELDOM SEEN/ THEY TALK OF DAYS FOR WHICH THEY SIT AND WAIT / WHERE ALL WILL BE REVEALED (Kashmir)
#1
MY PICK: Colts 51 Chiefs 49: Adam Vinatieri hits a 49 yard field goal with one tick left on the clock to propel the Colts into a match-up with San Diego. Tony Gonzalez has four touchdown receptions in the loss.
RESULT: Dead-on. Other than the fact that Herm Edwards, quite possibly the worst NFL coach EVER, kept running into a front with nine men in the box. Huh??? Pass the damned ball!
1-0 in the second season already!
#2
MY PICK: Cowboys 26 Seahawks 20 (2 OT): Drew Bledsoe comes off the bench in the second overtime to toss a touchdown to Terry Glenn.
RESULT: http://www.tonyhomo.com Suffice to say, Drew still has the Romo Blackberry.
1-1, through absolutely no fault of my own!.
#3:
MY PICK: Patriots 24 Jets 17
RESULT: Just call me dead-eye dick. This was what the final score should have been until things got out of control.
2-1.
#4:
MY PICK: Eagles 38 Giants 17: Jeremy Shockey knocks Eli Manning out of the game on the sideline in the third quarter with a haymaker after Manning overthrows Shockey for his third interception of the game.
RESULT: Dead-eye Dick Indeed. Much closer than it should have been, which is more a tribute to Tiki Barber than anyone else on the Giants.
3-1 (should have been 4-0 if not for Sticky Fingers Homo. Leave it to the Cowboys to screw my perfect playoff record).

My Picks:
#1
Indianapolis 17 at Baltimore 27:
Ahh, pity poor little Peyton Manning: Yet another early exit from the playoffs. At least now he has time to film endless commercials instead of offering to rework his contract to defer some money so the team can get a linebacker with pulse. Nope, Peyton before team as always. Baltimore has the defense to match-up with Peyton. Fortunately for the San Diego-New England winner, Baltimore will bring Air McNair and for some deliciously maddening reason, Jamal Lewis instead of Mike Anderson, to the Championship Game, greatly enhancing the prospect of a loss against a team that can actually play defense.

Philadelphia 16 at New Orleans 37:
Bum Phillips would be proud. The Saints are Marching In. Too much Deuce, Drew, and Reggie for the Philly D to handle. Watch for when Will Smith gets jiggy with it after he makes Jeff Garcia into a pancake.
#3
Seattle 10 at Chicago 13:
I thought the Supersonics would hold off the Bulls, but on the road? No chance. Wait, this is a football game? Seahawks versus the Bears? Sure, everyone picked this as the NFC Championship Game after week 8, but no one expected Seattle to roll over and play dead like they did all season. Hmmm, two inconsistent QBs. One is bald and his sister-in-law is on the View. The other has a kingly first name and a last name fitting for his play of late. Ahh, the defense takes it. My bold prediction: Deion Break the Bank Branch has all of 2 receptions for less than 25 yards for the day: EARNING THAT BIG PAYDAY! (He is a money player, right?)
#4
New England 34 at San Diego 24:
Do you believe in MartyBall? I most certainly do not. Do I believe in Belichick and Brady and Seymour and Vrabel? Yes, yes I do. Pride takes a fall in San Diego Sunday afternoon as guts beats glory for the umpteenth time.
