I don't see the harm in adding a half point to the even spreads, I think we'd be better off with as many wins/losses as possible to determine a winner. Pretty anticlimactic to watch a playoff game and have it as a push.
Sure one more!
That has become one of my top 5 favorite football plays ever. That was awesome.
Is Pittsburgh's secondary this good, or is Kitna really that indecisive?
Well designed and executed TD, this game looks to be the best of the weekend. I'm having a hard time rooting against Cincy after the injury, but I like Roethlisberger so I'm sticking with Pitt.
Doug Brien? Never heard of him.
Palmer is done for the postseason, that's one of those ligament tears I think. I like Kitna as a QB, and Cincy is playing with some fire. Steelers need some points, quick. Have to establish the run.
Yup. Usually in making my picks I wing it, but I actually did some research before the games this time, so far it's paid off.
Boy it's nice to see the Jets in the playoffs this year. I swear that's Brooks Bollinger in a blue Manning Jersey on the meadowlands field.
Note- I don't think we want a push in these games, should we add a half point to the even spreads? If New England wins by 8 then everyone has a tie on their hands.

Gotta take the points this early, especially when you are up 7-0. ND made that mistake the other day too when it was 7-7, and getting sacked on 4th and 2.
Poor Leinart, couldn't make up the yard without Reggie Bush pushing him forward.
I like Texas here. They have a semblance of a defense, and if ND can rack up points on USC, I think Vince Young can too. Tough to ever go against Reggie, though.
Should be a fun one.
I'll get in on a football contest, I need a reason to watch the playoffs with my Jets just plain sucking. Playing for prizes or pride makes no difference for me, it'll be fun either way.
