Between the NFL playoffs and the college football final four, I've picked winners in all but two games.
I missed on the Colts beating the Broncos, and I picked Alabama over Ohio State.
I'm not picking against the line, because that's fundamentally crazy. You're going to pick a team to cover a point spread that means nothing to that team? In other words, the team might blow it by taking a meaningless safety or pulling its starters late in the game? Not for me.
My picks for the title game weekend are admittedly boring. I'm taking New England and Seattle.
I would consider taking Green Bay if Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy were 100 percent healthy, but they're not. I don't like an immobile quarterback, even the great Rodgers, at Seattle.
I think the Patriots could win by even more than the Seahawks. The Colts won last week because Peyton Manning couldn't get the ball down the field. That won't be a problem with Tom Brady. I think Brady will have a big game and then lose another Super Bowl. I think the Seahawks will be the rare team to repeat.
Think about that: Seattle will win it one year in part because they had Percy Harvin on the field, and may win another in part because they got rid of him.
