2 for 4 on Divisional Weekend, but ...

... I had the pick of the week with the Giants over the Cowboys 21-20. The G-Men won 21-17 and nobody I saw/read picked New York but me. My Jags over the Patriots pick was indeed a long shot, and it didn't pay off. Only comedian Frank Caliendo picked the Chargers to beat the Colts (that I saw/read), and indeed that was an upset. Green Bay beating Seattle was a bigger blowout than I expected.

OK, now for Championship Weekend:

• AFC Championship. OK, as much as hate the fact, the Patriots are just a friggin' unbelievable team. If they go all the way -- and I can't see anyone stopping them now -- they should be ranked as the greatest team of all time. The Chargers were impressive against Indy, but they're banged up badly now. The cold of Foxboro sure ain't gonna help. LaDainian Tomlinson has a score to settle to with the Pats from a year ago, but it just ain't happenin', LD. Sorry. Pats 31, Chargers 14.

• NFC Championship. The Giants have been impressive. That's why I picked 'em to beat the Cowboys, natch. However, their ride comes to an end in the cold tundra of Lambeau Field next Sunday. Brett Favre will feast on the beat-up Giants secondary, and the Pack's defense will give Eli Manning fits that'll force him to make errors, especially picks. Packers 30-20.

Now, get ready for next season by reading about the team to beat! ;-)
