    Wow 12-4. If only I'd been smart enough to know that the Bucs and Jets were going to disappoint me I'd have been 14-2. Is Mangini fired yet?

    Ok, playoff week time...

    Atlanta at Arizona - Atlanta
    Indianapolis at San Diego - Indianapolis
    Baltimore at Miami - Baltimore
    Philadelphia at Minnesota - Philadelphia

    Hmmm... I just picked all the road teams. Interesting.

    Ok, my wishes have come true...

    http://www.courant.com/sports/footba...,1952523.story

    Jets will fire Eric Mangini today

    The Jets announced just after 2 a.m. this morning that they would hold a 10 a.m. press conference today in which they are expected to fire head coach Eric Mangini, several league sources said.

    An initial sign that Mangini would be fired came when no time was given for Mangini's season post mortem, which is unusual. Sources have said in recent weeks Johnson, who extolled Mangini's virtues in a preseason meeting with the team's beat reporters, had become frustrated with the team's performance and, by extension, Mangini.

    Johnson, in a brief interview with reporters after yesterday's game -- the Jets' fourth loss in five games -- refused to give his coach a vote of confidence. He will be handing down his final verdict shortly.

    That's not quite clear who you're picking in the first 2 games.

    PICKS ARE LOCKED FOR THE WEEKEND!

    There are a few folks missing (PMs have been sent) and I'll keep looking for them up until kick-off. If they get in before game 2 today, I'll only penalize the one loss.

    NOTE:

    Next week's thread may not be up until Monday, so don't panic if you don't see it. I'm travelling all day tomorrow.

    Good luck all!!!!!!!!

    As mentioned:

    Saturday:

    Colts

    Sunday:

    Baltimore
    Philadelphia

    BONUS POINT (Optional)

    Net Passing Yards, Indianapolis Colts: 287

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.
