Mike B. discovers the love that dares not speak its name...
Since it's playoff time, the new lines may already be out, though the cowards at bodog no doubt will wait for the lines to stop moving before they post anything. In any case, I will now try to pick the new lines.
INDIANAPOLIS(-7)baltimore This could be closer to 4.5 or 5, given the Ravens' performance today, and how close their game was earlier in the year, but Indy is definitely a public team, so I'll guess high. I think next week is the best chance to bump off the Colts, while they are still rusty, though I still think the Chargers are the team with the best shot to take them out. The Colts would be way better off if they were playing the Jets, mainly because the Ravens would have a better chance of beating the Chargers than the Jets will. Speaking of which...
SAN DIEGO(-10)ny jets The Jets will have a hard time keeping up with any of the remaining teams, other than the Ravens, and we won't get to see that game. I think this will go higher.
NEW ORLEANS(-5.5)arizona How do you pick a line for this game? Especially after Warner's sizzling performance a few minutes ago. You don't. You pick a number between 4 and 7, and move the line once the $$ comes in. I think the Saints border on being a public team right now, in fact, I'd say they are. On the other hand, anyone who forgot what the Cardnails did last year in the playoffs just got a huge reminder. Welcome back from Mongolia, whoever you are. I think I take the Cards at anything over 4. I'm all about riding the hot hand, as I've said before. In fact, I might take the Cards(+3). Moving along...
MINNESOTA(-3)dallas Does the addition of Brett Favre make the Vikings a public team? If so, this could be 3.5. The way the 'Boys played yesterday (the last 4 weeks, really) I think it's 3. Mike B. told me yesterday he figured 2.5, but I figure Vegas will start on a prime number, to avoid passing through one. Now I will check the lines, and, if they are up, see if Mike wants to bang out a podcast.
No lines yet. Hold on while I call Mike.
I just talked to Mike, and these are his picks--we'll see who is closer soon enough.
INDY(-9)baltimore He thinks the Colts will go to the Super Bowl despite their slacker, sandbagging ways. I think I may be too high at 7, let alone 9, but we'll see.
SAN DIEGO(-7)ny jets Makes me wonder if the Jets might be the team that overly impressed the public this week. I guess I'd be more impressed if I'd picked Cincy myself.
NEW ORLEANS(-5)arizona Basically same pick as me, for the same reasons. I'm mainly curious which way this one moves.
dallas(pick)MINNESOTA Apparently he's starting to take the 'Boys seriously. I doubt that he's alone, especially now that the commentators have fellatiated Dallas for the past day, completely unlike what I've been doing for the past week. Just don't ask me to explain how it's different. Please don't. Please.

Mike loves the Cowboys, and they love him
I think by the weekend he may be closer than me, though I'll be shocked if the line opens lower than 2.5. Also I'll be pissed, because I'm leaning towards 3 dogs, and I want some points to work with, damnit.
This may have taken the drama out of picking for the podcast, so I think I will wait for Bill & Sal's lines to do it. Maybe I'll even change my mind by then, since I made my picks about 10 minutes after the Packers got eliminated.
