Well, the first round is over, and what a first round it was! Here's a quick recap of this ever-exciting first round:
We had a great hockey week at PickShack. ShackJr had picked five games and won four of them. The only game we lost was Colorado (4) against Washington (1): The Avalanche, despite their difficult season, really dominated this game at both end of the ice.
Stay tuned for more hockey picks coming up this week.
Pittsburgh (27) vs Arizona (23) - Won - As predicted, Arizona covered the spread and they came close to win this game. But what a catch at the end by Santonio Holmes for the winning drive. I think it is the best Super Bowl that I've experienced mainly because of the fourth quarter. Congratulations to both teams.
Philadelphia (25) vs Arizona (32) - Lost - The conference finals showed what a well prepared team can do under pressure. Arizona started very strong in the first half of the game and Philadelphia were pretty good in the second half but it was already too late. Warner really deserved to be in the big game with the numbers he had in this season.
Baltimore (13) vs Tennessee (10) - Won - Baltimore won this game because Tennessee couldn't score. After many good drives, even though the numbers were in favor of Tennessee, a good defense can make the difference and that is why Baltimore won that game.
Philadelphia (26) vs Minnesota (14) - Won - That's a victory for Philadelphia but McNabb had problems during the entire game until he made a pass to Westbook for a touchdown. Minnesota were were short of offense in the second half of the game.
New England (13) vs Buffalo (0) - Won - New England has a record of 11-5 for the season and their defense did a great job against Buffalo in very windy conditions.
New Orleans (42) vs Detroit (7) - Won - As expected, Detroit will finish the season at 0-16. New Orleans were just too strong for them. Detroit got overwhelmed during that game.
Philadelphia (3) vs Washington (10) - Lost - McNabb keeps choking during important games. Washington's defense played this game very well. A good defensive football game.
New England (49) vs Oakland (26) - Won - New England won way too easy against Oakland, the second worst team in the NFL. New England don't have much of a choice, they got to win them all if they want to go to the playoffs!
Tampa Bay (10) vs Atlanta (13) - Won - What a close call! That game was a close one mainly because Ryan has a good game in offense.
Washington (10) vs Baltimore (24) - Won - Baltimore are for real! They had no problem beating Washington.
Don't miss the big match up next weekend for Week 15 as Baltimore will be facing Pittsburgh. It's going to be a war of defenses!
