Playoffs are here.............

Yes,  it's that time a year when the new season starts. Just to put a bow tie on the regular season,  I finished last week with 11-5 and 156-100 on my picks for the season. Now for the playoffs...The Saints at home entertain the Lions. All indicators are the Saints will win this one...Undefeated at home for the first time in Saints history in 2011; Averaging over 40 points per game at home; And more importantly the defense has allowed less points in the last half of the season than they did in the first half. Case in point...since the Bye in week eleven the Saints defense has allowed and average of 18.5 points per game. In their last eight games the Saints defense has allowed 18.75 points per game. In their five home games since their loss to the Rams in St Louis, the Saints have allowed an astounding 18 points per game. You do the math. If the Saints are averaging over 40 points per game in offense and the defense is only allowing 18 points per game at home the conclusion is easy...Saints win. Enjoy the game and I'll talk to you next week.
