As I said last night Throwball Playoffs are really about picking the team you hate most. This particular game is about picking the best team to beat the execrable Patsies who’s only redeeming feature is that they are slightly less over rated than the unlamented Broncos (let’s see them run up the score against a team without a High School Offense).
The analysts were picking the Ravens to face the Broncos which makes me naturally suspicious (see: “the only class of establishment media even dumber and more corrupt than political pundits“) AND there is their history of carpetbagging greed.
The Texans are a pure expansion franchise but they are from Texas. Last week they decisively beat the Bengals to advance. Given that the Ravens are said to have the advantage in every category it’s hard to explain why they are only 13 point favorites in a low scoring game (23 – 10) unless Flacco really is as bad as they say.
My contrarian instinct is forcing me to go against my ingrained disdain for all things Lone Star and pick the Texans but what I’ll really be looking for is a team that can boot the Patsies.
