Arizona Premiere Sports

All week leading up to this weekend’s divisional playoffs in the NFL all I heard amongst the talking heads was how New Orleans had lost three consecutive games going in, and how Indianapolis had lost their last two, and how neither team had played a “meaningful game” in about a month, and how all of this was going to play into their opponents hands.

Well, we saw how things turned out didn’t we.  Here we are Monday morning and three of the top four teams won their games.  And not only won, but won handily.

Sports talk (radio or televised) oh these many years seems to be directed at the misguided betting sports public.  Always trying to find some angle to predict the outcome of games.  Well let me tell you something betting folks: IT DOESN”T WORK!

That’s what makes sports so great, their unpredictability.  You wouldn’t want them to be predictable.  It would be boring!

What cracks me up though is that anyone was believing the crap from the talking heads.  I could bring up plenty of examples of teams over the years who lost their last couple of games and ended up winning the Super Bowl, or at least appearing in the big game.  It doesn’t mean a damn thing.

And regarding the bye week, when did that all of a sudden become  a negative for a team? Isn’t that what the playoff teams play for? A week off to rest, regroup, and plan.  Seems to me that would be an advantage.  But in this black is white, up is down world of punditry these days, nothing surprises me.

All I know is this: next year I’ll be hearing the same stupid prognostications about some of next year’s playoffs teams. 

THAT you can bet on!
