Brent NFL Suicide Pool...

For the past six weeks we have been one of two players left in the $400 pool. Ironically, both of us guessed wrong on the Broncos in weeks 15 and 17. So after 17 weeks we head into the playoffs waiting for one of us to blink first. You can only pick a team twice, so of the 12 playoff teams, the Patriots, Saints and Ravens are officially off the board for us. On the other hand, the Cardinals, Eagles, Jets and Bengals can still be picked twice. (As if any of them would ever win twice during the tournament.) That leaves the Packers, Cowboys, Colts, Vikings and Chargers as teams we can pick once in the playoffs. At this point, it's very tempting to take the Bengals over the Jets, save the Cowboys possibly for later and not even mess around with the Cardinals, Eagles or Packers this weekend. Still, picking the Bengals in a playoff game is downright dicey. So that leaves us leaning towards taking the Cowboys (for our final time) over the Eagles.
