Yes, you did, and that is on the list I made, and now I see your name is the only one I didn't cross out while creating first post. Updated now. Thanks.

Re: Playoff Picks Against the Spread Competition - Divisional Round
Let's see if I can build on my 1-3 momentum from last week:
Seattle at Atlanta -5
Houston at New England -16
Pittsburgh at Kansas City - 1.5
Green Bay at Dallas -4.5
Seriously though it may be time to rebuild my prediction model this offseason. Rough end to the year which is when it's supposed to be better. On the flip side it's been an odd season in terms of the amount of parity there has been and the Vegas lines have been oddly close to what my model says (i.e. very little value). No game this week shows even 3 points of value, and two games (PIT/KC and GB/DAL) have less than a half point of value.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.
