Each week, a friend of mine named Phil and I pick the winners of
the games being played that week in the NFL.
Phil is a loyal Philadelphia Eagles fan, while I, of course, am an avid
Green Bay Packers fan.
With Phil leading by one game going into this week, it was beginning to look rather likely
that he would emerge victorious in our contest. However, we differed on 2 out of the 4 picks
this week, and the tables have surprisingly turned. We each went out somewhat on a limb: Phil
picked New Orleans to beat Minnesota, and I picked Baltimore to beat Tennessee. I would have
loved to have seen Minnesota get booted out of the playoffs yet again (they now appear to be headed for
the Super Bowl), but that didn't happen, and the Titans fell apart at home like the Jaguars
did last year. With those results, I now own the one game advantage, with only 3 games left to pick.
