SIGN-UP FOR THE PLAYOFF FANTASY FOOTBALL CHALLENGE

I closed out the regular season with a bang in Week 17, picking 13 of 16 winners straight up taking me to well over the 60 percent mark for the regular season. Both of my survivor picks, the Colts and the Lions, picked up wins but they didn't come without drama. Against the spread wasn't as good. My Rams (-3) pick was terrible as the young team choked with a playoff spot on the line. I did nail the under the Saints/Bucs game, but my three-team parlay wasn't close as only Detroit (-3.5) manage to cover. I'm ready to turn the page to the postseason...Here are my picks for this week:

CONFIDENCE POOL
SURVIVOR PICK
AGAINST SPREAD

4 Saints at SEA
3 Packers at PHI
2 Jets at IND
1 Ravens at KC

Year-to-date: 140-89 (0.611 winning percentage)

MY PICK: SAINTS - I can't remember a more lopsided Wildcard Weekend playoff matchup. You have a 7-9 team hosting the defending World Champs. Look for New Orleans to win this game by more than two touchdowns, giving those still left in a Survivor pools a first-round bye. Don't over think it, go with the Saints.

Season Starting Balance: $500
Balance Heading Into Week: $777

$110 Saints -10.5

$55 Packers +2.5

$50 2-Team Parlay
--Jets +3
--IND/NYJ Under 44.5
