The Fryguy Invectives: Frey's Championship Picks and Broncos Rant

Listen…..

I’m not even going to pretend that I know what I am talking about after going 0-4 against the spread last week.

Children of the 80's and 90's.....you know how this feels......

But not knowing what I am talking about has never kept me from railing on about stuff in the past and I am not about to slow my roll now.

Let me start by regurgitating my disgust upon the Denver Broncos infuriating and uninspired performance.

How could they do this to a child? How!?!?!

Did someone forget to tell Jack Del Rio that the Colts have a competent QB?

We came out series after series, lined up pretty much the same way, didn’t move anyone around or stunt much, and watched the Colts methodically mount clock and soul killing drives.

Hell, even the 2 turnovers we got were simply “arm punts”.

Whenever the opposing QB is walking off the field during a playoff game laughing after tossing an interception you know that you've been had.

How about that offensive game plan eh?

Nothing like a series of 1 yard crossing patterns finishing with a crescendo of Hail Mary throws down the sidelines into triple coverage. Either Indy was playing with 13 defensive backs or someone else has to be open somewhere.

If I see 1 more freaking bubble screen I am going to punch Adam Gase in the wiener.

Here are the picks for what it’s worth <grumble>:

Green Bay @ Seattle (-7)

There are 3 reasons why I cannot guarantee a Seattle blowout this week:

1) The weather is supposed to be windy and rainy. Soggy weather tends to penalize the speedier team (Seattle) and throws some uncertainty into the turnover margins.

2) Aaron Rodgers at 75% is still the 2nd or 3rd best QB in the NFL. Elite QB’s have a tendency to pull of wins if the games are close coming down the stretch.

3) After the last 2 weeks I couldn't guarantee that rain was wet with any degree of confidence.

This pick rests solely on the eye test. I watched all the games last week and am always shocked at the speed and physicality of the Seahawks on both sides of the ball.

A hobbled Rodgers looked inconsistent last week against a subpar Dallas pass rush and secondary. If I am Packers fan, I am probably pooping cheese right now.

Take the ‘Hawks to cover.

Indianapolis @ New England (-6.5)

Last week I predicted a New England win and cover (got it half right) based partly upon the idea that the Patriots are nearly undefeatable when allowed an extra week to plan new and effective ways to cheat.

As always, the rat-bastard Patriots did not disappoint, shrewdly skirting the line between dishonorable and outright felonious with their shifty formations and quick snaps.

Here is what I expect will happen this week:

Lacking the time to come up with something both nefarious and subtle, Belichick will exploit the NFL’s new policy of suspending players charged with major crimes and pay that worthless chick who falsely accused the Duke Lacrosse team of sexual assault to levy the same charge against Andrew Luck.

Should the Colts cry foul, Brady will simply chuckle, shrug, and say, “Those guys need to read the rulebook.”
