Good morning folks, and thanks to Fooch for grabbing the Nuggets, as SB Nation was being really weird last night. The playoffs begin today, and if you missed it, check out my preview of the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings game on the front page somewhere. The Cincinnati Bengals will also be playing the Houston Texans.

My picks: Minnesota and Cincinnati. I think the Texans have hit a wall and they'll continue their free fall. Anyway, let's get to your links and such. I'm in a big hurry and the site is being a little weird again and I don't want to have Fooch have to do 'em again. You wouldn't believe how big a jerk that guy can be when he's angry. Enjoy!
