So we really weren’t that far off with the 27-20 Cowboys prediction last night. What we couldn’t have guessed is that “Iron Man” Brett Favre would have gone down and that Aaron Rodgers would look good in his absence. Should we be worried about this Favre quote regarding his shoulder and what it will take to play next week: “It’s one of those things you can shoot up and play with.” Um, Vicodin, Brett? In any event, the Cowboys will have home field in the playoffs now; and let’s not forget they were ahead 27-10 when Favre was still playing. They are the best team in the NFC. The quick picks (winner in bold). Keep in mind: when two of the best teams play Thursday, the picks can be tougher for the rest of the week. Lot of tossups:

Atlanta at St. Louis
Buffalo at Washington
Detroit at Minnesota
Houston at Tennessee
Jacksonville at Indianapolis
New York Jets at Miami
San Diego at Kansas City
Seattle at Philadelphia
San Francisco at Carolina
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
Cleveland at Arizona
Denver at Oakland
New York Giants at Chicago
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh
New England at Baltimore

Also: Nude Bobby Orr painting (SFW). … Life in Knicks Hell (oh, and this came out before they lost 104-59 last night) … and the Fasola-Link!

Later today: We Said, She Said + Hunt Down. Coming Monday: Joker is the second person in the history of the COW to personally call me and say that he has to write. (First was Rocket) So we’ll give him the honor on Monday. He promises it will be worth it.
