It's time for the 2008 Glauber Nation Playoff Contest
With the start of the playoffs just days away, it is time for the second annual Glauber Nation Playoff Picks Contest.
Back to defend his championship is the legendary "Poppy," who eked out an impressive win in last year's playoffs and had the distinct pleasure of his own celebratory blog post.
Bullet Bob Buscavage of Moriches now challenges anyone and everyone to another playoff competition. Good luck to one and all.
BBiB! has already been contacted about doing the spreadsheet, so fire away.
We'll go week-by-week, so this week's games:
Falcons at Cardinals
Eagles at Vikings
Ravens at Dolphins
Jets at Patriots ... ha! just kidding
Colts at Chargers
(World famous blogger Bob Mantz and I will have a side arrangement here - we will not call this a bet because we/I don't bet - but there could be a contribution to a charity, assuming that is all above board).

We'll start it off with:
Falcons over Cardinals
Vikings over Iggles
Dolphins over Ravens
Colts over Chilkoots
Cardinals over Falcons
Iggles over Vikings
Ravens over Dolphins
Chilkoots over Colts
These games will bring back memories of 1940 Europe, when the visiting teams won everything and the home teams were pretty much overrun.
.
If Koot's is smart he'll buy a Colt's flag and hang it out his window in time for Sunday's (? or Saturday? I dunno) Indykreig.
(Sitting outside nibbling on croissants and muddling through some syrupy looking coffee while watching the game would add a dash of retro-realism to the scene).
AKA....Falcons, Eagles, Ravens and Colts.
From two time zones away.
Falcons
Vikings
Fins
Chargers
You don't get to the 300 I go by nibbling on anything, so I'm sticking with beef thinly sliced and wrapped in flat bread, aka fajita, with a beer chaser. The game will be wild but SD will end up on top.

(Not all the road teams can win, right? Hope I picked the right one)

Eagles over Vikings

Okay.....there's such a thing as "hedging" bets, and then there's "wedging" bets.
Best picks the Bolts over the Colts here, and then on his blog he's predicting that the Manning's will face each other in the Super Bowl.
There is something evil and Cornellian in these events.
