Should have taken Bell's absence more seriously.

Really !

I was thinking that since I awoke this morning but it just didn't sink in.

I looked at how well the Steelers have done at home. The fact that Joe Flacco was 0-3 Vs them in the playoffs.

Then I screwed up. I placed too many CP's on Pittsburgh.

The way these two teams bang at one another. It was a 4 CP game and a pick.

yup. Steelers really got their Bells rung

Saw Steelers/Ravens as a push, 4 points the wrong way on it. Figure Pittsburgh wishes they had just sat Blount down instead of cutting him loose? They might be playing next week if they had.

I'm glad I went back and changed the Steelers to only 4 pts...initially I had 4 points on IND-CIN game.

Won $50 on Ravens. Think they beat NE straight up next Sat.

Although they have 18 players on IR, they have plenty of impact players on both sides of the ball and TOP NOTCH special teams.

Plus, the John & Jim Harbaugh team will be tough to beat. You know Jim is consulting big time. Pretty nice to have that on your side come playoff time.

I almost did that.

Hindsight = 20/20.

It's amazing just how much LeVeon Bell meant to Pittsburgh.

Jim is very very busy.

It was funny that everyone picked the Panthers and the Steelers.

It all comes down to CP's, it always does.

I'm was pissed with myself that I placed so much confidence in the Steelers.

Then reviewing that decision and looking at the Bengals @ Colts matchup:

I asked myself this question:

Have either Andy Dalton or Andrew Luck ever won a Wild card game?

The answer for that left me more accepting of the confidence I placed in Pittsburgh (knowing that the Steelers would be without LeVeon Bell); but I didn't go far enough.

I should have looked at Flacco's playoff success Vs Ben Roth's.....and placed 4 CP's on Baltimore.

Not one member picked Detroit over Dallas in both this Pro Pickem or the regular Packerrats Pro Pickem.

[woodbuck27]

Tough group.

Next week will be good.

I hope we see four good games.
