Heading into this Sunday's NFC Championship game, I cannot recall a more beloved "road favorite" than the Green Bay Packers. As good as the Packers have looked these past few weeks, this is a rivalry game at Soldier Field. Whenever ten of my dopiest friends are asking me to "push a bet on Green Bay through for them", it can only mean one thing- head for the hills.
The Pain trade refers to the move in a direction which will have a negative impact on the overwhelming majority of people. Since I have successfully identified these poor schmucks as people betting on the Packers, there is only one choice. Take the home dog with the points. The Bears catching three and a hook is the correct discipline in this game. After all, what are the odds of everybody you know making money on the Packers tomorrow? Exactly. Stay tuned for thoughts on the Jets-Steelers matchup.

Heavy Heart......
Before I delve into my customary practice of releasing winners like confetti at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, I must first express my heartfelt condolences. This afternoon my uncle and long time Propick supporter succumbed to cancer. Uncle Marty was one of the finest people to have ever walked this planet. While it might be a stretch to compare someone who spent his whole life helping others to myself(even though I do line people's pockets with money on a weekly basis),I will make the comparison anyway.
With a heavy heart I am releasing my NFL Game of The Year tomorrow. With the majority of my friends and the overwhelming view of the common man on the Ravens, I have no choice but to back the Steelers. With the extra week off to get healthy, Pittsburgh hosts a Ravens team that is vulnerable on the defensive side of the ball. With the "common man" focusing on the blow out win over the listless Chiefs last week, I choose to look at the overwhelming advantage home teams have during the divisional round of the playoffs.
Despite being a solid road team and possessing weapons at the skill positions, quarterback Joe Flacco has made mistakes against Pittsburgh in the past. With a healthy Troy Polamalu roaming the secondary, I expect more of the same. This will be a hard fought slugfest for four quarters but in the end the Steelers will cover the number and win a 20-10 type of game. Steelers -3 over the Ravens.

Silencio Por Favor.....
In an effort to be as succinct as possible (that and the fact that I am blogging from work), I will release this weekend's winners.
Seahawks +11 over the Saints (if you have to ask why then you obviously don't adhere to my outside the box thinking)
Jets +3 over the Colts.
Chiefs +3 over the Ravens. Much like the Saints, the Common Man is all over the Ravens. In the event the Saints and Ravens both cover, Monday should be declared a national state of Emergency. Even more disturbing than the ever growing federal deficit will be the success of the Common Man. A far more disturbing trend.

Brave New Year.....
With a new year comes high expectations. After a two week blogging hiatus, the king is back. As Wild Card Weekend fast approaches, it is time to turn this rig into over drive. Without releasing any of these games yet, I will admit that there is a Game I absolutely love and will be highlighting as my first ever Playoff Game of the Year.
As for the National Championship game this upcoming Monday, I will be making a major release on this event as well. Sit back, relax, and get ready to collect a pile full of money. This is Propick's version of a home based business.
Tonight's NBA Winner is the New Jersey Nets +7 at home over the Bulls. As bad as the Nets are, they are competitive at home and the Bulls have been a disappointing road favorite. During the sleepy month of January, I have traditional buried the book by taking the dog with the most fleas on it. The release...Nets +7 over the Bulls.
