Well, two rounds in and things are looking pretty bleak for the Bybee’s and their football picks. Here are the standings:
Joshua: 4-4
Sunny: 3-5
Jason: 3-5
Abby Kate: 2-3 (She only picks certain games. What a diva.)

Don’t take any of us to Vegas with you, I guess.

Last night, though, Abby Kate just out of the blue said, “Hey, tomorrow’s Friday. That means we have to make our football picks, Dad.” So this has become something of a little family tradition.

Only two games on the slate at this point. Time is running out if I’m going to catch Joshua.

NFC Championship Game: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals
Who would have ever guessed these two would make it to the NFC Championship? I think I heard on the radio that one of these teams will be the first ever 9-win team to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Crazy. This one looks like it could be a shoot-out. I think Philly should win, but at this point nothing would surprise me.
Joshua’s pick: Eagles
Sunny’s pick: Eagles
Jason’s pick: Eagles
Abby Kate’s pick: Cardinals

AFC Championship Game: Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Obviously, this game loses some of its luster for me with the Titans’ loss last week. Tennessee played terribly (4 trips to the red zone, 0 points), but I just hate that lousy officiating also helped determine the outcome of the game. As it stands, Pittsburgh should be heavily favored against Baltimore. I’m hoping for an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl.
Joshua’s pick: Steelers
Sunny’s pick: Steelers
Jason’s pick: Steelers
Abby Kate’s pick: Ravens

For some reason Abby Kate decided to branch out with her picks this week. We’ll see on Sunday if her gutsy picks pay off.
