Ack! 0-4 on the picks this week, with a crazy slate of games. I’m not sure how people will explain away New England’s performance. And three cheers for an excellent fourth game – that’s what the playoffs should be about.

Check out the graph. Most teams moved in accordance with their victories, but Baltimore still has a lot of beatlosses to fight through. Also, note that Denver’s beatwin over New England has re-emerged thanks to New England’s season split with Baltimore. A big hollow hurrah from me to Denver.
