We were a lousy 1-3 straight-up in the Divisional Round last week, as I joined the millions of victims of the Minnesota Miracle _ or should I say the game-ending play not made by the Saints' Marcus Williams.
(Welcome to eternal infamy, kid. Your greeters are Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood. You have earned your place).
I fared much better against the spread, at least, going 2-1-1. Had Patriots covering and had Jaguars with points at Pittsburgh, while the Vikes' win ended up pushing at five points for the tie.
