as the title of the thread says Robert Jensen of Dallas Cowboys fame will pick the League Championship round winner
As it stands now the League round game is :
New England Patriots vs. Washington Redskins
With that out of the way lets see if they have played each other before or not.
New England Patriots didn't face Washington Redskins at all during the season.
Now for the picks
reporter = knowing you picked 1 of the right winners which gives you a 7-3 record do you think you will get the last pick right the winner of the league game??
Jensen = totally shocked I am actually 7-3 on picking the playoff games and I could finish at 8-3 or even 7-4 which is shocking to say the least.
reporter = so lets get to it with the league round game with New England Patriots against Washington Redskins who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = first off let me say congrats to both teams. Now for the matchup you have a team like New England who has won their division 6 times in a row and a team like Washington that has won their division 2 times and been in the wildcard game too once in their history. And to top of it off New England has been in the conference championship game 5 times which is the farthest they have gotten in the playoffs awhile Washington was in their first conference championship game which is the farthest they have been so really you are talking about having a 1st time league champ in this matchup. New England has scored 694 points and given up 295 points awhile Washington has scored 584 points and given up 258 points so you are talking about the highest scoring team in New England awhile the 2nd fewest points scored on team in Washington.
With that out of the way I am picking New England to win over Washington 68-62 .
I am expecting a shootout here because 68 points is the most New England has scored awhile 62 points is the most Washington has scored.
reporter = I have to ask knowing neither team has been in the league championship round what would happen when either of those teams won??
Jensen = Ok I will tell you what will happen for each of them
What happens when New England wins the league every team's head coach will retire.
What happens when Washington wins the league just the division opponents of Washington's head coaches will retire.
Reporter = So here is those picks again in case someone missed Robert Jensen's picks
New England 68-62 Washington
Reporter = a quick question Robert Jensen before we go would you take that Denver Broncos head coaching job knowing they lost by only 7 points to the highest scoring team in the American conference and knowing they lost by only that much what does that say about New England ??
Jensen = Well 2 things. 1. I would imagine that whole coaching staff of Denver's would get fired because you are talking about a 6 time league participant . 2. really maybe that game tired out New England to the point they are ripe for a upset by Washington which I hope doesn't happen but it is hard to make of that game if it was just a slump or something worse.
