The random musings of Papaw Ott

By far the best time of the NFL season is this weekend and of course Superbowl weekend. This year I think it's pretty cool to see some of the top teams be in the running. Some years in the NFL that just isn't the case and that is one disadvantage of the 1 and done playoff structure. But so far this year it has worked. The game just started and I am looking for a Colts win today and a Saints win tonight.

Just because the structure worked this year doesn't mean it always does. Same can be said for college basketball. Anyone could have a good game on the same day a better team is having a bad day. Sure teams have to have a certain amount of talent to make it to a playoff or the NCAA tournament but if the Raiders (funny, I know) would have made it to the playoffs and beat the Colts today would that really make them the better team or could it be simply that they had a better day? This is one of a few times that you will hear me say that I think the NBA does it better. For the NFL or NCAA a best 5 of 7 is probably too much, but I think a best 2 of 3 would give us a better picture of who the best team really was.

Anyway, here's to the Colts and to the Saints! Good luck!
