If you've been waiting for us to post our Championship Sunday picks all the way up to now, then you must be very loyal to IMLD, and we love you very much. Here they are. I can put Jason away if Tampa manages to either win or lose by two points or less:

Every week Jason and I make fun of how similarly we think about many things as it pertains to football. This time, we outdid ourselves. We agreed on three of the four picks this weekend...while also independently selecting three of the four same X-Factors for the game! You should listen to the podcast for our reax, and also for Jay breaking out his Whitney Young trig learnin' and calculating the odds of us doing that. It's something else, that's all I can tell ya. Here are our picks for the Divisional Round games:
It can't just be a Wild Card Weekend now that there are two extra games, oh no. The league had to get some branding on there and call it a Super Wild Card Weekend, so that now they can make remote control covers with that phrase on it and sell them for $40. Jay and I only disagreed on two of the six games, but there was lively debate and info about all of the games, and I think there's a little something to look for in each contest. Here are the Wild Card picks and the playoff point system for our handicapping scoring:

Jason has introduced his children into the football-picking game since we're in Week 17, which is the ultimate in aggravation trying to pick NFL outcomes. And this year may be the most random because of the coronavirus. There are lots of guys not playing because of this Christmas-related goop outbreak, and there may be last-minute deactivations before the games are played, so check your news sources. We'll see if the kiddos can beat us and the Coin in predicting these outcomes. And there's ribs and ice cream in store for Cute Factor 1 (Jay's daughter Trinity) and Cute Factor 2 (his son Grant) if they can take us down. Bring it on! Here's all the picks for Week 17:

Jason and I are glad to take 3-1 records from all of the pre-Sunday Week 16 action in the NFL. Never bad to go 75% ATS no matter the scenario, unless you're parlaying. We actually have some dispute among our other picks, and he's not just going against my Lock but rooting hard against it. I'm up one in Locks, so if I win this week and he loses, it's all over. Here are our Week 16 picks, where we do battle on six games:
It's so 2020 to wake up on Christmas morning with some hope and happiness...and then find out that downtown Nashville was car-bombed. At this point, you can't do much but shrug. Jay and I checked in to make our picks for the Saturday NFL tripleheader and found ourselves hand in hand yet again with our picks. Maybe the Sunday games will produce some argument. At least we started the week off right thanks to the Saints. Here are the picks for the Saturday Three-Way:

Two games! Jason and I disagree on two games this week. TWO! In all our 30 years of picking NFL games, I don't believe we've ever been this lockstep with our picks in a given week. I don't even know how to respond to us being that kumbaya with each other. And to think, we filled up our podcast (and spilled over into the aftershow) discussing the picks even though we were the same on 13 of them, 14 counting Thursday night. Guess when you love football, you can talk about it to infinity. Here are the very same-looking picks, which do not have us with the exact same Lock, at least:
