(Whoops.)

From Bill Simmons' mailbag with his NFL conference championship picks, I found this funny:

The Pick: Green Bay 30, New York 10

The Score: New York 23, Green Bay 20

Three straight road games for the Giants. (Uh-oh.)

Heading into the Green Bay game, the Giants won 9 straight games on the road. (Whoops.)

Eli playing a night game in the freezing cold when he's already on record as saying he hates playing in the freezing cold. (Uh-oh.)

Who likes playing in the freezing cold? Anyone like to get chased around by 300 pound behemoths in extremely cold weather? Anyone? If you watched the game, didn't Brett Favre look more miserable than Eli? Eli threw for 254 yards while the Giants elected to play a safe red zone offense-- running the ball. Only two visiting QB's this year have amassed more yards at Lambeau than Eli did. Eli did it in below-zero temperatures in the biggest game of his life. (Whoops.)

People talking themselves into the Giants as a Team of Destiny. (Uh-oh.)

I don't see what this has to do with what happens on the field. If anything, I'd want a confident, supportive fan base behind my team if I'm going to Lambeau Field in the NFC Championship game. Somehow, callers on WFAN have some effect on this game. Right. (Whoops.)

A Packers team that already has proven it's a monster home team that can extend leads into double figures. (Uh-oh.)

Already proven it's a monster road team that can extend leads into double figures: A Giants team. The Packers went 7-1 at home during the regular season --with no double-digit victories against a winning football team. Their stellar record looks monstrous but not when you look a little deeper and find that they had a cake home schedule that only featured one team with a winning record. Also, shouldn't every playoff team be able to "extend leads into double figures? (Whoops.)

Assuming the Pats win, the delicious possibility of Brett Favre and the Packers trying to stop the 18-0 Patriots. (Uh-oh.)

I believe it was you, Bill, who wrote this in your column just 17 days ago "Here's the problem: In the NFL, the best possible Super Bowl scenario almost never happens." Lesson learned. (Whoops.)
