Pigskin Prophets: Week 11
Football!

We're scanning the scene in the city tonight
We're looking for you to start up a fight
There is an evil feeling in our brains
But there's nothing new, you know it drives us insane

Rivalries are built on two basic things: proximity and familarity. This weekend's playoff slate features a whole lot of the later, as eight of the nine games are rematches from the regular season. And the ninth? It's the first time those two teams have played in 14 years.

With more confidence than we deserve, but exactly as much as we need to survive, here are the picks (home team in CAPS).
