*Guess I've got that old traveling bone* 
*'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone* 
*But I won't, won't* 
*Be losing my way, no, no* 
*Long as I can see the light*

- *Long As I Can See The Light by Creedence Clearwater Revival*

And for a few teams still fighting the playoffs start this week, or perhaps they're already here ...

With at least a tiny bit of confidence, here are the picks.
