Wilbon skips the Skins in his post-season picks
 

There was a Q/A with Wilbon in the WP Express this morning (the free version they pass out on the metro):

[QUOTE][B]Who do you see in the playoffs in the NFC?[/B]

It's still difficult but here goes, in order of seeding: Seattle, Carolina, Giants and Bears as division winners. Tampa Bay and Minnesota are the wild cards. Sorry, don't dare ask me why I don't have the Redskins in there.[/QUOTE]

All in all, these are some pretty safe picks. I think taking Minnesota over a second NFC East team is a mistake, though - either the Skins or the Cowgirls are going.

On a side note, is anyone surprised Wilbon picked the Bears? Fine - it's a good pick this year, but he [B]always[/B] picks his hometown team.

You would think so, wouldn't you? Of course, you would be wrong :(

Wilbon always sticks up for Chicago sports on PTI. Says they may suck, but because people here are optimistic when they probably shouldn't be and he's realistic about his team doesn't make him fairweather.

no, he likes the skins and wizards, but not nearly as much as the bears and bulls, cubs and sox (when they're doing well).
