Perhaps it was when I had to ask the guys from the Mine Rescue Simulation team how the hell you simulate a mine in a hotel casino.  It could have been when the cab driver asked me if I wanted to tag along with his next customer out to the Bunny Ranch.  But in hindsight, I think the moment I realized that Massholes don't belong in Reno was when I was walking down North Virginia Street and realized I was out of place because I was actually wearing a shirt.

In many ways, the Conference Championship weekend is much much better than the Super Bowl itself. Usually we get great games. However according to vegas this year, it's not looking so great. We'll see if NE can cover those 14 points and if the Packers can cover the 7.

Now the real fun begins. Remembering that the home team, the ones with the bye, win an overwhelming majority of the games in this round, we try to spot the one upset that might happen this weekend. Based on the lines from Vegas, that seems unlikely. Check out what Ryan, Billy, and Vin have to say about this week's games.

Last week, we mostly agreed on the picks and it turned out to be a pretty damn boring week in the NFL. This week, we have disagreements all over the place so hopefully we'll see some good games this weekend. Oh... and have fun listening to Packers/Cowboys on the radio!

The featured games this week are Packers @ Cowboys, Jaguars @ Colts, Chargers @ Chiefs, and Seahawks @ Eagles. You can download the podcast directly (running time 60 mins) or subscribe to the feed.
