2025 NFL Picks Against An 18-Year-Old - Divisonal Round Style

Something we have been consistent with here in The Cheap Seats for 15 years is proving time and again that we don't know what we're doing. After CDog and JDaddy finished in the first tie in Cheap Seats history, we decided to each pick 3 games from Wild Card Weekend

Well, wouldn't you know it, we each went 3-0. The Packers really let me down with their meltdown. 

We're going to do it again this week, with each of us picking 2 games. Will it end this week?
