I blame myself. The Buffalo Bills started this season 0-4 before I swore off regular season NFL football. Then, right on queue, my favourite NFL team won eight of their next nine. I, apparently, was a serious jinx.
If the Bills beat Pittsburgh this afternoon, they will finish the season 10-6 and require either the St. Louis Rams to upset the New York Jets or the Indianapolis Colts to defeat the Denver Broncos to make the playoffs. As a result, I'm prematurely ending my boycott of regular season NFL action to root for the Bills and closely watch that scoreboard.
Go Bills Go!
