75% over 8 playoff games? I need my own Vegas 900 number.
Now it gets tricky... I really want to take Pittsburgh over Denver but Im gonna have to look at that one a little closer... And whats the deal with Alexander? Will he play against Carolina? Will he be 100%?

As an FYI, Alexander is apparently playing, but perhaps not at 100%.
Should have remembered to post here last week... but as I'd only have gotten the Seahawks game right, it wouldn't have mattered. 'Hawks and Steelers, baby.
