You know what they say about what opinions have in common with a certain portion of the human anatomy. In the case of "experts" and their NFL game prognostications, though, it's typically the "expert" that ends up looking like that proverbial body cavity. FanHouse is getting in on the fun with our '08 Playoff Picks.It's an interesting week to begin shaking the Magic 8 Ball here, as these games each have interesting storylines but no clear-cut favorite. Not only are, shockingly, all of the road teams favorites in Vegas, but none of the spreads venture past three points.
That indecision amongst oddsmakers and bettors is reflected in our picks; very rarely is the same four-team combination picked, there's a nice variety in the selections. It's hard not to imagine a myriad of possibilities in all of these contests, and that's the way the playoffs should be -- competitive and intriguing.
See who we all picked, and add your own predictions, after the jump.

I LIKE ARIZONA--SAN DIEGO---BALTIMORE--AND PHILADELPHIA-- BUT I ALSO THINK THE PATRIOTS EVEN WITH ALL THE INJURYS THIS YEAR WOULD STILL KICK THE CRAP OUT OF ALL FOUR OF THESE TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!

On sportbetline.com at the start of the season if you had put $10 on Miami winning the division you would have some serious dough right now, 1,000,000,000 times more if the fish go all the way. But after a 1-15 season in a division with a team that went 16-0 who would waste the money? I guess next year we can put a Hamilton on Detroit to win their division and try to make up for it.
