After watching all four quarters of all four wild-card games, I think I now officially know what it feels like to be tortured. The games were so bad that they made me want to punch a hole in my wall. NFL Playoffs I can empathize with because who doesn't want to punch a wall when they're mad? It's literally my first instinct. Lose to my brother in "Tecmo Bowl?" Punch a hole in the wall. Wrong pizza order shows up at my apartment? Punch a hole in the wall. No one will buy my "Jersey Shore" DVDs on Craigslist? Punch a hole in the Greedy Williams Jersey wall. Someone pokes me on Facebook when I didn't even realize the poke button was still functional? Punch a hole in the wall. Basically, there's no reason to ever not punch a wall. If you mi sed Odell's wall punch, he apparently left after the ' 38-13 lo s to Green bay.Odell Beckham was banging head against locker room door, per Sal Pal. Also believed to have punched this hole in Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) The crazy thing about Beckham's punch is that it wasn't even the most absurd thing to happen after a playoff game last weekend. That honor goes to a sistant coach Joey Porter, who was arrested Sunday night and charged with a sault after (allegedly) getting into it with a doorman at a bar. Porter as he gets ready to deal with charges that include aggravated a sault (on an officer), simple a sault (on the doorman), resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Between the wild-card blowouts, Odell's punch and Porter's arrest, I thought the weekend was going to be a total lo s, but it wasn't, thanks to and . That's right, Brady is on Instagram, and he already has more followers than me. As a NFL Cleveland Browns Jersey matter of fact, he has more followers than everyone I know combined, plus everyone they know. Also, Brady is a picture machine. Here's his first photo.A photo posted by Tom Brady (@tombrady) on Jan 7, 2017 at 1:26pm PST I'm gue sing he got a call from Belichick about five minutes after that photo was posted and I'm gue sing that call had something to do with Brady not wearing gloves outside in the snow. That's frostbite waiting to happen, Tom. The last thing the need is for your first picture on Instagram to turn into a Donner Party situation. It's too bad Belichick didn't sign up for Instagram because the photo below .Hey , look who I found on the Nantucket ferry on their bye week... Adam Markopoulos (@AdamMarko) I'm gue sing that photo was taken about five minutes after Belichick found out the Patriots were facing the this week. Trying to watch film on Houston will put anyone to sleep. I'm pretty sure half of America was taking a nap every time the Texans had the ball on Saturday. Speaking of sleep, hopefully my picks don't put you to sleep this week. As you may have noticed last week, there's an extra wrinkle added for the picks during the playoffs: No, you can't have my "Jersey Shore" DVDs, but I am going to let you know my season-long record for picking each playoff team. Here's how it works: I've tabulated all my picks from the season and now you'll know how I did picking each individual team. For instance, I went 13-3 picking Patriots games in 2016, so if I say they're Jaelen Strong Jersey going to beat the Texans by 40, then they're going to be beat the Texans by 40. On the other hand, I went just 8-8 picking games, so I won't be offended if you ignore my Seahawks-Falcons pick. As always, you can from all of our CBSSports.com experts. If you click over this week, you'll notice that Jared Dubin has turned into the of picking playoff games: No one can stop him. Dubin went 4-0 straight up and against the spread in the wild-card round. Forget Dubin though, let's get to the picks. Divisional round picks Saturday, Jan. 14No. 3 Seattle (11-5-1) at No. 2 Atlanta (11-5) TV: 4:35 p.m. ET (Fox) Although we didn't get in the playoffs this season, we did get the next best thing when it comes to quarterbacks who choke in the postseason: . That's right, when it comes to falling flat on your face in the playoffs, Ryan was Dalton before Dalton was Dalton. Ryan started off his postseason career 0-3 before the Falcons finally won a game after the 2012 season. I was at that game in January 2013, which I'm only mentioning because A) It was played on my birthday (Happy birthday to me) and B) It came against the . That's right, in a weird twist of fate that will likely one day be explained in a Jonathan Nolan movie, Ryan gets to face the only team that he has ever beaten in the playoffs. He also gets to face a team that he torched for 335 yards in October during a 26-24 Seahawks win that's still a sensitive topic in Atlanta because of a pa s interference call that wasn't made when bumped on a Falcons fourth-down play late in the fourth quarter.Textbook pa s interference from Richard Sherman on Julio Jones. How can half dozen officials mi s that? James Bartolomei (@JamesHenryB3) Ryan also threw three touchdown pa ses in that game, which I'm only noting because that game came before got injured. Thomas played in 11 games this season and the Seahawks defense only gave up seven touchdown pa ses while he was on the field in those 11 games. Rashard Higgins Jersey Three of those seven came from Ryan. To put that in perspective, and Tom Brady combined to throw ONE touchdown pa s against the Seahawks while they had Thomas. This time around, the Seahawks aren't going to have Thomas, which means Ryan might just throw nine touchdown pa ses. I don't think he will, but I'm not going to pretend like it can't happen. The Seahawks losing Thomas is like the brakes going out on your car the night before you're about to take a cro s-country trip. Sure, you can still drive, but without brakes, you're going to have to avoid hills, stop signs, red lights and small children. Basically, you're going to have to change your entire thinking, just like the Seahawks have had to do on defense without Thomas. The Seahawks were my preseason pick to win LI, so it causes me extreme pain to do this, but I'm taking the Falcons. Joe Thomas Jersey It looks like my streak of correctly picking the Super Bowl winner during the preseason is going to end at one. Last season, my pick was the . The Pick: Falcons 30-20 over Seahawks By the way, just to show you guys I'm not selfish, half the reason I'm picking the Falcons in this game is just so this woman can celebrate a Super Bowl without being pregnant. Every woman deserves that. January 31st my daughter will be 18, 18 years since my Falcons been to the SB. I need to experience a falcon SB where I'm not giving birth! #DBN (@lovemefalcons) My mom definitely knows how that lady feels. She had tickets to a Super Bowl once, but had to give them up to give birth to me instead. Sorry mom. I owe you one for that. Record picking Seattle games this season: 11-6 (or 12-5 depending on how we count that tie; this guy says
