This week's selection criterion is based upon the horoscopes of the various teams' head coaches.
I'm using the January 2 horoscope from here:
http://horoscopes.astrology.com/index/dailyindex.html
Aries (Del Rio) - There's stuff going on under the surface that might not be easy to understand -- but that doesn't mean it's possible to ignore. Make sure you're paying close attention to all the subtle signals coming your way.
Taurus (Turner) - You are experiencing rather intense feelings right now and may feel the need for a bit of relaxation in the middle of it all. Try to pace yourself, so that you don't end up running out of steam too soon.
Gemini (Holmgren) - Someone in your life needs your help, though it might not be very easy to figure out who it is and what they need. Take your time and think it all through -- then get busy and do what's right!
Leo (Gruden) - You've got to make sure that you're paying closer attention than usual when you're dealing with family today -- there's plenty of little signals coming in that are very easy to miss otherwise.
Virgo (Coughlin) - You're wondering about some esoteric topic that might not matter to anyone else -- but don't let that stop you! Keep pushing in that direction -- sometimes curiosity brings great things to life.
Sagittarius (Gibbs) - Your dreams are important right now, no matter how realistic they may seem. Make sure that you're not just going through the motions -- you've really got to put some work into them at this time.
Pisces (Tomlin, Fisher) - It's far too easy for you to say 'yes' when you mean 'no' today, so you may want to practice a bit before it gets to be tiresome. There's only so much that you can do for people, after all!
Washington - Joe Gibbs, born November 25 (Sagittarius) at Seattle - Mike Holmgren, born June 15 (Gemini) The stars select
Seattle, which will get busy and do what's right, versus Washington, which may not be putting in enough effort.
Jacksonville - Jack Del Rio, born April 3 (Aries) at Pittsburgh - Mike Tomlin, born March 15 (Pisces) I'm going with
Jacksonville, as the stars feel that Pittsburgh needs more practice. J'ville will be fine so long as subtle signals are not ignored.
Giants - Tom Coughlin, born August 31 (Virgo) at Tampa Bay - Jon Gruden, born August 17 (Leo) I've gotta go with my own horoscope (Virgo), so my pick is the
NY Giants, who will keep pushing, versus Tampa Bay, which the stars indicate may miss little signals.
Tennessee - Jeff Fisher, born February 25 (Pisces) at San Diego - Norv Turner, born May 17 (Taurus) The stars select
San Diego, which will be okay so long as they pace themselves, over Tennessee, which I'm afraid will just need more practice.
By
41 (one of my lucky numbers).
Thank you.
Yes it is.
