Hondo
Hondo the conqueror
Hondo put the finishing touches Sunday on a historic 18-game comeback that enabled him to cop the coveted Bettor’s Guide regular season crown. As if that weren’t enough reward for his HondoNation followers, he also tied Willis and Serby for most Best Bet victories.
And there’s more. At the risk of tearing a rotator cuff, Mr. Aitch also is delighted to announce that, in addition to finishing a whopping 3,472 hartungs to the good during the baseball season, he also won all of the “points” in The Post’s recently concluded College Bowl Pool.
It has been alleged that “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,” but that’s Greek to The Champ, who’s feeling stress-free heading into wild-card weekend.
Dolphins-Steelers: The Fish, returning to the playoffs for the first time in eight years, unfortunately are relying on journeyman Matt Moore to do the improbable: Lead them to a second victory in Pittsburgh in the same season. The Killer B’s — Ben, Bell and Brown — will put the Dolphins in a Heinz Field hole so big they’ll never catch up (fyi: one Heinz Ketchup reference is allowed per season).
Terry Bradshaw, who has accused Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin of being more cheerleader than coach, says Tomlin already has his pregame pep talk worked out: “2-4-6-8, who do we eliminate? Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins! GO STEELERS!” Steelers 31-16
Giants-Packers: Tough game to call — two hot teams squaring off on the Frozen Tundra, one with a great quarterback going up against a great defense, and one with a declining quarterback facing a weak and beat-up defense. Forget making a Lambeau leap to the conclusion Big Blue has an edge because their last two playoff runs have gone through Green Bay. That’s about as relevant as the Packers’ wins over the Giants in the 1961 and ’62 championship games.
What is relevant is the Giants receivers’ ill-advised trip to Miami, about which Odell Beckham Jr. proclaimed: “I’m a grown man. I do what I am supposed to be doing.” Apparently, hanging out on a yacht where Adderall and pot are flowing is straight out of the Grown Man’s Manual. Regardless of how you look at their hot fun in the winter time, it won’t make it any easier for Beckham & Co. to hang onto a cold football with that Giant bull’s-eye they put on their backs.
Add ’er all up and it looks like a heartbreaker — but a cover — for the Giants! Packers 27-24.

Here's the schedule for these two teams for reference. Rest assured I will still send out picks for these.
