By now you’re all familiar with the concept: I go to the local Zoo and let Cinder, a hairless chimpanzee make football picks based on which logo she favors. If you need a refresher, here’s the original Wild Card weekend picks.

We let you, the reader, try to out-pick Cinder with a series of polls. Let the games begin!

AFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS

Jacksonville @ New England

Cinder took her time, but picked New England. Smart chimp. She ran away from the Jaguars logo, so maybe this game will be a blowout…

San Diego @ Indianapolis

After mulling this one over, Cinder picked San Diego again. The funny thing is that it wasn’t even close — she poo-poo’d the Colts horseshoe logo right away and ran over to the Bolt. Of course, Bob Sanders wasn’t there to stop her…

NFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS

Seattle @ Green Bay

Maybe I should have let the walrus pick this one (with apologies to Mike Holmgren). Cinder paid a fair amount of attention to both logos but seemed to favor Green Bay. Could this be a sign of things to come?

New York (Giants) @ Dallas

Cinder has no idea what kind of stuff goes down when NFC East teams meet. She doesn’t understand the intense rivalry between all the teams in the division or the rich history of bounties (see also: Philadelphia Eagles/Dallas Cowboys turkey day game) when two division clubs clash.

Shockingly, Cinder picked the Giants to pull the upset.
