Divisional Round Picks

Here are my picks for the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Ravens (+3.5) @ Steelers
This is going to be a great game. Both defenses are fantastic and both quarterbacks can think on their feet. I think the running game is going to take full affect early and late however. There will be one or two big plays to keep both teams in it, but this game should be determined ultimately by a field goal.

Steelers 27 Ravens 24



Packers (+2) @ Falcons
All year I've been picking against Atlanta at home and losing. Not this time. The Falcons D is much better than advertised and their running game will slash through an overrated Green Bay squad. The Packers are America's favorite team right now...not mine. I think Atlanta is going to take this one by a touchdown.

Falcons 38 Packers 31



Seahawks (+10) @ Bears
The Bears Are another team that doesn't look particularly good on paper but they just keep winning games. This one ought to be a walk away. The Seahawks lookers great last week but they were playing at home against a very susceptible defense...not this time. Chicago's D will hold them until garbage time.

Bears 30 Seahawks 20



Jets (-9) @ Patriots
After all the smack talking this week, they actually have to play the game. Antonio Cromartie wants to f*** Tom Brady (as if he doesn't have enough kids himself) and Wes Welker is definitely aware of Rex Ryan's foot fetish. The bottom line is, the a Patriots are a MUCH better team than the Jets at just about every position on the field. And I'm sure Belicheck is going to put it on Ryan's boys.

Patriots 48 Jets 21

  1. I agree with Pats and Bears, but I think Falcons/Packers will be low scoring defensive game as well as Ravens/Steelers. Steelers injuries to O Line will finally catch-up to them....Ravens 20 Steelers 16

  2. I really just see the Pittsburgh game as a venue pick. I also think Baltimore's receivers are really good and Pittsburgh's going to go point for point with them. Hence the 27-24 pick.

    Atlanta and Green Bay have great offenses and every time I pick against ATL, they win.
