This Weekends NFL playoff picks.....
Ebizz 's Picks:
Patriots vs. Broncos
Patriots - I never bet against the Patriots in the playoffs.... and even though i hate them and want them to get that ass kicked, I dont see how they can loose to Denver. Broncos have EVERY odd stacked against them, including the guy who drafted him..... But thats why we play the game.. Folks be "reachin," creating 1000 excuses why the Broncos were lucky to beat the Steelers last week, but the Tebow hate should be over with by now in my opinion. There is no playbook to stop a well rested Patriots team.New Orleans vs. 49er's
New Orleans - Im goin with N.O.. They are very very very explosive. The 49ers got that defense, and have been shutting teams down left and right. But, I dont think any defense can all the way contain Brees and dem. Saints win by 10.
Ravens vs Texans
Baltimore - Im gone go with B'more, but Im not confident with this pick. The reason? I want to believe the Texans have found some kind of way to get over that hump that has held them back all of these years... That Ravens Defense is gone be all the way ready, But maybe this will be the Arian Foster show anyway....
Giants vs Packers
New York - I love how unpredictable them Giants can be. My boy Eli had alot of haters when he entered the league, but that superbowl win against Patriots was spectacular, and shut down the critics.... But man man man. This Greenbay team came off lockout into the season as if the lockout never occurred, so image how ready they will be for this game..... Dem Packers are ready to go for back 2 back Super bowls..... Gotta go NFC North Green Bay
D Professor's Picks:
Patriots vs. Broncos
New England - For no good reason. The Pats whooped them in Denver after Tebow got out to 16-7 lead I think and then the turnovers start rolling. Pats having won in playoffs in like 3 years but with the extra week off and they still have Brady and Belicheck, I'll take New England. The dream run for Timmy Touchdown has to end, I would rather it end next week vs Baltimore so Skip Bayless can have an on-air orgasm (pause). Buttt.....
Ravens vs Texans
Baltimore - I really dont know which Flacco shows up. The pass happy Flacco that throws them out the game or the run balanced Flacco that has to throw 15-20 times. Houston seems to have the recipe with a QB that doesn't turn the ball over, tough running game and stingy defense...sound familiar Baltimore? Hopefully the real Flacco shows up and Ray Rice touches the ball 40 times.
New Orleans vs. 49er's
New Orleans - They say NO can't play outside, is a dome team, etc. Temperature for tomorrow is set to be around 55 degrees. Its not like they are playing in Lambeau or Chicago. NO was 3-2 on road outside this year, losing to GB and TB, beating Tenn, Car, and Jax. They didnt put up the same type of numbers outside except for GB but they still scored no less than 22. The 9ers at home, only good teams they beat at home were Pitt and Giants. I don't think it is a shootout, but Saints by like 7.
Giants vs Packers
Giants - Pass rush, good offense, great QB play, enough run offense for playaction to work, that is what worked against the historically great NE Pats in Super Bowl. This team is better in many aspects than that team and would play the same type of team all the way to Super Bowl (GB, NO, Pats possibly). If the defense is thrown out the window, GB wins the shootout.
KeFarin's picks:
Patriots vs. Broncos
New England - I was one of Tebow's fiercest critics, but I finally saw his worth. The dude is a winner and he's not great, but can get that job done. With that being said... New England will beat the Broncos by at least 10 points. This is just what Tom Brady does.
Ravens vs Texans
Baltimore - So there is no way I can pick a rookie QB over the Ravens Defense. 'Nuff said.
Now to the real Games.....
New Orleans vs. 49er's
San Francisco - I know, that Brees just secured himself a record and a hall of fame spot this season but that 49ers D is ferocious. I should know they were one of the only bright spots on my Fantasy Team. San Fran will make the game a grind out and will win 20-17.
Giants vs Packers
So this game between the Giants and the Packers has potential to be pretty epic. High powered offenses with play-making defenses. No one really has been able to stop Rodgers, but Eli and the Giants will on Sunday. Giants win this game 27-23 in regulation. Unless it goes into OT where thePack will win29-23.
