Who ya got? Ravens @ Patriots: 2 of the Pats 4 home playoff losses at the hands of the Ravens. I don't think they have enough though. Brady and company move on. Gronk goes crazy and match up nightmare. Patriots 31 Ravens 27 Panthers @ Seahawks: Easiest one IMO to pick. Panthers have been on a little roll. But so have the defending champions. Not enough weapons for the Panthers. Cam will be running for his life. Hawks will force a few turnovers and run away early. Not to mention that place will be rocking. Seahawks 27 Panthers 17 Cowboys @ Packers: Probably the best game of the weekend. Unfortunately the end of the line for my Cowboys. I don't think the banged up Dallas defense by committee will be able to slow down Rodgers and that offense. They don't get enough pressure on the QB and Rodgers will pick them apart. Big plays will be made. The Cowboys will have success against a suspect Packers defense, but not enough. Packers at home are the Seahawks of last year. I also think weather will be a factor. Murray and his broken hand might put it on the floor a time or two. Packers 34 Cowboys 27 Colts @ Broncos: Maybe another year or two for Luck and the Colts. Couple weeks for the stumbling Broncos to get healthy. A lot of weapons for Manning and he will rise to the occasion. And aside from the offense, I think Luck will have a hard time with the Broncos defense. Colts are too inconsistent this year. Broncos 27 Colts 20
I agree with your picks. What I do not understand is the spread in the Panthers-Seahawk game. With their win last week the Panthers pulled to 500, the spread should be 14 points.
X4. I'm picking the home teams in all of them but if there is one team that can be beat at home its the pats by the ravens. I said it in another thread that of the teams to go to NE that the ravens were the worst ones for the pats to come out with a win.
I would agree, those seem like solid pick. I hope your wrong though. I'd love to see the Colts send Manning and the Donkey's packing.
I agree with your picks as well... Although I think the scores are a little high. I would LOVE to see the cowboys and colts win their match ups.
UPSET WEEKEND!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking we are going to see a few upsets this weekend. NOT with the first game. with my blinding homerism in full affect, I see the patriots stomping Baltimore, double digit win for Brady. my first upset is CAROLINA!!! I have a weird feeling they are going into Seattle, and hanging with them, and winning it on a field goal. I think the colts will be the other upset this weekend. I think luck will have his day in Denver. not sure of a score... there will be an upset in Green Bay.....an upset Jerry Jones. THE PACK WINS.........the Romo dream season and America's team LOSES.....unless there is another shady call to hand Romo his 3rd playoff win
There's always one road team winning a playoff game. These will all be good games but I am picking Patriots, Seattle (closer game than expected), Cowboys, Denver. Hate picking the Cowboys because they could blow it but I truly believe having that running game will help a lot.
Hard to argue against any of your pics, the one thing I see though is if Aaron Rodgers can make it through the whole game. The fact that he hasn't practiced all week seems to suggest that the injury may be a factor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
all I know is the ravens are the team no one wants to play in the play offs... especially the PATs 11-1 vs everyone else ans 1-2 against the ravens, I think..... Tom Brady is my man and if I was going to build a team he would be my guy... but Joe Flacco is a stud come playoff time.
Diehard Cowboys fan here. The only way the Cowboys win in Green Bay is: 1. If Rodgers injury get to be too much for him to keep playing or 2. It is aggravated. Your other picks you made I agree with.
Ravens @ Patriots: Ravens ...SORRY TOMMY .. Panthers @ Seahawks: Panthers gonna surprise you Cowboys @ Packers: Packers by 14 time for Roma to collapse .. Colts @ Broncos: Payton just doesn't have it any more not looking good lately colts by 7
Interesting stat. Aaron Rodgers 3 lowest QBR ratings this season were the 3 games he faced the least amount of blitzes. Cowboys don't blitz hardly at all.
The Ravens were the LAST team I wanted to play in the playoffs... they always have our number in the playoffs somehow it seems like. We'll find out in half dozen hours how it's gonna go down.
Yeah I think that will be a good one. Flaco tends to show up in the playoffs and that Forsett kid has really come along. I still say Pats win. Brady to Gronk for about 150 yards and 3 touchdowns. Plus you have Revis island to contend with.
