    Who ya got?

    Saints vs. Seahawks

    Seattle is next to unbeatable at home. Saints a little sketchy on the road. I'll take Marshawn going beast mode and the Seahawks. Seahawks 31 Saints 24

    Colts vs. Patriots

    Not this year Mr. Luck. Impressive comeback last week but your time will come later. I like the beat up Patriots with Brady and Bellichick. Patriots 38 Colts 31

    49ers vs. Panthers

    Probably the best game of the weekend. I think the Panthers get it done at home with their defense and causing fits for Kapernick all day. Panthers 27 49ers 24

    Chargers vs. Broncos

    I think this is a semi blowout IMO. Not sure why everyone is jumping on the Chargers lately. They are the only team to hold the Broncos to less than 400 yards (twice) this year. But after last years exit to the Ravens in the playoffs, I think Peyton and company are on a mission. Plus I want to see Brady vs. Manning in the AFC Championship. Broncos 35 Chargers 20

    I like the 49ers/Panthers pick. I think you nailed it by saying their defense will keep Kaep in check. They are very quick and athletic and I think they can remain disciplined enough to not let him run free. Either way, I'm hoping to see a shoot out.

    I'm surprised at the number of pics for the Panthers?

    They are not playoff tested like the Niners and I think Newton will struggle vs their defense.

    I
    .

    Kapernick has been struggling to throw for 200 yards all season. People claim that now that Crabtree is back everything changes. I don't buy it. It will be a close game because of both defenses, but I dont' think he can score enough points. Carolina held him to 91 passing yards the 1st meeting!! 16 yards rushing and a 7.7 QBR rating. That's not going to change. He has his hands full. And if it wasn't for some HUGE plays he made with his legs rushing for a season high (at the most opportune times) 98 yards, they dont' win that game at Green Bay.

    Saints vs. Seahawks

    I see the Seahawks beating the Saints in what is a great Offensive battle. Seattle 38 Saints 35

    Colts vs. Patriots

    I see the Colts coming into this game wanting to win and doing just that. The Patriots are great at home but I dont think the Patriots "got it" this year. The Colts have beat everyone that matters this year and I dont see it stopping this week! Colts 31 Pats 27

    49ers vs. Panthers

    I cant see the Panthers edging by this time? I understand that Kaepernick for the Niners did not have the best game last time these two met, but really neither did Cam Newton. It was truly a battle of Defense, and I expect to see the same game this time around, but this time the Niners have a little more Offensive power and will come out with the win! 49ers 24 Panthers 17

    Chargers vs. Broncos

    I think this game will be boring actually. I am guessing that Denver jumps out front with an early 14 point lead and the Chargers never really get close to coming back. This one is simple, Peyton may not be a "great playoff" QB, but the Broncos are on a different level of the game. I like this score posted earlier Broncos 35 Chargers 20

    According to the pundits the panthers should just forfeit.

    Luck has a bright future but still shows some immaturity. Too many mistakes to beat the Pats.

    I was actually cheering for the Saints...for some reason, I don't like Seattle. Brees is just like Manning...he sets a ton of records and puts up pretty stats but doesn't have that "killer" instinct that Brady does.

    I'm rooting for the Panther and Chargers tomorrow...
