NFL Playoffs- Week 2 (Divisional Playoff)

[Terminator]

Considering I usually pick'em right, and I'm undefeated in my playoff picks, who better to tell you how to bet your money in Vegas this weekend, than yours truly. Sooo, here we go:

Indianapolis Colts vs. Baltimore Ravens

I went with the Ravens, though I feel this could go either way. For the Colts to win, they'll need a perfect game from Peyton Manning, and the Colts offensive line needs to block. Otherwise, the Ravens should take this in a close one.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints

These two teams played during the regular season (in October), with the Saints winning on a last second field goal. From 2000-2005, there have been eight times when a playoff game featured a rematch from the regular-season, and the winner of the regular-season game was 8-0 in the playoffs. Joe Horn may not play, which would be a huge loss for the Saints. However, New Orleans offense and defense will be too much for the resurgent Eagles. I expect an emotionally charged New Orleans crowd.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears

These teams met in October, with the Bears winning 37-6 on a Sunday night in Chicago. Shaun Alexander did not play in that game. Even with Alexander, I expect the Bears defense to be too much for the Seahawks. The Bears aren't exactly the Cowgirls.

Patriots vs. Chargers

In my opinion, the winner of this will go to the Super Bowl, and possibly win it all. This was my hardest pick. Either team could win. The Chargers have a better team, but New England is a good team and can never be counted out of a playoff game. The Chargers have an inexperienced QB in Phillip Rivers, and the Patriots have the best QB in the history of the NFL playoffs in Tom Brady. For the Patriots to win, they have to handle Tomlinson and find a way to block San Diego's blitzes. One thing in the Patriots' favor is that Brady is comfortable in the shotgun, and he can use that formation to see the blitz better. For San Diego, the key is that they must do a good job blocking New England's vastly underrated front seven. This will be the best match of this week, in my opinion. I am going to take the underdog Patriots.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Baltimore Ravens

Colts are headed for, dare I say, the SuperBowl!

[Terminator]

The Colts have won, thanks to 3 turnovers by the Ravens, which the Colts capitalized on.

Saints........ New Orleans needs a big win.

[Terminator]

Saints win a tight one, thanks to a bonehead Eagles player who caused a pass by Jeff Garcia not to count, on a penalty.

bears win!!!!!! bring on da saints

[Terminator]

The Bears are lucky. Their play wasn't that impressive to me, especially for a team with their record. Seattle should have won, but they made too many mistakes, and the Bears finally capitalized.

the bears were damm lucky. Alexander looked like an unstopable train against the bears defense. a 49 yard field goal is good as Gould. next week should be a good game. at least grossman can breathe alittle easier even though he looked every time someone got in the backfield. anyways we lived to see another game. keeping my fingers crossed

Yea it woulda been nice for the SAINTS to have the game in the Dome

I HATE THE PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am NEVER rooting for them AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a sad day. The better team lost.

Sigh....I'm going to drown my sorrows in a tub of Rocky Road Ice Cream.

Get your bets for Vegas ready. I've picked 7 out of 8 playoff games correctly thus far!

[Jackalope]

When you say you've "picked" 7 of 8, are you taking the spread into account, or just who won?

Now that my Eagles are out of it....go Bears! I want to see those Saints go down!

I'm speaking of the games which outcomes I predicted, not a point spread.
