Here we are, at one of the best (or maybe the best) weekend of the NFL season--divisional round games to determine who goes to the AFC and NFC championship games. Two games Saturday and two on Sunday, and eight really great teams battling it out. Get your popcorn ready....
Last Week: 2-2
Playoff Record: 2-2
Season Record: 167-93
Baltimore at Denver--Peyton Manning didn't just come back to the game following a year rehabilitating his new neck. He wants it all, maybe to catch up to his little brother Eli in Super Bowl rings. And this Broncos team is at least as good as some of Manning's best Colts' teams. But this game will be won on the backs of Denver's D, which is going to frustrate Joe Flacco all day long. Broncos 27, Ravens 13
Green Bay at San Francisco--In Week 1, the Niners traveled to Green Bay and upset the Packers. This time, it's in their place and a spot in the NFC title game for the second straight year is in their grasp. The question is, will Aaron Rodgers be in the grasp of Justin Smith and company before he can inflict damage with that sick group of receivers. And can Frank Gore and Colin Kaepernick inflict damage on that subpar Packers' D. Yes and yes. Niners 26, Packers 17
Seattle at Atlanta--Seeing the Seahawks come back from a 14-0 deficit on the road in DC to score 24 unanswered points has to have the Falcons shaking in their boots. They got the 1-seed for this, to face one of the hottest teams in the NFL? I hate to tell you this, Falcons' fan--but you're about to get punked in the playoffs yet again. And that's probably good for all of us who do not want to see you get smoked in the NFC title game. Seahawks 24, Falcons 20
Houston at New England--It was only one month ago that the Pats began to expose the weaknesses of the Texans and crushed them 42-14 at Foxboro. So it's not like much has changed with either of these squads, except that Houston won a playoff game already. I don't think Tom Brady will put up 42 again, but he won't have to. And then, get ready for a Brady vs. Manning AFC championship game. Patriots 28, Texans 17
