NFL Playoff Predictions (Divisional Games)

Four more games this weekend, two on Saturday and two more on Sunday.

AFC

#6 Baltimore Ravens (10-7) vs. #1 Indianapolis Colts (14-2)
January 16th at 7:15PM
Pick: Indianapolis
Comments: The Ravens sport a better defense and running game but league MVP Peyton Manning and the Colts will be too much for Baltimore especially at home.

#5 New York Jets (10-7) vs. #2 San Diego Chargers (13-3)
January 17th at 3:30PM
Pick: San Diego
Comments: Jets defense against the Chargers offense. I'd really like to pick the Jets but I'm going with San Diego at home. Jets coach Ryan may still believe but I do not.

NFC

#4 Arizona Cardinals (11-6) vs. #1 New Orleans Saints (13-3)
January 16th at 3:30PM
Pick: New Orleans
Comments: The Saints have an edge offensively. Defensively both teams seem to be evenly matched. It could be another high scoring affair with The Ain'ts coming out on top. Once again I'm sticking with the home team.

#3 Dallas Cowboys (12-5) vs. #2 Minnesota Vikings (12-4)
January 17th at 12 noon
Pick: Dallas
Comments: Dallas is just playing too well right now on both sides of the ball. Even if I wasn't a huge Cowboys fan, I'd still be picking them. The defense harasses Brett Fava Bean into making too many mistakes. Favre goes 0-4 against the Cowboys in the playoffs and Minnesota loses their first game of the year at home.

Current record 2-2
Agree? Disagree? Let me know.
