Well its a good thing i don't predict games for a living because i wouldn't make much money. In the 4 wild card games i only won 1, and it was the one i was least confident about it. So as the divisional gets underway lets see if i cant do a little better this week.
AFC Divisional Round Games
# 6 Baltimore Ravens vs. # 1 Indianapolis Colts
The Ravens maybe pulled off the shocker of the wild card weekend, not the fact that they won but how they did it, a 33-14 beat down of the Patriots. Manning and the Colts haven't had an important game in about a month, which usually spells disaster for the Colts, since 1999 when the Colts have had a first round bye they are 0-3, if the Colts start slow the Ravens could do it again.
PREDICTION: RAVENS 27, COLTS 23
# 5 New York Jets vs. # 2 San Diego Chargers
The Jets are the hardest team to figure out of the final 8 that are left. The last couple games for the Jets have not been difficult and you really don't know how good they are. The Chargers however could maybe be the hottest team in football right now, and the sexy pick to win the Super Bowl, there has been a lot of talk about how good Revis is but the Chargers have more weapons than a lot of teams, don't think this will be close at all.
PREDICTION: CHARGERS 34, JETS 17
NFC Divisional Round Games
# 4 Arizona Cardinals vs. # 1 New Orleans Saints
The Cardinals were a part of maybe the most entertaining game in postseason history, beating the Packers 51-45. Kurt Warner continued his tremendous play in the playoffs. The Saints have entered the playoffs playing their worst football of the season. After starting 13-0, the Saints lost 3 in a row to end the season, including a home loss to lowly Tampa. I don't care how good of a season you have had losing 3 in a row is not a good thing.
PREDICTION: CARDINALS 38, SAINTS 24
# 3 Dallas Cowboys vs. # 2 Minnesota Vikings
Dallas entered the playoffs with its last win in postseason play being 1996, Romo and the Cowboys finally got that monkey off their back and have quickly become the favorite in the NFC. Minnesota like the Saints have had recent troubles after a great start to the season, another problem has been Adrian Peterson's fumbling problems, if they continue the Vikings run wont be long. I wonder who will be in charge of the offense Favre of Childress?
PREDICTION: COWBOYS 28, VIKINGS 24
This to me will be one of the best divisional playoff rounds in recent memory hopefully my 1-3 record will get better, but i wouldnt bet on it.
