NFL Playoff Picks


Here we go-the reason we watch pro ball.

Seahawks at Packers / line Pack by 8.
The Seahawks don't impress me at all. Alexander is a shadow of himself and their pass game has always been suspect. Pack is very strong in bad weather at home and well rested.

Pick; GB 31/ Seattle 13

Jaguars at Patriots / line Pats by 13.5
The Jags give the Pats a lot of problems and aren't intimidated at all. They can run on the Pats and that will open up the pass. Brady and Moss will score, but may have difficulty running. This may be the Pats toughest game. They will win, but it may be very close.

Pick; Pats 35/ Jags 28

Chargers at Colts / line Colts by 9
Chargers must rush Manning hard. Tomlinson has been useless against the Colts. Manning played one of his worst games in the SD loss and they still almost won. This should be a reality check for the Chargers-they just aren't very good.

Pick; Colts 38/ Chargers 18

Giants at Cowboys/ line Cowboys by 7.5
I still insist that Eli is worse than Rex. He will fold under the pressure and is no match for the Dallas D which isn't even that great. This is entirely the Cowboys game to lose. Romo needs a great game to get the press off his back and make up for last years botched hold.

Pick; Cowboys 28/ Giants 17

Pats will crush Jacksonville by over 20. Dallas might actually lose and I think of all the road teams, Seattle has the best chance of winning.

But you are right, this is why we watch Pro Ball, to watch these playoff games.

The pats will set the tone with this game, if they do "crush" the jax, then the intimidation factor will be strong!

The only possible upset I see is the NY- dallas game. otherwise, i see the semis as Jackson.
