In last week's wild card weekend, we saw pure dominance by the Saints, amazing defense by the Giants, a sign the Texans are for real and another miracle Tebow comeback by the Broncos. Now it's time for the next round an see what happens.
While I never officially wrote it done, I was 4-0 in picks last week. I did seriously pick the Broncos despite everything. So this week, let's make these picks official.
Saturday games first.
New Orleans Saints at San Fransisco 49ers
The 49ers are probably one of the ugliest teams in the league this season. I say that not because of the players but by HOW they win their games. They never score touchdowns, they even settle for field goals when they should go into the end zone. This is because they have an awesome defense. The problem with that is the Saints have one of the best offenses in the league. While I don't want the Saints to win, I just can't see San Fran pulling this one off. I hope I'm wrong.
Score: Saints 41-49ers 12
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
Tebow vs. Brady is getting prime time. That's just how it should be. This game can go one of two ways. It could be a mega shootout or a defensive struggle. Based on the previous encounter of these two teams, it will be the former. Honestly, I see this being a very back and forth contest. The real question is can Tebow lead his team to another Cinderella victory? I say...
Yes.
Score: Broncos 38-Patriots 35
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens
The Texans have been a very surprising team this year. At this point they are playing with house money. The Ravens on the other hand have shown that they are still an elite franchise. Just being serious, I don't even care about this game and I'll be at the Admirals game when it's happening. With that being said...
Score: Ravens 31-Texans 15
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
The game of the weekend. Manning vs. Rodgers. This could be a shootout. It also helps that these are my two teams. Now to the keys. For the Giants to win they have the run the ball, control the clock and keep he ball out of Roders' hands as long as possible. The Pack do not have a good defensive line so they have to take advantage of that. For the Packers to win they have to dominate at every turn and cause turnovers. At the end of the day it will come down to which team has the ball last, just like last game.
(This is going to piss some people off.)
Score: Giants 35-Packers 32
