Let The Playoffs (And Predictions) Begin

[BLACKHAND]

I will say this : the texans better enjoy this year cause the colts will be very good over the next few years , win or lose today. you can have rg3 or russel wilson , give me luck. this kid is the real deal.

I like the 49ers to beat the Redskins in the NFC Championship game

No way Washington gets by Atlanta in the Divisional playoffs. It'll be Atlanta vs. Green Bay in the NFC Title Game.

And that's a totally unbiased assessment...

Green Bay will not win in San Francisco.

Washington got close to Atlanta without RGIII and I like whoever wins today to win In Atlanta.

That will be the group-think...and it's wrong.

my biggest wager of the season on Washington +

Amazed by the line.

Agree that Skins win, I just think the Falcons then beat them in Atlanta.

I'm not sure that RGIII is helping his team by staying in there at this point.

Yep....and now he looks to be done till next year.

Let's hope that RGIII's knee injury isn't serious. The Redskins lost the game, but losing him for a lengthy amount of time would be worse. That was risky to play him today, but I understand why they left him in there. It was dangerous, though.

Next weekend's games should be even more interesting than this week's.

Packers will have a tough time with San Francisco's physical style. They need to spread the Niners out and play an uptempo game like the Patriots did in the second half. They also need to stop the run, which they couldn't do in Week 1. Niners will be tough to beat.

Seattle is a bad matchup for Atlanta. Yes, the Falcons are tough at home and they know how to win the close games, but Seattle has a physical secondary and can bring pressure on the QB. I like Seattle in this game.

Denver has too much firepower for Baltimore.

New England has too much firepower for Houston. Plus the Texans have played poorly this last month.

What are your thoughts for the second round of playoffs?

[Glenneration X]

Well, I was 4 for 4 on the winners this week like you Greg (and did a bit better on the over/unders ).

Green Bay beats San Fran on a 4th quarter drive....close one.

Seattle beats Atlanta, low scoring game. Lynch takes over.

Denver and New England cruise.

GB can win if they play very fast and pretty much abandon the run. They have an extra wide now to keep them all fresh, and they must try and tire out the SF pass rush and prevent blitzes. They try staying 50-50 it isn't going to work. But not sure Mccarthy is smart enough to figure that out.
